What Finartis does
Finartis is a Swiss-headquartered vertical software vendor (legal entity FINARTIS SA, founded 1986 in Lausanne as SAGE Group SA and rebranded to FINARTIS in March 2018) that builds the Prospero Suite, a modular front-to-back investment management platform running on a single integrated database. The platform serves private banks, family offices, asset managers, and fund administrators across Switzerland, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, with modules for Wealth Management, Fund Management, IAM & Family Office, and Asset Management, complemented by the BlackSwan risk and allocation engine, the Prospero Mobile App and Web Portal, the Prospero Essentials SaaS tier, and the ARTIE AI technology layer introduced in 2025.
The company operates regional offices in Switzerland (HQ), Singapore, Dubai, and Manila, distributing through direct enterprise sales and a channel partner network (Kris FinSoftware in the Philippines, INTENT for embedded AI distribution, SAGE/Ocean Technology in Vietnam, Treppides in Cyprus, plus integrations with SIX, Thomson Reuters, Bloomberg, SWIFT, Oracle, AWS, and Azure). Revenue mechanics combine subscription licensing (perpetual or annual subscriptions priced by users and modules), a pay-per-use SaaS cloud tier for smaller IAMs and family offices, and professional services for implementation, customization, training, and the business operations service launched in 2023.
Finartis is privately held, acquired by Montreal-based Valsoft Corporation in May 2021, and continues to operate as a subsidiary under the Valsoft vertical-market software portfolio. The customer base is enterprise-tilted (Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank since 2007, Global Investment House Kuwait, Union Bank of the Philippines, Emirates Investment Bank, Amalgamated Investment Bank, Cluster Family Office Spain, Treppides Fund Services Cyprus), with the Middle East historically contributing over 30% of revenue. Public financial disclosure is limited: the most recent disclosed revenue figure is CHF 11 million in 2012, against a current headcount of 101-250 employees.
