By GlobalDataHong 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.
