S64 launches flagship sustainable infrastructure opportunity for the Australian wealth management industry

UK headquartered S64, the global alternatives fintech and solutions partner to the wealth management industry, and DWS, one of the world’s largest asset managers, have expanded their partnership with the launch of a sustainable infrastructure focussed Wholesale Australian Unit Trust.

Starting in 2021, DWS has partnered with S64 to widen access to DWS’ infrastructure investment business for the private wealth channel, leveraging S64’s product manufacturing capabilities.

In 2023, the collaboration launched a sustainable infrastructure offering for wealth managers in EMEA & APAC. Through the new Wholesale Australian Unit Trust, access is now extended to wealth managers in Australia.

S64’s Australian Unit Trust Platform empowers financial intermediaries to distribute private markets opportunities to investors through product manufacturing solutions and end-to-end digital lifecycle management.

Tarun Nagpal, CEO of S64, commented, “We are pleased to extend our longstanding partnership with DWS by supporting their delivery of private assets into the Australian private wealth channel through an Australian Unit Trust. Together we have introduced a solution that meets the growing demands for world-class infrastructure opportunities and sustainable investments from Australia’s wealth managers and financial intermediaries.”

Matt Stovold, Head of Australia and New Zealand at S64, said, “This partnership has created an exciting opportunity for Australia’s wealth managers and financial intermediaries to access DWS’ world-class sustainable infrastructure opportunities through an Australia Unit Trust.”

Lidia Tomova, CEO of Australia and Head of Client Coverage, Australia and New Zealand at DWS, added, “We are delighted to partner with S64 to unlock access to our infrastructure investments business for the Australian private wealth channel.”
