iCapital announced in a statement a strategic investment and partnership with LYNK Markets, a fintech platform that drives the distribution of private markets in Latin America. This collaboration introduces a scalable international investment solution through private ETNs (Exchange Traded Notes), tradable securities that expand access to alternative investments in the Latin American wealth management channel.
“The Latin American market is undergoing a profound transformation as alternative investments shift from being exclusive to institutional investors to being increasingly adopted by a broader spectrum of investors. At iCapital, we help wealth managers and their clients access the right alternatives for their needs,” said Lawrence Calcano, Chairman and CEO of iCapital.
“Through our partnership with LYNK Markets, the Private Notes of Alternative Investment Funds offer a structured and scalable solution that provides financial advisors with simplified access to alternative investments, strengthening asset allocation and portfolio flexibility. For fund managers, these private ETNs lower barriers to entry, accelerate launches, and optimize distribution, promoting greater transparency and efficiency across the alternative investment ecosystem,” he added.
Through this partnership, asset managers will be able to adopt alternative fund strategies by simplifying investment processes, due diligence, reporting, and settlement through leading international clearing platforms.
“Each private ETN has a unique ISIN for global distribution, accelerating time to market, strengthening offshore channels, and reducing operational complexity while preserving client confidentiality. Wealth managers will benefit from improved access to alternative investments with lower investment minimums, simpler onboarding processes, real-time information, and integrated regulatory confidence through iCapital Marketplace. This new solution will be available in January 2026,” the statement noted.
“Partnering with iCapital brings together two fintech leaders committed to transforming private market investing,” said Mario Rivero, CEO of LYNK Markets. “By combining LYNK Markets’ private ETN technology with iCapital’s distribution capability and robust platform, we’re providing financial advisors with a new tool to facilitate alternative investments at an international level.”
The terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
