28 November 2023 – Airo has officially marked its entry into Malaysia’s fintech arena, proudly positioning itself as the country’s first actively managed digital investment platform and robo-advisor. Recognizing the financial challenges faced by almost 73% of Malaysians aged 18 to 40, Airo aims to provide a solution by offering personalised investment strategies with a focus on mitigating risks in severe market corrections.
Airo distinguishes itself through its advanced technology, strategically incorporating hedging instruments, including inverse exchange traded funds (ETFs), to navigate the impact of market fluctuations effectively. The platform’s proactive approach involves actively managing investment portfolios, allowing for direct adjustments based on prevailing market conditions through a dynamic asset allocation strategy.
The rising debt concerns among Malaysians, attributed to financial constraints and inflation, further underscore the need for innovative financial solutions. Airo is poised to guide individuals from all walks of life toward fiscal security by leveraging its algorithm-driven investment engine. This engine monitors and tracks investment opportunities aligned with users’ specific requirements, tailoring strategies to address individual financial goals.
Securing a Digital Investment Manager (DIM) license from the Securities Commission of Malaysia, Airo combines technological prowess with hands-on experience to usher in a new era of accessible and personalised financial solutions for Malaysians. The platform’s commitment is particularly evident in its active investment strategy, ensuring adaptability to the ever-changing global economic landscape.
William Yii, Chief Investment Officer at CP Global Fintech Solutions, the entity behind Airo, emphasizes the commitment to delivering long-term solutions. Yii states, “We use a systematic global macro system to harness the flexibility and opportunities that stem from an active investment strategy — all the better to meet the needs of our users directly.”
To encourage Malaysians to embark on their investment journey, Airo has launched the “Easy Invest, Easy Reward” promotion campaign, running from November 27 to December 11, 2023. The campaign offers users depositing a minimum of RM300 to any Airo portfolio a Grab voucher worth RM10. Open to both new and existing users, the initiative aims to incentivize individuals to kickstart their investment journey and reap additional benefits.
As Airo steps into the fintech spotlight, it aims to reshape the financial landscape, providing Malaysians with the tools and guidance needed to achieve their wealth goals in an ever-evolving economic environment. – ref: The Edge
