Founded in 2021 and based in Calgary, OneVest offers an “all-in-one” wealth management platform to companies, enabling them to expand their product capabilities, enhance distribution, and automate and streamline front, middle and back office operations.
It offers “intuitive” investor and advisor interfaces, data aggregation functionalities, book of record, and a portfolio management engine. With its solution, OneVest claims banks and financial institutions can offer a customised wealth services offering “in weeks, not years”.
Amar Ahluwalia, co-founder and CEO of OneVest, says the platform has “the ability to implement a modern service with all the required compliance requirements built in”.
OneVest plans on deploying the funding towards accelerating its growth, expanding into the US market, and for corporate purposes including expanding its team across multiple departments such as enterprise sales, business operations, product, and engineering.
