Hong Kong’s leading robo advisory solution provider AQUMON was incubated at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

The firm has tie-ups with over 60 financial institutions including CMB Wing Lung Bank, ChinaAMC, and Guangzhou Rural Commercial Bank.

Early in 2020, AQUMON joined forces with a Hong Kong-based insurer to digitise its investment-linked offering.

The competition in the Asian robo-advisory space has intensified recently with the foray of banks like OCBC and DBS.

In 2018, OCBC launched its robo-investment service OCBC RoboInvest.

Besides, DBS launched hybrid human-robo investment offering digiportfolio for retail investors a year earlier.

Meanwhile, Singaporean robo advisory firm Smartly recently stopped operations.
