Fintech start-up Maqro, co-founded by Conrad Song, has released a hybrid robo-advice service in Australia, set to compete against traditional financial institutions. The robo device brings together the best of both worlds in terms of investing, for both the investor and advisers. It allows investors access to systematic algorithmic investment strategies online, all underpinned by real advice for a financial adviser.
The robo-device has closed the gap between those seeking individualised financial advice, and those limited by funds. It allows advisers to white-label the SaaS model and scale it according to their business needs. Robo-advice is leading the way as one of the most innovative AI applications today.
Maqro has raised $500, 000 to date and aims to raise an additional $2.2 million to expand its offerings.
About Maqro
A loss of faith in existing adviser services, combined with the growing popularity of self-serve digital solutions has heralded a boom in online investment advice.
Maqro is a startup on a mission to provide Australian investors with technology-driven solutions destined to give traditional financial institutions a run for their money.

Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
