IGM Financial, a subsidiary of financial services group Power Financial Corporation, led a $50m series F round for US-based digital wealth manager Personal Capital yesterday.
The round included participation from unnamed investors and closed at a higher valuation than its last funding, in which it secured $40m in an extension to its series E round that was led by IGM, in August 2017.
Founded in 2009, Personal Capital has developed online wealth management software that aggregates all of a user’s external financial accounts into a single place, providing management and financial planning tools as well as advice from registered financial experts.
The company currently has more than 2 million users on its platform and manages approximately $8.5bn in assets. The new funding will be used to bolster its platform and support additional partnerships.
The series E extension included unnamed existing investors and was provided at an increased valuation from the first two tranches, in which IGM invested $50m at a $500m valuation in 2016 while committing to provide a further $25m the following year.
Financial services firms USAA and BBVA contributed to Personal Capital’s $50m series D round in 2014, investing alongside Corsair Capital, Institutional Venture Partners, Venrock and Crosslink Capital, with BBVA participating through its now shuttered corporate venturing unit, BBVA Ventures.
The series D round valued Personal Capital at about $250m and added to $52m the company had already raised through earlier rounds. Blackrock and Correlation Ventures are among its existing investors.
