Published

on

Arta Finance has received a Capital Markets Services license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, allowing it to provide services to Accredited Investors in Singapore.

SINGAPORE, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Arta Finance, a digital family office for Accredited Investors, today announced it has received approval to launch in Singapore and plans to open its platform for Singaporean residents and others investing through Singapore later this year. The launch in Singapore follows a significant expansion of Arta’s product offering and team of industry leaders, as well as its exit from stealth in 2022 with more than S$120 million (US$90 million) from Peak XV (formerly Sequoia Capital India & SEA), Ribbit, Coatue, and more than 140 tech and finance luminaries, including Eric Schmidt, Michael Miebach, and Nikesh Arora.

Singapore’s rise as a global capital of wealth makes it an ideal location for innovation and financial technology. Launching Arta in Singapore allows us to serve investors globally through this highly trusted financial hub,” said Caesar Sengupta, CEO and Co-Founder of Arta Finance. “At Arta, we aim to democratize access to high-powered financial strategies, ensuring the wealth management tools of the ultra-wealthy are available to a wider audience. We are excited to bring these financial superpowers to many more people through our launch in Singapore.”

Arta unlocks access, personalization, and connections that were, until now, available only to the ultra-wealthy through family offices and private banks. These institutions typically employ teams of professionals who use sophisticated financial strategies and tap into exclusive investment opportunities.

Through technology, Arta opens access to alternative assets, unlocks liquidity through lines of credit for eligible members, and harnesses AI to enable intelligent investing in public markets. Members are also plugged into Arta’s ecosystem of financial and lifestyle professionals who help them protect and enjoy their wealth. The company does this while eliminating the administrative overheads, conflicts of interest, clunky UIs, and eye-watering fees often faced by people looking for financial advice.

Additionally, Arta members can:

Access alternative investments like private equity. Arta opens up investment opportunities like private equity, venture capital, private debt, and real estate to people who would typically not have access. Arta is starting with funds from top-10 fund managers, like KKR and TPG, who have consistently delivered high returns over the last several decades. Members can start investments as low as S$10,000.Create their own personalized investing game plan using AI. Arta leverages the power of AI to create highly personalized, automated portfolios using publicly traded securities. Arta’s technology also enables direct indexing, with a personalization level that can be essential for investors looking to manage risk and heavy concentrations in employer stock. All while keeping fees low and transparent.Invest with confidence. Security is a key focus for the Arta team, who have applied multiple decades of experience building highly secure and robust products at companies like Google. Arta Finance runs on the Google Cloud Platform, utilizes the highest grades of public key encryption, and employs biometric and hardware-based authentication, ensuring members have a safe yet simple experience of using Arta on their phones and on the web. And Arta partners with BNY Pershing, the world’s largest custodian bank, to provide custody services.Align interests with performance-based fees. Arta starts with clear and transparent pricing so members know exactly how the fees work. Eligible Arta members can choose performance-based pricing to align Arta’s incentives even more tightly with their goals.

“Combining advanced financial strategies with AI is the type of visionary thinking that brings about real step-function change. I am so impressed with what Arta has built by applying advanced AI and ML to investing strategies and look forward to seeing this fantastic team create tremendous value for so many people,” said Eric Schmidt, Co-Founder of Schmidt Futures and Former CEO & Chairman of Google.

Arta, dual-headquartered in Singapore and the U.S., has made significant strides in the past year. As a U.S. SEC-registered investment advisor, the company has successfully launched and expanded its presence in the U.S. market. Its innovative approach to financial technology has garnered recognition, earning Arta the 2023 “Fintech Trailblazer” title by Nasdaq, a spot on Forbes’ Fintech 50 list, and the prestigious GGV Fintech Innovation Award.

Breaking Stereotypes: New 3Fun Survey Reveals Media’s Missteps in Polyamory Representation

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Despite growing visibility, only 11% of polyamorous individuals feel media portrayals align with their real-life experiences, according to a new survey by 3Fun, the leading dating app for open-minded singles and partners seeking like-minded connections. The survey, conducted among 1,312 3Fun users, highlights how media misrepresentation shapes public perceptions, reinforces stereotypes, and impacts user expectations on dating platforms like 3Fun.

Key Findings from the 3Fun Survey:

Limited Representation: Nearly 40% of respondents said they rarely see polyamorous relationships in mainstream media, while 17% reported never seeing them at all.Social Media Influence: Platforms like Instagram and TikTok are driving perceptions of polyamory for 40% of users, far surpassing traditional media like TV and film (10%).Accuracy Issues: Only 11% of respondents described media portrayals as “very accurate,” while 52% rated them as “rarely accurate” or “completely inaccurate.”Mixed Progress: While 39% believe portrayals have improved, 38% said they’ve noticed no change at all.Normalization vs. Stereotypes: Social media is a double-edged sword—40% think it normalizes polyamory, but 34% believe it reinforces harmful stereotypes.Global vs. Local Media: Over 21% noted global media tends to be more open-minded about polyamory than local outlets, which are often conservative or avoid the topic altogether.

“The data from this survey shows how far we still have to go in achieving authentic representation of polyamory in media and pop culture,” said Max Ma, Founder and CEO of 3Fun. “These portrayals don’t just shape public opinion—they directly influence how our users feel about their relationships and their ability to live openly. At 3Fun, we’re dedicated to creating a supportive community where everyone can explore their desires without fear of judgment.”

The Real Impact of Misrepresentation

Nearly half of respondents (47%) identified cultural and societal norms as the biggest barriers to societal acceptance of polyamory—more significant than concerns about media portrayal or visibility. However, respondents emphasized that better representation would lead to:

Easier conversations about polyamory (32%)Improved understanding within their social circles (21%)

Gigi Engle, certified sex and relationship psychotherapist and 3Fun’s resident intimacy expert, echoed this sentiment: “Representation matters. Media has the power to normalize relationships and dismantle stereotypes, but only when done thoughtfully. This survey shows a clear need for creators to approach polyamory with authenticity and care.”

Creating a World Where Love Knows No Limits

The findings highlight the role platforms like 3Fun play in bridging the gap between perception and reality. With over 10 million downloads and 3 million verified active users worldwide, 3Fun provides a safe, inclusive space for polyamorous individuals and couples to connect, explore, and thrive.
