Through the partnership, AIX will enable InvestX to offer broker-dealers and advisors an all-digital investing experience for their special purpose vehicles (SPVs) onboarding. And for firms that are interested in further exploring SPV opportunities, the InvestX GEM platform is a secondary market for SPVs, exclusively for broker-dealers.
“We believe in creating a better experience for all types of alternative investment vehicles,” explained Joseph P. Ujobai, CEO of AIX. “We are excited to partner with InvestX to make investing in SPVs easier for advisors and their clients, and the opportunity to digitize the full lifecycle of owning and selling these products.”
AIX offers a technology solution that plugs into wealth managers’ and fund sponsors’ existing alts business, working behind the scenes to turn even the most complex and cumbersome investing experience into an easy one.
“We are excited to be partnering with AIX,” said Brian Schaeffer, Managing Director of InvestX. “AIX’s innovation and commitment to the alternative asset class is a great complement to the InvestX mission of democratizing the Pre-IPO asset class, by providing broker dealers with access to world class Pre-IPO Giants.”
