We are determined to eliminate the many barriers to entry and finally bridge the gap between the retail and institutional investor, leveling the playing field for mum and dads, millennials, Gen Y and retirees. Join the effort to revolutionalise the medieval practices of our current financial industry.
Why we do it
The financial services industry has experienced rapid progress towards technological solutions over the last several years. New startups have made aggressive disruption to the wealth management industry, targeting the weaknesses of traditional advisory business models with low fees, transparent services and scalable business models.
