FundBenchmark is the modern research platform for analyzing billion-dollar investment funds — not stocks or ETFs. We serve wealth managers, family offices, and sovereign funds in high-growth markets underserved by legacy tools.
The fund research market is dominated by legacy players charging enterprise prices for clunky interfaces and slow data.
FE Analytics, Morningstar Direct, and Refinitiv charge £2,000–£10,000+ per year. Prohibitive for small IFA firms.
Interfaces built in the 2000s. Slow load times. Complex navigation. No mobile support. Painful to use daily.
Pure data dumps with no context. Advisers spend hours researching "why did this fund move?" with no help.
Beautiful design. Instant comparisons. AI-powered explanations. Fair pricing.
Side-by-side analysis of performance, holdings, sectors, and risk metrics
Build custom portfolios and compare them against real funds
Contextual explanations of why fund performance moved
Enriched data on underlying positions with news and fundamentals
While UK and US are saturated with legacy tools, emerging wealth hubs lack modern fund research platforms.
Start where competition is lowest and willingness to pay is highest. Scale into mature markets with proven product.
Premium pricing for underserved markets. Family offices and sovereign funds expect to pay for quality tools.
Conservative projections based on 5% free→paid conversion. UAE first, then regional expansion.
With 5% free→paid conversion, we need ~3,000 free users to cover data costs.
We're not competing with stock apps. FundBenchmark analyzes billion-dollar UCITS ? Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities — regulated EU investment funds , OEICs ? Open-Ended Investment Companies — UK-regulated pooled investment funds , and mutual funds — not individual stocks or ETFs ? Exchange-Traded Funds — while we track these, our focus is on actively managed funds .
