Along the way, we discussed how major players of the niche interact with each other, and what innovative FinTech products and services are being launched in the market. Q: Please tell us more about your background. How are you related to the wealth-management industry? According to your observation, what trends have been prevailing in the wealth management niche in the past few years?

What I was finding was very interesting, and we did some consulting with a group that publishes a Bitcoin site. We became very interested in Bitcoin, blockchain, and in what was happening with algorithms in high-frequency trading. We were also observing growing trends in peer-to-peer and marketplace lending. Likewise, we were watching the robo-advisors trend occur and also observed how artificial intelligence was impacting the entire FinTech sector. We tried to find a single website in the United States that would cover all these topics, and we could not. We discovered a site in the UK and we found lots of sector-specific sites but none that covered the US the way we envisioned it should...." Read Full Interview at Wealth.insart.com
