Founded by ex-Google executives and jointly headquartered in the US and Singapore, Arta Finance is a digital wealth platform that enables a much larger cohort of people to access the financial tools and products of the ultra-wealthy, to help address the growing wealth gap between the world’s wealthiest individuals (the 0.1%) and the rest of the population.

Arta Finance does this by providing greater access to ‘financial superpowers’ - investment opportunities and financial strategies typically only available to the ultra-wealthy via family offices and private banks - but with a more intuitive user experience and at an approachable cost. Arta creates a personalized investment strategy for each of its members, applying the latest in artificial intelligence, technology infrastructure, and customized support to help members build their financial futures.

EDBI, the strategic investment arm of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and a division under SG Growth Capital, has joined Arta Finance’s list of growing global investors, which includes Peak XV, Ribbit Capital, and Coatue. This investment not only supports Arta Finance in developing its innovative platform and scaling its growth but also helps catalyse a venture-building environment led by experienced founders, further strengthening the local innovation ecosystem.

Arta Finance is currently operating in the US and is preparing to expand internationally through Singapore later this year.

Singapore-based Caesar Sengupta, CEO of Arta Finance, stated: "We are incredibly grateful for the support from EDB, who have been with us right from the start. Their guidance has been instrumental in helping us bring Arta’s offering to life. We are excited to welcome EDBI as an investor in Arta, further solidifying our vision to scale our platform globally. Together, we are committed to creating a wealth management platform that sets new standards in the industry."

“Arta’s decision to establish its global headquarters and develop an AI-enabled fintech platform in Singapore underscores the country’s robust innovation ecosystem and advanced digital infrastructure, making it a prime destination for global founders to scale their businesses. The company is a valuable addition to our ecosystem and is set to create exciting job opportunities.", said Paul Ng, CEO of EDBI.

Over the past 18 months, Arta’s member base in the US has grown rapidly, from first-time investors to those with deep investing experience.
