Munich/London, July 22, 2020. ​Europe's leading digital wealth manager Scalable Capital has raised an additional 50 million Euros in a Series D financing round. The money will be used to further accelerate growth in wealth management, brokerage and its B2B business. One new and all existing investors participated in the funding round; accordingly BlackRock, HV Holtzbrinck Ventures and Tengelmann Ventures invested once again. Since Scalable Capital was founded, the total funding has increased to 116 million Euros.

"In times of Covid-19, our funding round is a powerful signal; it shows that our focused, digital business model is convincing investors”, says Erik Podzuweit, co-founder and co-CEO of Scalable Capital. “Just recently, we launched our Scalable "Prime Broker" with trading flat rate with great success. It is interesting to see that the clients of our broker are on average 10 years younger than of our wealth management service. We will use the additional capital to expand our position as the market leader in digital wealth management and to reach new customer segments with the broker".

"We established Scalable Capital to make investing easier and better through technology," says Florian Prucker, co-founder and co-CEO of Scalable Capital. "Not only has our B2C business grown strongly over the last few years, but Scalable Capital's technology is also used by more and more B2B partners; most recently we launched our partnership with Barclays. With this funding round, we also want to expand our team of currently 130 employees in order to drive our expansion and the further development of our platform.”
