Our take

The investment landscape is evolving fast, and financial advisors don’t just need to understand it to stay competitive: they need to master it. SIMON Markets is a platform aimed to help them do just that. It works principally as a marketplace of risk-managed alternative investment opportunities like structured investments, annuities and progressive alternatives. On top of that, SIMON users can learn about, build, and manage the more complex portfolios they subsequently build on behalf of their clients.

The tricky thing for the SIMON team is that this platform, too, will need to keep abreast of the rapidly developing alternative investment opportunities market. Since officially spinning out from Goldman Sachs in 2018, the available investment opportunities on SIMON have grown substantially - but it’ll need to remain sharp.

With over $5T+ in assets managed on the platform, however, and upwards of 100,000 users, SIMON Markets is making impressive headway. With plans to expand out, both geographically and in terms of the portfolio analytics the platform offers, SIMON is ambitious - and has the support to back it up.
