Our take
Aixigo’s was founded during the late 90s stock market boom as a way to educate new investors. The company’s foundations stem from Aachen University research into investor “ambiguity aversion”, eventually becoming a spin-off project from the university. Since then, Aixigo has steadily grown as a digitalisation solution for the wealth management industry.
Aixigo’s products span advising, analysing, managing and planning for wealth management clients. Most interestingly, its aixigo:BLOXX solution kits effectively bundle a range of fintech tools and analysis products that are tailored to the needs of each wealth management customer.
The company has evolved over its 25-year life and kept up with fintech software trends. Its focus at present is on digitising wealth management businesses whilst researching and developing new innovative products for the sector. An acquisition by Amundi in 2024 speaks volumes to Aixigo’s steady success. It has more than a trillion euros under management and clients include leading European financial institutions.
