At FinMason we believe that institutional-grade investment analytics should be made part of every software tool

We solve the two largest hurdles – wrangling market data and calculating analytics at scale.

Via our cloud based API we provide our lightning-fast, customizable, calculation engine, to accelerate any wealth technology build out.

Financial market data runs on outdated infrastructure. FinMason has upgraded it, and added analytics

Fintech tools require large quantities of poorly structured market data, and software developers spend months ingesting and normalizing the data, and more months building analytic calculations.

FinMason solves that problem by providing access to over 500 calculations and 600 market data items on every stock, bond and fund in the world, delivered through one simple, fast API.

Using FinMason’s API, investment analytics can be quickly and cost-effectively added to any fintech platform.
