Our take
Registered Independent Advisors (RIAs) face hot competition in a sector where 60% of global assets are managed by institutional investors. Part of the latter's edge, however, comes from market leading analyst teams and tools – and Vise has developed an AI-driven automated platform to fill this shortfall for RIAs.
The platform uses AI to automate the building and management of client portfolios, so RIAs can focus on cultivating client relationships. It has been proven a popular prospect – Vise secured a valuation exceeding $1 billion at the close of its 2021 Series C funding round, and its managed assets have quadrupled in recent years.
Vise also leverages an interesting niche that could shore it up against the industry-disruption of robo-advisors like SoFi and Wealthfront. Whilst robo-advisors are good for smaller asset classes, they lack the sophistication to manage and grow complex asset portfolios. They also lack the human touch which remains extremely important to the vast majority of investors even in a tech-led investment landscape. Vise's product is therefore an astute middle-of-the-road compromise.
