Highlights

  • Maqro is adding the human back into online investing, offering a more personalised service and breaking down the barriers to the everyday investor.
  • As the first Australian model offering a white labelled service to all advisory firms, Maqro is tipped to exceed $1 trillion by 2020.
  • Maqro is working towards $2.2m Series B round of funding to fund technology development, marketing and brand awareness prior to the release of the platform.

Maqro is the first Australian hybrid wealth advisory platform providing a middle ground option to those investors wishing to enter the market. The stockbroking industry currently services two ends of the market, from the affluent investors who can afford the service of key wealth advisors and stockbrokers, to the lower end serviced by robo advisors. Maqro is determined to eliminate the downfalls of robo advisors that lack the human element required to make key financials decisions.

Maqro is adding the human back into online investing, offering a more personalised service and breaking down the barriers to the everyday investor. Maqro allows investors to access the insight and knowledge of professional advisors, without paying the high fees of high-end stockbrokers. This helps the everyday investor to minimise their investment risk by piggybacking on the knowledge of professional advisors.

This is the first time an Australian company has adopted this model and Maqro is the first to build a platform that can be used as a white labelled model by all advisory firms. This ability has tipped the platform to exceed $1 trillion by 2020.

Maqro is working towards $2.2M Series B round of funding to fund technology development, marketing and brand awareness prior to the release of the platform.

The Managing Partner of Magnetic Alliance Capital sees the nation’s richest investment opportunities hiding in plain sight: inside thousands of unglamorous, profitable, but operationally sluggish mid-market businesses. Speaking on Wholesale Investor’s […]

The asset class where the market has no vote

Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. 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 […]
