Althoughnot all barriers have been broken, but the spark of openness in the way start-ups and other financial institutionscan look forward to enter the market and shape it, is encouragingand definitely leading towards a positive future.Established in 2012, Invest Advise is one of the new-age companies to realize the huge potential and opportunity in the wealth management sector. Sachin Gupta, Founder and CEO, Invest Advise speaking on what lead him to incept Invest Advise said, “While working withvarious leading MNC financial institutions,we used to give recommendations to our clients about portfolio investments.We used to design a portfolio, where the revenue for the financial institution is higher, not taking into consideration the needs and requirements of the clients. So I thought, why we can’t start giving unbiased recommendations forclients portfolio based on their requirements and where client actually wants to invest as per their risk appetite.”The company started with a dream to createa differentiation in the industry, where it would create a place for itself, purely on the basis of knowledge, professionalism, transparency and ethics.
The company has held true to its identity so far and has strived to address the challenges put forward by the industry.
