Jacobi
Headquartered in San Francisco, the company is led by a team of investment professionals and world-class engineers
Jacobi has its roots in institutional portfolio management, as it was founded to help sophisticated investment teams industrialise and connect their multi-asset investment processes.
While many incumbent technologies are rigid and impose a way of working on the investment teams they serve, Jacobi’s philosophy is to help investment groups scale their own processes, models, tools, and visualisations. With an open architecture mindset, Jacobi helps firms improve their entire investment and engagement machine.
Today, the technology is used by some of the world’s leading investment groups. The company has also achieved recognition with several awards, including “WealthTech and InvestmentTech of the Year” at the Moneyage Wealth and Asset Management Awards 2023, “Most Innovative Third-party Technology Vendor” at the American Financial Technology Awards 2023 and Best Data Visualisation Provider at the Data Management Insights Awards Europe 2023.
