Artivest’s Online Platform Puts Private Funds Within Reach of Average Investors

Artivest’s Online Platform Puts Private Funds Within Reach of Average Investors
Artivest_hi_res_FS2014

This post is part of our live coverage of FinovateSpring 2014.

Our next presenter is Artivest, presenting its online investing platform and Artivest Access funds.
“Artivest’s platform streamlines the process of investing in a private investment fund. Our online platform features a series of Artivest Access funds, which allow our members to invest in leading private funds with low minimums and transparent reasonable fees.
The Artivest team conducts extensive selection and due diligence processes, presenting only those funds that we believe to be truly exceptional. While the traditional process for investing in a private fund required days of travel and mountains of documents, the Artivest platform allows investors to access, evaluate and invest in a fund entirely online.
Once an investor has decided to commit to a particular fund, our online investment flow guides them through a seamless submission process. What’s more, we help fund managers engage more efficiently and effectively with sophisticated investors in our online community.”

Presenting: James Waldinger (CEO) and David Levine (CIO)
