HANetf, a London, UK-based white-label UCITS ETF platform, completed its second funding round of undisclosed amount.
Backers included ETF veterans ThirdStream Partners, Jim Wiandt and Roger Hodenius, which joined existing shareholders Point72 Ventures, owned by Steve Cohen, and Elkstone, a family office based in Ireland.
The company intends to use the funds to increase staff numbers by nearly 50% in 2019, including sales, distribution, product management, marketing and PR.
Led by Nik Bienkowski, founder and co-CEO, HANetf provides the complete technical, regulatory and distribution infrastructure needed to launch and manage UCITS ETFs without asset managers having to develop in-house infrastructure or incur a substantial cost base.
The company recently launched its first three ETFs (EMQQ Emerging Markets Internet and Ecommerce ETF, HAN-GINS Cloud Technology ETF and HAN-GINS Global Innovative Technology ETF) on three major markets in London, Italy and Germany.
