Purpose-built for wealth management, Arta AI integrates vetted data, real-time market pricing, and CIO research, allowing advisors to instantly run portfolio analyses, Monte Carlo simulations, and stress tests – all through an intuitive conversational interface. Bank of Singapore Empowers Family Offices Among early adopters, Bank of Singapore – the private banking arm of OCBC – is deploying Arta AI to strengthen its support for external asset managers (EAMs) and family offices. According to Leong Guan Lim, Global Head of Financial Intermediaries, Family Office, and Wealth Advisory, the technology helps clients personalize portfolio management, automate research, and enhance their market intelligence. «At Bank of Singapore, we see financial intermediaries as key partners in the evolution of private wealth management,» said Lim. «Arta stands out because it is purpose-built for wealth and investing, not repurposed from generic AI.» Hong Leong Bank Boosts Wealth Capabilities For Hong Leong Bank (HLB), the collaboration with Arta AI is central to its strategy of scaling its wealth business through innovation. «At HLB, our priority is to empower our Relationship Managers with the right insights to better serve our clients,» said Jeffrey Yap, Managing Director and Regional Head of Wealth Management. «This initiative builds on our organization-wide AI adoption, making every client interaction more consistent, personalized, and aligned with individual risk appetites.» Redefining Digital Wealth Infrastructure Headquartered in the US and Singapore, Arta combines AI technology, human financial expertise, and experience design to modernize wealth management. Its Wealth-as-a-Service infrastructure enables banks to launch modern investing platforms within months, backed by explainability, security, and compliance.
