Dezerv targets India's affluent and high net worth individuals with customised investment solutions across proprietary equities, fixed income, and alternative assets.
Wealth management startup Dezerv has raised Rs 265 crore in a funding round led by Premji Invest, with participation from existing investors Elevation Capital, Matrix Partners India (now known as Z47) and Accel.
The platform claims to handle over Rs 7,000 crore in client assets and will use the fresh capital to boost its technology platform and hiring investment specialists for its next growth phase.
"India is witnessing an unprecedented rise in wealth creation...However, this segment remains severely underserved by traditional wealth managers and retail banks and is hampered by misselling and conflicts of interest," the company said in a statement.
