NEW YORK and SINGAPORE, Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bridgewise, the financial investment intelligence platform for global securities, announced today a strategic partnership with Rakuten Securities Inc. (‘Rakuten Securities”) to launch its AI-powered financial investment analysis solutions for its customers. From spring 2025, this partnership will include the provision of Bridgewise’s AI-powered investment intelligence services to over 11 million Rakuten Securities customers, with further innovative features set to be rolled out later in the year.

Since its latest $21-million funding, backed by global investors such as SIX Group, Group 11, L4 Venture Builder and other global financial institutions, Bridgewise has been rapidly developing its product offerings and market expansions, with Asia Pacific as a key growth region. 

The strategic partnership with Rakuten Securities for the Japan market marks the shared values between both companies in providing relevant, cutting-edge innovations for investors. Bridgewise was founded on the vision to enable financial institutions and trading platforms empower investors around the globe to make informed decisions in any language and any market. Currently, investment analysis tends to cover only 20% of global stocks and concentrated on a select group of stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) across three stock exchanges. This leaves a significant amount of unrealized investment potential for many retail investors and advisors. The Bridgewise platform analyzes fundamental data and rating as well as investment recommendations on over 90% of global equities and funds, including ETFs, stocks, and mutual funds. Since its founding in 2019, Bridgewise is now available in more than 25 languages and across 15 markets and has a coverage of more than 50,000 global financial instruments.

Kelvin Phua, General Manager of Bridgewise APAC, says, “We are extremely pleased to mark our second milestone in Japan with this partnership with Rakuten Securities. As a financial brokerage platform known for its dedication to provide innovative solutions that cater to its customers’ financial well-being, we are proud to partner with Rakuten Securities and to present our AI-powered financial analysis to its customers. We look forward to empowering more Japanese investors make informed decisions across a more diverse and increasingly-global investment landscape.”

Bridgewise’s partnership with Rakuten Securities is its second development in the Japan market within the last 12 months, following the establishment of the Singapore-based Asia Pacific team. This announcement underscores Bridgewise’s focus on Asia Pacific as a strategic priority, with its established presence in the United Arab Emirates, as well as its sights set on rapid growth in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.  

In addition to market expansion, Bridgewise has also been rolling out new products and innovations to continually serve the evolving needs of institutional and retail investors around the world. Some of its recent product offerings and innovations include:

Bridgewise Bridget™, the world’s first conversational AI investment tool that offers investment insights, including specific buy/sell recommendations for stocks. BRIDGET™ also addresses several key AI chatbot-related drawbacks, such as a lack of finance-focused expertise and hallucinations. As one of the world’s few financial investment intelligence platforms focused on serving the institutional investment sector, Bridgewise’s  BRIDGET™ is a game-changer for financial institutions looking to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving sector, and to empower their analysts and investors to interact with data in a more intuitive and insightful manner.
