China CITI Bank International launches its robo-advisory offering in Hong Kong which was co-developed with fintech firm Quantifeed.

The new goals-based advisory offering, «Robo 360» is a goal-based advisory service made available through CITIC’s mobile banking app, «inMotion». Investors will be able to access 8-20 portfolios with a minimum investment amount as low as $100 and fees of just 1 percent. The portfolios are constructed with up to eight funds each by leveraging smart analytics and quantitative research capabilities. 

The launch makes CITIC the first bank in Hong Kong to offer a goals-based robo-investment advisory solution.

«We believe this will revolutionize wealth management in Hong Kong by ensuring that professionally managed investment products, previously only available to a limited wealth segment, are now available to retail customers,» said Alex Ypsilanti, CEO and co-founder of Quantifeed.
