‘Smartkarma’ was established in September 2014, with its headquarters in Singapore and branches in London and New York. It covers over 5,800 companies and provides more than 44,000 independent research materials. The countries covered mainly include the United States, China, Hong Kong, Japan, India, and Korea, offering a wide range of investment strategy content such as bottom-up stock analysis, sector analysis, macroeconomics, and quantitative strategies. Since its founding, it has maintained steady growth and is emerging as Asia’s largest independent research platform.


‘Smartkarma’ provides selected independent research materials and can be seen as a collective intelligence platform of global investment analysts, built and serviced through integrated cloud-based technology. Some services operate as an ‘interactive investment network’ that enables two-way communication between clients and investment analysts. Unlike traditional investor networks, Smartkarma’s distinctive strength lies in allowing direct conversations with independent investment experts and participation in webinars together.


Through this partnership, FnGuide will sell Smartkarma Pro and Smartkarma Plus, which are specialized for domestic institutional and individual investors. These two products allow users to quickly access overseas (United States, China, Hong Kong) research materials. Additionally, they offer features such as setting favorite stocks and analysts, webinar participation, and viewing collections provided by Smartkarma. Useful supplementary information such as holding company data, overseas IPO analysis, and M&A statistics is also available.



FnGuide stated, “We are striving to provide investors with diverse global investment information. Recently, we received favorable reviews by launching CompanyGlobal and ETFGlobal through partnerships with reputable global investment information providers,” adding, “We plan to continuously provide investors with diverse and verified global investment information in the future.”
