What Schroder Adveq does

Schroder Adveq is a private markets investment management firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland. Following its 2017 acquisition by Schroders plc (LSE: SDX, founded 1804), Adveq was integrated into the Schroders Capital division, Schroders' global private markets platform. The firm now operates as part of a broader offering spanning private equity, real estate, private debt and credit alternatives, infrastructure, and multi-private markets portfolio solutions, with $112 billion in AUM as of December 31, 2025.

Schroder Adveq / Schroders Capital serves three primary client segments: institutional investors (pension funds, endowments, foundations), wealth clients (high-net-worth individuals and family offices), and intermediaries (Swiss wealth managers and private banks). The business distributes through dedicated institutional sales and wealth solutions teams, supplemented by intermediary channels and partnerships such as the Future Growth Capital joint venture with Standard Chartered targeting UK professional investors under the Mansion House Compact. Sub-brands including BlueOrchard (impact investing and microfinance) and Schroders Greencoat (climate-focused investment) extend the platform into adjacent verticals.

The revenue model is asset-management-fee-based and recurring, with management fees charged on AUM across the four core private market asset classes plus performance fees tied to investment returns. The firm employs 820+ people globally, including 425+ investment professionals across 25 locations spanning EMEA, the Americas, and Asia Pacific. There is no evidence of AI-native product capabilities; the underlying technology is described as a private markets investment platform, with AI discussed only in published insights on its potential impact on investment outcomes.
