Ruslan Muchipov, CEO of Tinkoff Capital Management Company, said:

«We offer our customers new investment opportunities in fast-growing sunrise industries and regions. Among them is the Tinkoff AI-Robotics Fund, enabling investments in two closely interconnected technologies at once. Artificial intelligence and intelligent robots have already produced a revolution in many industries, and their application areas will keep growing in the future. For example, these technologies are widely used in health care to process clinical and outpatient services (checking vital signs, performing tests). Artificial intelligence has taken cybersecurity to a new level: now hacker attacks and fraud can be prevented as well as being promptly detected.

«New technology keeps changing the financial services sector, ousting traditional business models from the market and developing a new industry, fintech. According to experts, the number of financial service users in the world is growing annually by 15%-20% on average. The pandemic has also contributed to the development of the industry by fanning investor interest. In Q1 2021, fintech companies around the world raised USD 22.8 billion. This is almost twice as much as the quarter before. The Tinkoff FinTech Fund pools together the strongest players to gain maximum benefit from further growth in the sector.

«The Tinkoff PAN-ASIA Fund will be a convenient way to invest in the largest issuers in the Asia-Pacific region for those who are betting on the further recovery and rapid growth of the region’s economies. After the recession of 2020 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Bank expects the Asia-Pacific economy to recover, with GDP growth forecast at 7.7% in 2021. The general recovery of global GDP, which will give a boost to many export-oriented economies in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as the rapid development of the Chinese economy, will contribute to this.»
