Talking point: OneVest said in a press release that the money will be used to speed up the company’s growth, expand into the U.S., and hire across multiple departments. Launched in 2021, OneVest began working with fintech firms, like Neo Financial, to help them launch wealth-management products. The company has since built new platform capabilities and is pivoting to also serve financial institutions such as banks, credit unions, wealth management firms and insurance companies, CEO and co-founder Amar Ahluwalia told The Logic in an email.
