Jacobi
With Jacobi, investment firms can integrate their proprietary investment models, code and data structures to reflect their unique portfolio construction and engagement processes
Founded in 2014, Jacobi Strategies is a San Francisco headquartered investment technology firm that is redefining how institutional investors design, manage, and communicate multi-asset portfolios.
Jacobi was established by a team of seasoned investment professionals who recognized the limitations of traditional, legacy and spreadsheet-dependent workflows.
At its core, Jacobi provides a cloud-based, open-architecture platform designed to act as the investment engine for multi-asset investment teams. Unlike rigid, off-the-shelf software, Jacobi’s technology is highly customizable, allowing asset managers, wealth managers, and pension funds to embed their own proprietary investment models, data structures, and capital market assumptions directly into the system. This "open-API-first" philosophy ensures that firms can scale their unique investment processes without losing their unique Investment IP.
The platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools spanning the entire investment lifecycle. Jacobi helps investment firms address key challenges across a wide range of use cases—from the management and scalability of model portfolios to the delivery of custom portfolio solutions, enhancing OCIO services and the centralization and unification of investment data. Additionally, the platform’s Storyboards and Report Designer transform complex quantitative analytics into interactive, branded visualizations, facilitating deeper engagement between investment teams and their clients.
By bridging the gap between front-office portfolio construction and end-client reporting, Jacobi eliminates the inefficiencies of disconnected systems. Today, the firm supports top-tier global investors representing over $7 trillion in assets under management. Through its blend of institutional-grade security, elastic cloud scalability, and a developer-friendly SDK, Jacobi empowers firms to future-proof their operations and deliver more personalized, data-driven investment outcomes in an increasingly complex market environment.
