«There has never been a more disruptive time in the financial services industry, particularly in APAC, and digital wealth management is no exception. With client demographics changing rapidly, and new market players emerging, there is now a different expectation as to how and where wealth management services should be offered,» Zylstra said in the announcement.
Asia is additiv’s second-largest market after Europe and the wealth management fintech's APAC division has seen a period of rapid growth over the past year, Michael Stemmle, CEO and dounder of additiv, said.
