ROYC, a leading global Platform-as-a-Service provider for alternative investments, has announced a strategic partnership with I Squared Capital, a prominent independent global infrastructure investment manager. Under the agreement, ROYC will serve as I Squared’s technology partner in Europe, supporting its expansion into the private wealth channel.

The collaboration aims to combine cutting-edge technology with private markets expertise to remove operational friction and enhance investor experiences.

Scaling Private Wealth with Technology

“Our mission is to remove the operational friction that has historically slowed strategies targeting the broader Private Wealth segment,” said Octavian Popescu, CEO of ROYC. “By combining ROYC’s deep structuring expertise with our cloud-native operating system, we enable asset managers to scale efficiently and deliver seamless investor journeys.”

Gautam Bhandari, Global Chief Investment Officer and Managing Partner at I Squared, added, “ROYC has been an important partner in developing our new wealth platform, which increases our access to capital. Infrastructure is at the heart of global growth. With aging assets and rising government deficits worldwide, the demand for private capital to finance high-quality infrastructure has never been greater.”

Why This Matters

The partnership reflects a broader trend in the alternative investment space: technology-driven platforms are increasingly critical for scaling private market operations. By automating fund operations and providing real-time data, platforms like ROYC reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and create a more seamless investor experience. For I Squared, this tech infusion opens new avenues in the private wealth market, helping to channel capital into infrastructure—a traditionally illiquid but high-demand asset class.
