Purpose of Funding for Vested Finance

With the latest capital, the California-headquartered company plans to expand the team across various operations. It will also launch new cross-border products to expand its product offerings.

What the founder has to say

“Today, the location where we are born determines the kind of wealth creation opportunities we get access to, which is unfair. Most of our portfolios lack global diversification. We want to enable investors across the globe to access global wealth creation opportunities in an easy and cost-effective manner. The growth that we have seen over the years is testimony to the interest of Indian investors in investing in the US markets. We want to use the funds to scale our team globally and expand our product suite to launch complementary products in the cross-border space while continuing to grow the core US investing user base,” said Viram Shah, co-founder and CEO of Vested Finance.

What the investor has to say

Viram and his team are committed to their mission of making diverse markets accessible to Indian investors. Moreover, they have a strong culture and have shown their ability to be creative on the strategy side and execute with discipline. Vested is an integral part of Ayon’s plan to provide a diversified suite of products for the large and growing Indian investor community to preserve and build their wealth.”
