Sphere: How can asset managers utilize your platform?
Stefan Klauser: Asset managers can efficiently create and personalize new strategies, continuously optimize existing and new portfolios based on information from markets and alternative sources.
Sphere: What technologies do you use?
Stefan Klauser: We leverage technologies developed by pioneers in artificial intelligence. Personalization allows selection from a wide array of elements, such as volatility targets, weighting of various assets, turnover rates, and ESG factors, along with individual recommendations down to the level of individual securities.
Through the "Product Launch Pad," AI-optimized portfolios can be transformed into tradable investment products. Users also have the option to delegate the asset management mandate and ensure a more sophisticated management of their portfolios. This allows them to focus on specializations, satellite portfolios, or their own customer acquisition. Our platform can also be used for the implementation of proprietary or white-label investment products.
Sphere: Who is your target audience?
Stefan Klauser: Our products are currently used by various entities: asset managers, funds, family offices, financial advisors, and brokers in key regions such as Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the USA. Many boutique asset management firms are among our customers. They use the features of the AI platform not only in creating personalized portfolios but also in analyzing and responding to market trends.
