Legal and Compliance

S64 is the preeminent alternatives fintech and solutions partner to the wealth management industry across EMEA and APAC.

We enable private banks, wealth managers and intermediaries to deliver private markets with institutional grade robustness and repeatability. We also enable private markets managers to scale private wealth distribution across these regions through best-in-class structuring, lifecycle execution and enterprise technology.

Whilst significant proportion of what we deliver is white labelled and sits behind the brands, systems and processes of our partners, S64 is the operating infrastructure powering private wealth access to private markets across EMEA & APAC.
