In a move that’s sending ripples through the financial seas, Lunate, an avant-garde alternative investment manager, and BNY Mellon, a titan in wealth management technology, declared their alliance on Tuesday. They are pouring a colossal $300 million into Alpheya, a nascent Middle East and North Africa (MENA)-focused wealth management tech titan. This investment marks a significant escalation in the race to dominate the regional financial technology landscape.

BNY Mellon, already holding a stake in the Abu Dhabi Global Market’s shining star, Alpheya, sees this move as a strategic expansion. With Lunate’s backing, Alpheya is set to embark on its voyage to serve clients in 2024. Akash Shah, BNY Mellon’s chief growth officer, envisions Alpheya as a master key unlocking the doors to advanced digital portfolio management, connecting the local and global financial currents, and employing top-tier data management.
