Revolut expands retail investing with private tech access in Europe
Europe's retail investing market is widening beyond listed assets as fintech platforms look for new ways to attract individual investors. Revolut says it plans to give customers access to high-growth private technology companies through a new structure created with Carne Group.
Highlights
- Revolut on Monday launches Revolut Ventures, partnering with Carne Group to let app users invest in private companies through Revolut Securities Europe UAB.
- Retail clients can now access private technology company investments via the Revolut app amid a trend of longer private market periods for growth firms.
- Revolut's move targets European demand for pre-IPO tech investment and increases competition among digital finance platforms offering diversified asset access.
Private market offering for app users
As reported by Bloomberg, citing Bloomberg Billionaires, Revolut on Monday announces the incorporation of Revolut Ventures, a partnership between Revolut Securities Europe UAB and asset-management platform Carne Group.The London-headquartered fintech says clients will be able to use the Revolut app to build positions in private companies. The move broadens the asset classes available to the company's individual investor clients and extends its push deeper into investment products.
Broader shift in access to growth companies
The new offering comes as private technology companies are staying private for longer, delaying their arrival on public markets. That trend has limited retail investors' direct exposure to high-growth firms during earlier stages of expansion.By opening access through its app, Revolut is targeting demand from customers seeking alternatives to traditional listed equities. The initiative also adds to competition among digital finance platforms in Europe as they look to differentiate their investment offerings.
Our earlier article on EQT’s acquisition of Stockbridge explained how private capital managers are turning to bigger, multi-strategy platforms as fundraising becomes tougher and exits slow. We highlighted how the deal expands EQT’s real estate arm after its Coller Capital purchase and reflects wider consolidation among large private equity groups seeking scale and diversification.
