Wealthcap

What Wealthcap does

Wealthcap, now operating as UniCredit Invest Alternatives, is a German alternative asset manager headquartered in Munich (Grünwald) and serving as the dedicated European hub for alternative investments within UniCredit Group. The firm was established approximately 1985 and rebranded to UniCredit Invest Alternatives in 2026, although it retains the Wealthcap sub-brand for legacy fund products. The company manages and distributes alternative investment vehicles across five core asset classes: private equity, private credit, infrastructure, renewable energy, and real estate (residential, commercial, industrial, and specialty). A deep fund catalogue includes the Wealthcap Spezial-AIF series, HFS Germany, BC Equity, BC US Retail, Life USA, Wealthcap Aircraft, Wealthcap Portfolio, Wealthcap Solar, Wealthcap LebensWert (life-insurance linked), and ZweitmarktWerte (secondary market) vehicles, alongside newer offerings such as Wealthcap Private Equity 25/26, Immobilien Deutschland 42/46, and Wealthcap Solar 1.

The distribution architecture combines direct investor access via the FondsPortal, third-party distribution through the VertriebspartnerPortal, a dedicated institutional sales team, and the onemarkets Alternatives platform that delivers liquid and semi-liquid ELTIF-structured products with quarterly redemption. Beyond fund management, the firm operates an active real estate management business handling acquisitions, dispositions, and leasing for managed commercial assets, as evidenced by recent partnerships with Daimler Buses (E-charging hub), Leonardo Hotels (Ten Towers), and WFS (24,000 m² lease). Additional capabilities include secondary-market trading infrastructure and investor services covering inheritance and gifting processes.

The business model is subscription-based recurring revenue from management and performance fees on alternative investment funds for two primary segments: private investors accessing illiquid and semi-liquid products, and institutional/semi-professional investors requiring institutional-quality governance and reporting. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; investment minimums and terms vary by fund product and investor classification. The UniCredit Group parent provides brand credibility, balance-sheet backing, and pan-European customer reach that materially supports distribution scale and capital deployment capacity.
