Monark Markets and Sydecar Partnership Revolutionizes Access to Private Company Investments

Monark Markets and Sydecar: Transforming Access to Private Investments

Monark Markets, a startup based in New York focused on Alts-as-a-Service (AaaS), has initiated a strategic partnership with Sydecar, a platform dedicated to improving the private market investment landscape. This collaboration aims to streamline the way brokerage platforms can offer their clients access to private company shares, paving the way for a more inclusive investment environment.

A Fusion of Expertise

Combining Monark's technological capabilities with Sydecar's infrastructure, the partnership integrates digital fund administration and ledger functionalities to create an all-encompassing solution that covers the entire investment transaction lifecycle. This means institutions can now embed private company investment functionalities directly into their brokerage applications.

Empowering Brokerages and Investors

The API-driven solution provides brokerages with a means to design tailored user experiences, enabling accredited investors to dive into private markets without leaving their familiar brokerage environments. Monark’s subsidiary, MMM Securities, has successfully allied with various venture funds, secondary brokers, and marketplace players, ensuring competitive pricing on private company shares. This will allow for the secondary trading of Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) interests via their Alternative Trading System, potentially enhancing liquidity opportunities for investors.

Monark will also empower syndicate leads and private company SPV issuers by offering tools to originate and distribute SPVs throughout their extensive brokerage network. "We are thrilled to collaborate with Sydecar, leveraging their top-tier infrastructure for private company SPV management," noted Ben Haber, CEO of Monark.

Addressing Market Demands

Given the rising interest among investors for alternative investment opportunities, Monark and Sydecar's partnership seeks to meet this demand by offering a robust market infrastructure. The objective is to create a seamless user experience at lowered investment requirements while providing crucial access to secondary markets and vital market data.

As traditional brokerage platforms strive to accommodate the growing trend towards alternative investments, delivering a superior user experience has become crucial for attracting investor assets. Nik Talreja, CEO of Sydecar, highlighted the burgeoning potential, noting, "With many companies opting to remain private longer, the activity surrounding private company stock is on the rise, and this partnership addresses the needs of both investors and early-stage investors seeking liquidity alternatives."

The Future of Private Market Investments

Looking forward, Monark and Sydecar aim to leverage SPVs to establish a centralized system for recording private market investments. This would contribute to the development of a dynamic capital market ecosystem addressing various private asset classes.

Monark Markets, founded in 2022, delivers a B2B platform that enables businesses to integrate private securities into their customer engagement strategies seamlessly. Meanwhile, Sydecar has carved out a niche by automating back-office operations for venture investors, marking a significant step towards standardizing how investment vehicles are created and executed in private markets.
