Our take
The global asset management sector faces many operational inefficiencies. Attempting to revolutionise this space with its AI-powered investment accounting platform is FundGuard. Hosting a multitude of capabilities, the platform streamlines accounting workflows, supporting asset managers with a new wave of solutions.
Said to be the industry's first fully cloud-native investment accounting platform, the product offers an all-encompassing suite of tools. One of the highlights is that the platform allows data that might usually be stored over multiple platforms to be kept in one cohesive store - providing a single source of truth across all systems
An impressive Series C funding instalment in 2024 will allow FundGard to continue product innovation and grow its customer base. Projections for the company look positive, and it certainly has the potential to disrupt investment management if it can continue to deliver what the industry needs.
