One of the leading global private markets investment platforms, Linqto, has partnered with Farther, a cutting-edge financial institution specialising in high-tech wealth management. Effective immediately, Farther’s advisors will have access to Linqto’s comprehensive platform, providing a centralised place to discover, evaluate, and invest in some of the most significant tech unicorns and private companies worldwide.
“Farther is not just any wealth management platform; they’re an innovative fintech visionary,” says Chief Operating Officer of Linqto, Joe Endoso. “Farther is one of the fastest growing wealth tech firms in the market, while Linqto is one of the most innovative private investing platforms. Our two companies are pushing the boundaries of innovation: Farther’s clients will benefit from access to direct investments in venture-backed private companies, and Linqto will further expand our business by adding value to Farther’s wealth managers. We’re thrilled to embark on this new chapter.”
The partnership will enable more robust access to one of the alternative investment space’s most compelling asset classes – private equity – with minimum investments as low as US$10,000 and without the traditional brokerage, management, and performance fees of traditional private equity or venture capital funds.
“Our partnership enhances Farther’s unique offering to their clients, who will now have access to institutional quality research and ‘startup equity’ investment opportunities through the Linqto platform,” explains Chief Revenue Officer of Linqto, Leo LaForce. “Farther has the unique combination of forefront technology, a sophisticated platform, and trusted counsel. Their wealth managers will be well versed in the different attributes of the asset class and be in a position to guide their clients on why one may want to consider allocating portions of a portfolio into direct private company investments. We are proud to work closely with such a quality, like-minded partner.”
“Farther’s fee-only model means we can bring our clients the best products on the market,” states Farther’s Co-Founder & CEO, Taylor Matthews. “Farther very much considers Linqto to be one of those premier products, and we couldn’t be more excited for this strategic and powerful partnership.”
