Quantifeed was founded in Hong Kong in 2013. Other than Hong Kong, it has two more offices — one in Singapore and the other in Sydney. Backed by HSBC and global asset manager Franklin Templeton, it has expanded its operations to provide services to customers across Asia.

The company raised funds through Series C round in May. This round was led by HSBC Asset Management’s alternative investments business, HSBC Alternatives, and current shareholders including Franklin Templeton.

Alpima executive chair Rafael Febres-Cordero said: “This is a significant milestone for us, we are delighted to join the Quantifeed family and combine our leading technology to create a global platform.”

The deal will see fintech investor Fidelity International Strategic Ventures join Quantifeed as a shareholder, reported The Asset.

“This transaction accelerates our mission to increase the productivity of investment professionals and to create better investment outcomes for their clients,” added Ypsilanti.
