Background
We operate in an industry in which over $120 Trillion is invested annually on behalf pension / endowment / sovereign funds, and private investors / family offices. And yet, the lack of data intelligence and insight results in much of that money being invested based purely on historic track record, with little transparency into performance acumen and / or risk management. This is our challenge and our purpose: to help investors make better investments. And in doing so, we aim to provide the single network on which trusted professionals will engage, promote, and manage their business. In short, we want to help the world invest better. And we need you.
