Investing.com -- Webull is launching a private markets solution that will give eligible accredited investors access to late-stage private companies through special purpose vehicles on its platform, Investing.com has learned.

The online investment platform is partnering with Monark Markets to offer SPVs sponsored by Monark Capital Management, using Monark's private markets infrastructure to source and structure the investments.

Each SPV will provide focused exposure to a single late-stage private company, with subscription and funding handled directly through the Webull platform.

The launch marks Webull's first move into private markets and is said to be structured around investor demand.

According to information seen by Investing.com, accredited investors on the platform will be able to indicate interest in specific private companies, with those signals informing Monark's sourcing decisions. When sufficient interest is identified, an SPV is established, and the opportunity is made available. Each vehicle is limited to no more than 99 eligible investors.

Anthony Denier, Group President and U.S. CEO of Webull, noted that private markets have become an increasingly important part of how companies create value, yet access has been limited to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.

"This launch reflects our continued effort to broaden access for eligible investors by connecting them with private market opportunities in a structured way, directly within the Webull platform," he said.

Ben Haber, CEO of Monark Markets, described the partnership as advancing the “convergence of private markets and traditional brokerage.”

The initiative arrives as demand among retail investors grows for exposure to companies in their high-growth phases before public listing.

Webull is expected to roll out SPVs to all accredited investors who meet the platform's eligibility requirements soon.
