RIVA Markets: Revolutionizing the private and real estate debt market
ABOUT US
RIVA Markets is a London-based and globally active Fintech founded by a clear vision, to revolutionize the global capital markets, and in particular private and real estate debt and fund management.
Capital markets technologies are highly complex and costly to manage, transact and maintain. But markets like private and real estate debt, as well as, fund management are still heavily manual and paper-driven with only minimal innovations. Processes involve primarily siloed systems, and a number of middlemen and service providers to ensure data is correct and transactions are conducted trustfully. Assets and funds are managed manually and the secondary market for private and alternative assets is clearly lacking efficient market access and trade facilitation.
RIVA Markets was born out of the need in the industry to develop and provide the next-generation capital market infrastructure. We’re dedicated to developing and providing the best technical infrastructure built on state-of-the-art technology with innovative concepts. By doing so, we’re diving deep into the characteristics of each asset and its processes in order to deliver efficient, but also easy to use systems for those specific assets and use cases. We’re building those solutions for a seamless transition, leveraging hybrid models to enable all market participants on the sell and on the buy side, as well as, still required and valuable service providers to integrate without friction.
This is especially true for the $15 Trillion private and real estate debt market. The $15 Trillion global debt securities market and the fund market are the asset classes with the highest friction. These are the assets that can be natively issued and managed on-chain, offering tremendous potential for significant transformation.
RIVA Markets was founded on four pillars:
Our Innovative Edge
We consider ourselves innovators, delivering technology that will transition the market to an efficient digitized industry. We’re motivated to deliver cutting-edge solutions that truly add value to the future of investments.
Leveraging the Potential of Blockchain and AI
Creating accessibility, transparency, efficiency and liquidity
The private and alternative capital markets are strongly growing and gaining increased allocation from all kinds of institutional and professional investors. But due to their nature as private and non-public assets, they’re lacking the transparency and the market infrastructure like public markets to trade them efficiently in a liquid market.
The blockchain technology with its data and transaction transparency, tokenization with its trusted peer-to-peer transaction capability, as well as AI with its powerful analytical capabilities, are the perfect technologies to completely revolutionize private and alternative markets. Full asset transparency can be created along the whole lifecycle, the efficiency to analyze those assets and to trade them can be improved by a magnitude and an accessible and liquid market can be established with less frictions.
Therefore, we’ve designed and developing the next generation capital markets infrastructure and a seamless end-to-end solution, leveraging blockchain and AI to transform this market for the digital and tokenized age.
From Traditional to Digital to Tokenised Asset Management
Creating Securities Innovation and New Opportunities
Investment product innovations are relatively rare. With ETF’s as the biggest innovation in the capital markets in the past century, we’re dealing with securities that haven’t really changed for ages. Existing underlying technologies are complex and outdated, resulting in high frictions and low efficiency. But we have now technologies at our hands, that can solve these problems and allow the creation of new and efficient forms of investment products.
Especially securitized debt like ABS, MBS, CDO’s and corporate bonds are highly attractive investment products due to its constant cashflows, secured yields and collateralization of the risk. The lack of technical innovation in the space also led to low to no innovation of investment products. But with those new technologies and innovative concepts, new investment products can be developed, as new composable investments, with special mechanisms in terms of trading and performance allocation, as well as derivative add-ons for better risk management.
At RIVA Markets we’re bringing those attractive products in new and innovative forms, creating natively digital and on-chain investment products. But we’re building them with a transitional approach, as we’re fully aware that the broader market is facing a transition that cannot be done overnight. That’s why we’re building new investment products merging TradFi with DeFi in a hybrid and transitional approach.
