Asheesh Chanda, Founder& CEO
Financial firms have invested heavily in AI in the recent past. The investments are starting to branch out while tapping into the financial applications of machine learning(ML) and deep learning. Artificial Intelligence in stock trading certainly isn’t a new phenomena, but access to it's capabilities has historically been rather limited to large firms. With so much heavy-lifting around AI in the financial domain, there are but only a few who have taken major leaps forward in the development of use case based AI solutions.
However, Singapore based Kristal.AI has been standing out amongst these few. Kristal.AI has built an award winning AI-powered digital wealth management platform, servicing customers across India, Hong Kong, Singapore, the US,and Middle East, and thereby promoting and facilitating offshore investments, among its various other offerings. Using sophisticated tools, financial expertise, and algorithms, Kristal.AI provides investors access to a repository of portfolios from the world's top Portfolio Managers. The company is backed by IDG Ventures India and a group of Angel Investors working in leading banks and financial institutions.

Diversifying abroad is one of the best moves an investor can make for a portfolio. Potential investors tend to be unaware and remain that way, forgetting about the countless investment options outside their home country. Besides, offshore investment brings in a lot of advantages in terms of asset protection, tax savings, diversification of assets, privacy, and hedging etc. However, Offshore investments deserve a mandate of its own since the complexity increases when funds are being transferred across countries. To maintain the discipline in offshore investments by Indian residents, the RBI has set up the
Liberalised Remittance Scheme(LRS).“Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme, Authorised Dealers may freely allow remittances by resident individuals up to USD 250,000 per Financial Year (April-March) for any permitted current or capital account transaction or a combination of both.” In short, under the LRS scheme every resident Indian is permitted to invest upto USD 250,000 per financial year into offshore securities. Beyond this limit, RBI approval is mandated.
