Our take
The “family office” is a financial management team that takes care of investments, family finances and growing wealth. Traditionally, this has been off-limits to everyone except the super-rich. However, Arta Finance believes that it can leverage big data, AI, and fintech to bring these kinds of services to the masses.
Though there is no shortage of financial management and investment platforms out there, Arta is offering something a little different with its AI-managed portfolios. These stand out because of the use of user data and input to personalize the choices of stock purchases and other decisions.
Arta emerged from stealth in the fall of 2022 with a substantial funding round, and has since pursued speedy growth. In 2023 its digital family office platform opened to all qualified investors in the US. At the same time, it announced the significant achievement that members have trusted the platform to manage more than $100 million on their behalf.
