In an interview, Pilowsky said most asset managers were relying on “outdated” accounting software “literally written in the 1980s and 1990s” that ignored technological advances in cloud computing and AI.

FundGuard was founded in 2018 and has raised $150 million to build its investment management software, which it says is powered by AI and can be used to manage mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, insurance products, and pension funds. It has offices in New York, Boston, London, Toronto and Tel Aviv.
The company didn’t disclose its valuation in the latest round. It said it would use the new funds to expand its product innovation and customer base.
