EP 66: Wealth Management Gets An AI Make...

Arjun Singh
About this episode

In the latest episode of Couchonomics, Arjun was joined on the couch by Mehdi Fichtali, CEO & Founder of FinaMaze, MENA's first AI digital wealth manager.

Founded by a highly experienced team with decades of track record in capital markets and asset management, their hybrid human/machine teams are currently managing hundreds of portfolios. We spent a fair amount of the episode breaking down AI's role in wealth management and the need for a product like FinaMaze. 

In the episode, Arjun and Mehdi spoke about: 

  • Their general frustration with traditional investment options
  • The pitfalls of using trading platforms without proper training
  • The wealth management industry's failure to educate customers 
  • FinaMaze's process of tailoring micro-portfolios for individual clients 
  • The way they’ve partnered human decision-makers with AI
  • Challenges in B2C wealth management
  • What differentiates FinaMaze from other "robo-advisors"


This is a great episode for AI enthusiasts, those working in wealthtech or wealth management, and anyone trading in their personal capacity.
