James Waldinger, CEO of FinTech Collective portfolio company Artivest, was interviewed by The Institute for Innovation Development, in a new interview series inviting top innovation specialists and innovative fintech companies from around the world. This is a great piece about the wealth management space for HNW's individuals in general, how Artivest has developed into a full stack - full service investment platform and what innovation lies ahead.
As the demand for alternatives has expanded to the individual high-net-worth (HNW) market, the processes and infrastructure in place for most fund managers fall short. Many HNW individuals and advisors have traditionally avoided alternative offerings given the logistical obstacles in making an investment, such as the cumbersome compliance, the error-prone paperwork, the access to funds and the high minimums. The Artivest platform offers a single solution to all of these concerns for both individuals and their advisors. By tapping into technological efficiencies, Artivest aims to offer access to these types of products while keeping both minimums and fees competitive.
