Syfe has added an artificial-intelligence feature to its brokerage that turns a typed theme or event into a list of US stocks with exposure to it. The digital wealth platform said the tool, called Curate with AI, lets users build a custom basket from the results and carries no additional fees.

Syfe runs saving and investment services across Asia-Pacific and says it manages more than $10 billion in assets for over 400,000 customers, figures it reports itself. The company moved into self-directed equities through its purchase of ASX-listed broker Selfwealth, a deal it won last year in an all-cash transaction valued at AUD 65 million (about $43 million).

How Curate with AI Works

A user enters a theme, such as AI infrastructure or emerging biotech, and the tool scans market data, news and company information in real time to surface stocks it links to that theme, assigning each a relevance score, the company said. Users then pick which of the surfaced US stocks to include before building the basket.

Weighting can be set by hand or left to the system, which allocates by market capitalization and relevance. Fractional shares remove any minimum, so a basket can be funded with any amount. The feature extends Syfe's existing Bundles, pre-set baskets grouped by themes such as the Magnificent 7 or gold.

• AI Agents Are Not Replacing Labor. They Are Reorganizing It

Syfe timed the release to the FIFA World Cup, offering "World Cup sponsors" as a sample search. Founder and Chief Executive Dhruv Arora said tools "once reserved for the largest cheques and the biggest institutions should be available to everyone."

AI Moves Into Stock Discovery

The tool lands in a market where brokers are attaching AI to the earliest stage of investing, the search for what to buy. Interactive Brokers built a comparable theme-to-companies function through its AI-based research tool, letting clients type a topic and see the public companies tied to it. Public pushed further into automation, debuting an AI index generator benchmarked against the S&P 500.

Other firms have aimed the technology at execution rather than selection. eToro lets investors delegate trades to AI agents, and Robinhood has rolled out AI agent accounts that can act on a customer's behalf. Syfe's feature stops at assembling a basket the user then approves and funds.

Backing and Reach

Syfe says it has raised more than $130 million to date and lists Valar Ventures and Unbound among its investors. The platform drew an early Series B round led by Valar Ventures, the fund co-founded by Peter Thiel, and says it is licensed in Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia.

The feature covers US-listed stocks and runs on Syfe Brokerage. The company did not say how many of its customers can access Curate with AI at launch, or in which of its markets it is live.
