04 Oct VDK Capital and Delio to offer a new digital investment platform for expanding access to niche private markets investments

Tuesday October 4th, 2022 – VDK Capital, which has been building a diversified, global ecosystem connecting it to purpose-driven investments, today announced its partnership with Delio, a fintech specializing in helping qualified investors to connect with alternative investment opportunities — quickly, transparently and compliantly. The partnership will deliver a new digital investment platform to further democratize access to niche private markets investments.

Private markets are evolving and VDK Capital’s unique platform facilitates access, analysis and execution of niche private-market transactions for any qualified investor. Now, private banks, family offices, pension funds and independent ultra-high net individuals will have streamlined access to private investments. Our ecosystem, with its varying needs, can rely on VDK Capital’s experience and tailored solutions to access disruptive investments. Delio’s highly configurable technology and financial solutions expertise will enable the partnership to create an end-to-end digital infrastructure for private markets.

Vasileios Karatzenis, chief executive officer and founder of VDK Capital, comments: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with the team at Delio. We anticipate this first step will lead to a highly successful and long-term relationship. Delio’s cutting-edge technology will power the expansion of VDK Capital’s private markets strategy and deliver a smooth, efficient and fully digitised experience for our ecosystem.”

Most financial institutions still connect clients with alternative assets through inefficient distribution models and manual processes, while trying to navigate the challenges of siloed data and strict regulatory frameworks. With private companies needing better access to capital and investors increasingly seeking opportunities to make a difference with their investment choices, there is a clear benefit of using technology to make it easier for financial institutions to match Founders and niche VC Funds with capital opportunities from a wider range of investors. Data-driven strategies based on client insight and investor matching are also much more likely to yield successful results than trying to identify suitable investment opportunities based purely on “gut feeling.”

Gareth Lewis, chief executive of Delio, said: “Our mission is to help financial institutions unlock private markets for their clients at both an individual and institutional level. We’re delighted to be working with Vas and the team at VDK Capital. Their desire to connect investors with companies making a positive contribution to the world is clearly aligned with our values and I look forward to seeing how their Delio-powered platform will accelerate their efforts in this space.”
