Our take
Increases in the range of apps available for investors of any experience level is resulting in wealth and asset managers facing rising demands for personalized financial experiences. Investors seek tools that use data analytics to facilitate these personalized insights, but this is difficult to provide without the right technology and data science.

The platform offers investment management advice and tools to asset managers, allowing them to transform their clients' businesses to be more efficient, profitable and future-proof.
With so many investment platforms on the market, TIFIN has made a smart decision by pulling together innovative tools into a wealth management platform, as opposed to starting a new investment platform itself.
