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.
TIFIN provides a fintech platform that uses data science and artificial intelligence to provide personalized investment experiences. 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. The company has experienced remarkable growth, forged strategic partnerships and successfully secured funding. It is now pursuing international expansion, beginning in India.
