Torus Private Wealth CEO Sumita Pillai said: “Wealth origination in emerging businesses and startup ecosystems has superseded traditional investment products.

Torus plans to drive its growth by utilising in-house product manufacturing capabilities and an open architecture platform to create a model that combines deep insight and a domain technology.
The firm will also have a Business Owners Advisory (BOA) segment that will cater to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME).
Pillai further said: “We are observing a paradigm shift in the wealth management industry with the emergence of the new generation of digital investors. Torus Private Wealth is attempting to re-shape how advice and investment products are being delivered through the use of new technologies.”
The launch of Torus comes on the close heels of CFH’s joint venture (JV) partnership with wealth tech startup Orowealth to launch a digital-first mutual fund business.
The JV, which will be known as Torus Oro Asset Management Company, marks the company’s entry into the mutual fund space.
