“Through FinancialAnswers.io we aim to take the various capabilities at TIFIN to millions of investors and savers who rely on financial media to find their investments and advisors”, said Dr. Vinay Nair, Founder, Chairman and CEO at TIFIN. “We are delighted to have a strong and experienced team that can bring modern APIs, algorithmic machine learning capabilities and investment management know-how to these media platforms that have historically lacked such capabilities to transform their business and help add value to their users.”, he added.
“We are excited to bring FinancialAnswers.io to market, because financial media platforms have so much untapped opportunity to create unique and actionable intelligence beyond just the content on their surfaces,” said Ian Rosen, TIFIN partner and CEO of FinancialAnswers.io. “Financial media publishers have earned the attention and trust of their readers, but often the value of those readers accrues to other participants in the ecosystem. FinancialAnswers.io can change this dynamic to the benefit of both publishers and investors.”
