The founder-led WealthTech company QPLIX, a leader in wealth management software for family offices and private banks, has secured funding from tech investment firm Partech via its growth fund.
The investment of over €25 million will support the company's growth objectives and facilitate the implementation of its international expansion plans. As a result, Partech has become an investor alongside Deutsche Bank, with both holding collectively a minority stake.
Building on Partech's expertise in scaling international software companies, this partnership will support expansion into key markets such as France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, as well as the Middle East and the APAC region.
"Partech’s global network and extensive expertise make them the perfect partner for realising our vision of international market leadership in the Wealth Tech sector. With Partech and Deutsche Bank, we are very well-positioned to expand into new markets." Kai Linde, Co-Founder at QPLIX.
"QPLIX sets the gold standard for family offices, asset managers, and private banks, particularly through its expertise in illiquid assets, top-tier service and security standards. We are excited to support QPLIX in accelerating their investments into new markets and further expanding the platform."Andrew Whiting, Partner at Partech.
Since 2019, Deutsche Bank has been a key partner to QPLIX as its first external shareholder. The bank utilises QPLIX as an innovative portfolio management system to external asset managers, which has been jointly devised by both partners. This collaboration has also led to a new offering for the bank's wealth management and UHNW (Ultra High Net Worth) clients, providing them with enhanced transparency in their financial matters across different banks. QPLIX-based solutions are also used in the bank's family office services, Deutsche Oppenheimer Family Office.
"The investment of Partech marks another significant milestone in the successful journey of QPLIX. The international expansion of QPLIX opens up new opportunities and services for our clients," says Frank Schriever, Vice Chairman Deutsche Bank Private Bank.
