Cinven partners with Objectway's Founder and Management for Business Expansion
Cinven Investments Strengthen Objectway's Position in Wealth Management Tech Sector
Cinven, an international private equity firm, has made a majority investment in Objectway, a leading digital end-to-end "Solution-as-a-Service" provider for wealth managers, banks, and asset managers. This investment aims to expand Objectway's market leadership in the growing digital technology sector for wealth management.
Strategic Benefits
The partnership with Cinven brings robust financial and strategic resources to Objectway, enabling continued investment in cutting-edge technology and innovation for its modular, front-to-back office platform delivered via scalable cloud infrastructure. Luigi Marciano, Objectway's founder and CEO, will remain a significant shareholder and continue as CEO and Chair, ensuring continuity and strengthening management's ability to execute its long-term growth strategy in partnership with Cinven.
Cinven's investment is positioned as a key part of its new mid-market strategy, leveraging Objectway's resilient and scalable business model and long-term blue-chip client relationships to capture market share in a structurally growing market. The partnership supports Objectway’s ambition to digitize the wealth management ecosystem by replacing fragmented legacy systems with integrated end-to-end solutions that enhance efficiency and client service across geographies and investor types.
Financial Benefits
Although specific financial terms are undisclosed, Cinven’s majority control implies a substantial capital injection to fund both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, accelerating Objectway’s growth trajectory. The wealth management industry’s increasing demand for digital technology and regulatory complexity is driving spending on outsourced tech and tech-enabled services, underpinning Objectway’s attractive growth profile.
The investment provides Objectway with financial stability and flexibility to innovate and scale globally, supporting its presence in over 16 countries and serving more than 250 financial institutions. This backing aims to expand Objectway’s market leadership in the growing digital “Solution-as-a-Service” sector for wealth managers, banks, and asset managers.

Cinven received M&A advice from Jefferies, legal advice from Freshfields, financial advice from PwC, technology and operations advice from Alix Partners, commercial advice from Oliver Wyman, and tax and structuring advice from Deloitte. PwC advised on tax and legal due diligence for Objectway, and Giovannelli Associati acted as the legal advisor, with Russo De Rosa Associati serving as the tax advisor.
Outlook
The investment represents the first investment from Cinven’s new mid-market strategy and is seen as a strong endorsement of Objectway’s business model, leadership team, and long-term growth plan. With this strategic and financial backing, Objectway is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for modern technology solutions in the wealth management ecosystem.
