AQUATY Partners with Rockfish Capital to Enable Investments in Premier U.S. Real Estate Deals
Private market specialist AQUATY has partnered with Rockfish Capital to simplify real estate investment in the United States and to make them more accessible and investable for individuals and institutions. Despite global volatility – from interest rate swings to geopolitical tensions – the U.S. remains a stable and attractive environment for real estate investment. Through the collaboration, German investors and family offices now have direct access to these promising opportunities – without the legal and regulatory hurdles traditionally involved.
Sven Kueenle, Founder and CEO of Rockfish Capital, explained: “Investing in the U.S. real estate market as a non-U.S. citizen isn’t easy – but the potential is immense. Backed by years of experience managing real estate portfolios in Europe, we want to change that. AQUATY is exactly the right partner to help us do it.”
The most recent project focused on a 192-unit apartment community located in one of Houston’s most dynamic submarkets. Since acquisition, the property has already begun outperforming projections with accelerated stabilization and early cash flow – underscoring the strength of Rockfish Capital’s disciplined, value-add strategy. Building on this momentum, the company is currently actively reviewing multiple opportunities in the 150 to 400 unit range and will soon release details of its next Texas acquisition.
By leveraging AQUATY’s “Securitization as a Service” approach, Rockfish Capital can structure and manage real estate assets with the same transparency and efficiency as publicly traded securities. The result is a standardized, legally compliant investment framework that opens new doors for international capital.
In addition to real estate, AQUATY’s platform supports a wide range of asset classes – including private equity, venture capital, infrastructure, and art. It converts these into regulated, tradable ISIN securities, automates the end-to-end securities process, and ensures compliant integration into established distribution channels such as private banks and asset managers.
Alexander Grimm, Managing Director at AQUATY, added: “Rockfish Capital’s mission is to unlock pathways to wealth through real estate. At AQUATY, we envision a future where every asset is digital – and every asset manager has the tools to turn investment ideas into tradable securities. Our technology bridges the gap between alternative assets and capital markets and reduces operational friction. Together, we make investing in high-quality private market assets simple, secure, and accessible.”
