Bambu acquires WealthTech company Tradesocio to fuel expansion

By Leandra Monteiro

Bambu announced the acquisition of Tradesocio, a WealthTech company specialising in investment management and trading technologies with offices in Singapore, India, and Dubai. This acquisition significantly strengthens the combined business’ competitiveness globally. Bambu will now have a presence in major financial hubs and expanded digital wealth capabilities covering stock trading and cryptocurrencies.

With this acquisition, Tradesocio contributes years of experience delivering and operating high-volume trading platforms across various asset classes. The acquisition puts Bambu in a position to provide customers with a greater agency through broader system capabilities that go beyond the offerings of existing robo advisor platforms. In addition, Tradesocio’s presence across EMEA and India, along with an existing portfolio of clients, is set to further Bambu’s reach in a rapidly expanding and evolving global digital wealth market.

Ned Phillips, CEO of Bambu said, “After five years of building solid foundations, Bambu is now entering a phase of rapid growth. This deal helps us in three key areas: it expands our product offering into stocks and crypto, it gives us a wider global footprint and enables us to scale our team effectively to match exponential demand. We believe this positions us well for our Series C and ambitions of becoming the global leader in WealthTech.”

This is unlikely to be Bambu’s last acquisition as they foresee acquiring more companies that strengthen their product mix and global reach to impact the digital wealth industry.
