Droit plans to use the proceeds to develop new wealth management products, such as cross border and product suitability tools.

This will expand the use of the firm’s Adept platform into the wealth management industry. The platform has already been employed by financial entities for pre- and post-trade decision-making and auditability.

Besides, the fresh infusion will help Droit further develop new and current products, such as position reporting, transaction reporting as well as speed up the development of the company’s pre-trade product suite, among others.

Droit founder and CEO Brock Arnason said: “This year marked Droit’s 10-year anniversary and we greatly appreciate the support from our investors and their confidence in our future success.
