Berlin — Early-stage inves­tor and opera­tio­nal VC Project A was part of the Series D finan­cing round of Europe’s leading digi­tal wealth mana­ger for private clients LIQID . The round is worth €88 million and was led by LGT, one of the world’s largest family-owned private banking and asset manage­ment groups. In addi­tion to Project A, HQ Trust, the multi-family office of the Harald Quandt family, and Dieter von Holtz­brinck Ventures also parti­ci­pa­ted in the finan­cing round. Upon comple­tion of the round, LGT will be LIQID’s largest inves­tor along­side Tosca­fund Asset Manage­ment of London. Benja­min Ullrich, Martin Scha­per and Martyna Sabat of YPOG provi­ded compre­hen­sive legal advice to VC Project A.

Co-foun­ded by Chris­tian Schnei­der-Sickert, CEO (photo), Berlin-based LIQID offers sophisti­ca­ted private clients digi­tal access to invest­ment stra­te­gies and oppor­tu­ni­ties previously available only to high-net-worth and insti­tu­tio­nal inves­tors for a frac­tion of the tradi­tio­nal mini­mum invest­ment. This includes award-winning asset manage­ment as well as profes­sio­nally cura­ted port­fo­lios of private equity, venture capi­tal and real estate funds. Since 2018, LIQID says it has doubled client assets under manage­ment each year and curr­ently mana­ges over €1.4 billion. The Series D finan­cing round is subject to regu­la­tory appr­oval and includes a secon­dary component.
