Overview
Passthrough provides investor onboarding, digital subscription, KYC and AML, tax-form collection, and closing-workflow technology for private funds, managers, administrators, law firms, and investors. Its platform is designed to replace repetitive documents and manual review with structured data and reusable workflows.
The company addresses an important scaling constraint in private-market distribution. A fund cannot efficiently reach a broader investor base if every subscription requires extensive re-entry, email coordination, and document checking. Passthrough is now part of iCapital but remains an active market-facing platform used by more than 2,000 funds. It fits Tier III because its specialist identity and product remain distinct, although its scope is narrower than fund accounting or portfolio-management systems. Within The Economy Wiki, the institution is connected to the Private Capital Markets Infrastructure market category.
