Euroclear and Macquarie expand private wealth access to infrastructure investments

Brussels, 10 November 2026 – Euroclear FundsPlace^® and Macquarie Asset Management are collaborating to broaden access to private infrastructure strategies, responding to growing demand from private wealth investors for exposure to real assets.

Demand for real assets across FundsPlace has increased significantly over the past year. The share of private markets allocations to real assets has increased by more than 50% over the past year, from 13% in Q4 2025 to 20% in Q3 2026. Infrastructure managers on the platform have raised more than €1 billion from Euroclear’s intermediary network since 2025.

In recent years, Macquarie has continued to build out its private wealth distribution network, working with global private banks, wealth managers and advisory channels to deliver institutional-quality real asset solutions. The partnership connects Macquarie’s market-leading asset management expertise with FundsPlace’s distribution infrastructure, simplifying access to an asset class traditionally restricted to institutional investors.

By streamlining distribution, execution and custody, the collaboration lowers historical barriers to entry, enabling private wealth advisers to efficiently incorporate private infrastructure into their clients’ portfolios.

Vincent Clause, Global Head of Euroclear FundsPlace, stated: "Our priority at FundsPlace is helping clients allocate to and distribute the strategies they need and what we’re seeing on the platform and hearing from distributors across Europe, Asia and the Middle East points clearly to growing demand for real assets. By partnering with Macquarie, a leading sector specialist with real global scale, we can give our clients greater access to top-tier infrastructure funds without the operational complexity."

Henry Middleton, Head of EMEA Wealth at Macquarie Asset Management, stated: "Private wealth portfolios are undergoing a structural shift toward private markets, with infrastructure standing out as a core allocation for long-term diversification and inflation resilience. Infrastructure investments require scale, specialised sourcing and operational oversight. Through our collaboration with Euroclear FundsPlace, we are creating a seamless operational pathway for private investors to participate in essential infrastructure strategies globally."
