LIQID enters partnership with Upvest for its ELTIF offering. * LIQID is expanding its technology platform and will rely on Upvest as its new infrastructure partner for its NXT funds. * By integrating Upvest, LIQID is increasing the scalability and efficiency of its platform. * For the first time, a semi-liquid fund structure is being fully mapped digitally via APIs. Berlin, 01. December 2025 - LIQID, one of Germany's leading digital wealth managers, is expanding its technological platform and partners with Upvest, Europe's leading provider of investment infrastructure, for its ELTIF offering. With Private Equity NXT, launched in 2024, LIQID has established one of Europe's fastest-growing ELTIF funds for private investors - opening access to an asset class that was previously reserved almost exclusively for institutional investors: digital, curated, and cost-efficient. By connecting to Upvest's investment infrastructure, the semi-liquid fund structure for private investors is mapped end-to-end via digital interfaces for the first time. LIQID is thus consistently driving forward the technological expansion of its platform and laying the foundation for an even more customer-friendly investment experience. With Upvest, Upvest is bringing one of the leading technology providers for investment infrastructure on board. For its customers, the switch to Upvest's Investment API enables faster and more efficient order processing. At the same time, Upvest is sending a clear signal. As a leading WealthTech, Upvest intend to further strengthen its ambition to make exclusive asset classes digitally accessible - supported by scalability and quality. Managing Director of LIQID By fully digitising the integration of ELTIFs, LIQID is setting a new standard for how long-term investments can be offered in an accessible, transparent, and efficient way. This collaboration reflects its shared vision of making investing as simple and intuitive as possible. CEO and co-founder of Upvest This partnership reinforces Upvest's position as Europe's leading investment infrastructure provider for financial institutions modernising their investment offerings. Upvest's clients already include fast-growing fintechs such as Revolut, N26, bunq, Webull, and Raisin, as well as digital banks such as Openbank and DKB. About LIQID LIQID brings family-office standards to digital wealth management, giving discerning retail investors access to a broad investment universe - from cash and capital markets to private markets. The independent WealthTech, headquartered in Berlin with an office in Munich, lowers entry barriers and makes leading equity, private-equity, and venture-capital funds investable. Assets under management exceed €3.5 billion. The approach is made-to-fit: from €100,000, clients receive bespoke investment solutions and access to exclusive portfolios. Asset allocation is aligned with target return, risk profile, and liquidity needs; private markets complement the core portfolio where they provide a clear diversification and return contribution.
