- Actively raising $200m+ with $730m in signed contracts on our broker dealer primary platform through Rialto Markets’ infrastructure

- Winner of the highly prestigious Aite Group 2020 Impact Innovation Award which recognizes leading technology companies in financial markets

our market
Major Market Growth
The private markets continue to grow rapidly, with private equity accounting for most global managed assets at $7 trillion, indicating that investors are increasingly interested in private companies.
Forbes forecasts global PE assets under management will reach $30 trillion by 2030.
At the same time, private companies are largely choosing to stay private instead of raising money via Initial Public Offerings. In 2020, securities offered through Regulation D and Regulation A+ offerings accounted for $1.4 trillion – nearly a third of all capital raised by private companies under SEC regulations (source: Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation).
business model
Rialto Markets' multiple revenue streams
We earn our revenue through success fees paid by an issuer in Primary Markets. In Secondary Markets we earn one-time setup fees as well as recurring annual maintenance fees paid by issuers to be on-boarded to our ATS. Additionally, we earn fees from commissions paid by investors trading on our ATS in the secondary market. Rialto’s White Label earns revenue from licensing fees paid by market participants for use of our ATS and commissions paid by investors who participate through market participants.
Competitive Advantages
Rialto’s Primary Markets’ division allows issuers:
- to create a standalone website and link it to their digital presence, as opposed to onboarding to a crowdfunding portal and competing for eyeballs alongside other issues that may not be related or aligned with that issuer’s business
- to capture and own data on the standalone website to enable an issuer to access the success of its digital marketing plan
Our Secondary Markets division provides issuers with direct access to retail investors without the need for an intermediary, resulting in lower transactional costs. Our platform was designed to scale across a large number of retail investors and issuers, to offer competitive rates to issuers onboarded to our ATS, and to provide a venue for issuers’ clients to monetize their investments seamlessly using Rialto’s proprietary infrastructure.
Rialto’s White Label division gives marketplaces, crowdfunding portals, and other market participants access into the Rialto ATS while still maintaining their own digital brand.
