Founded in 2015, WealthKernel is a supplier of investment infrastructure for companies looking to offer digital investment services, whether as stand-alone or in addition to their present offering.
We are vertically integrated and are a one-stop-shop provider of a wide range of services; such as client onboarding, trading, and custody. Our infrastructure is optimized for the delivery of investment and wealth-management services to non-traditional clients: those considered not commercial to service.
WealthKernel currently custodies millions of pounds for thousands of retail clients in the UK/Europe. We have offices in London and Nottingham and are backed by great investors ETFS Capital, LCIF, and Seedcamp. WealthKernel is independently audited by Chartered Accountants Lambert Chapman LLP.
"We often describe what we do as the plumbing for wealth management companies. The current industry is built on leaky legacy pipes and that leakage directly impacts the savings and pensions of millions of people, particularly those with smaller sums of money... Our mission is to enable the change that makes financial services and investing better for everyday people.“
- Karan Shanmugarajah, WealthKernel CEO
