WealthTech is one of fastest-growing areas of FinTech globally, and the Cyberport community has welcomed a diverse range of exceptional WealthTech start-ups and companies from around the world. Among them is Moonfare, a Berlin-based digital platform that enables professional investors to access bite-sized private equity investments.
The company, which has a global AUM of EUR2.6 billion and operates in 23 countries, joined the Cyberport community in 2021 with the clear goal of capitalising on the booming wealth management and WealthTech opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region and Mainland China.
Moonfare enables institutional investors and eligible clients to invest at a lower threshold in over 95 carefully selected private equity funds across the spectrum – venture, growth, buyouts, and private credit. Thanks to the company’s pioneering digital secondary market for private market funds, investors can also trade stakes with other members or the company’s institutional partner, Lexington Capital, for earlier liquidity. What’s more, Moonfare collaborates with private banks and other wealth management institutions to provide their customers with access to an asset class that is typically out of reach for individual investors.
Moonfare’s end-to-end digital platform means investors can complete onboarding, investment, and portfolio review directly on its online platform. Investor and operational security are ensured by the company’s range of industry-standard digital and procedural controls, including data encryption, DDoS and web application security, and backups and recovery.
Despite its relatively short time in Asia, the company’s Asian expansion has yielded remarkable results. Its user base in Asia has increased by an astounding 86% year-on-year growth, and its AUM in Asia has surpassed EUR250 million. Moonfare has already been recognised for its excellence, receiving the “Best WealthTech Solution” award from Asian Private Banker.
