Access To Private Markets

Would you like to invest in private markets or provide your clients with access to private markets? Kontora combines regulatory infrastructure and operational implementation with something that, for many partners, can only be achieved through considerable effort on their part: access to selected international managers – further enhanced by our affiliation with AlTi Tiedemann Global. A solution that integrates seamlessly into your business model – available as a white-label solution under your own brand, if required.

Access to Private Markets

FROM STRUCTURE TO TARGET INVESTMENT

Anyone wishing to tap into private markets professionally needs more than just a fund vehicle. What is crucial is the interplay between a robust fund infrastructure, regulatory certainty under the KAGB, careful manager selection and access to suitable investment targets. This is precisely where Kontora comes in. As a BaFin-regulated fund management company, we work with you to develop the right structure, handle the regulatory and operational implementation, and support you throughout the entire process, from conception to day-to-day administration. At the same time, we offer you access to a wide range of selected target funds and managers in the areas of private equity, private debt, real estate and other alternative asset classes.

The result is a solution that not only manages private markets investments, but also makes them investable, scalable and multi-client capable – available as a white-label model under your own brand, if required. You retain the client relationship. Kontora provides the structure, access, administration and ongoing monitoring behind the scenes.

FAQs

How Do Asset Managers And Family Offices Gain Access To Private Markets?

Through a partnership with Kontora KVG, asset managers and family offices gain institutional access to curated target funds and selected managers in the areas of private equity, private debt, property and other alternative asset classes. This is made possible by our affiliation with AlTi Tiedemann Global – one of the leading global wealth management platforms with over US$82 billion in assets under management. For many partners, gaining access to international managers would otherwise require a considerable amount of in-house effort. Kontora handles sourcing, selection, structuring and ongoing monitoring – without you having to build up your own GP network, due diligence capabilities or regulatory infrastructure.

What Is A Service-Based KVG, And What Role Does Kontora Play In This?

As a BaFin-regulated capital management company, a service KVG takes on the full operational and regulatory management of investment funds in accordance with the KAGB. Kontora KVG acts in this capacity on behalf of partners wishing to offer private markets solutions: from fund launch and coordination with supervisory authorities, through fund accounting and payment processing, to compliance, risk management and ongoing reporting.

What Role Does Kontora Play In Structuring Private Markets Solutions?

Kontora KVG supports the entire process – from developing the appropriate fund structure through to regulatory implementation and ongoing administration. In doing so, Kontora combines three service levels: institutional investment sourcing and manager selection in collaboration with colleagues from AlTi Tiedemann Global – one of the leading global wealth management platforms with access to selected international managers, which for many partners would only be achievable at considerable cost to themselves – the regulatory infrastructure as a BaFin-regulated service KVG; and operational implementation, including fund accounting, reporting and the coordination of all service providers.

When Is A Special AIF The Right Structure?

A specialised AIF is suitable when institutional or semi-professional investors – such as family offices, foundations or asset managers – require a bespoke, regulatory-compliant fund solution for private markets investments. The structure enables individual investment strategies, clear governance and professional administration – without the partner itself needing a KVG licence.

Who Would Benefit From A White-label Model In The Private Markets Sector?

The white-label model is aimed at asset managers, family offices and institutional partners who wish to offer their clients access to private markets under their own brand. Kontora provides the complete back-office infrastructure – sourcing, structuring, administration and monitoring – whilst the client relationship and branding remain entirely with the partner. Depending on requirements, there are two models to choose from: a modular investment platform or a dedicated white-label fund of funds.
