With the wide range of fund options within each category, reducing the effort needed to make a choice became essential. Instead of asking investors to search for and analyse funds one by one, we designed an experience that ranks funds within each category, helping them quickly identify the top performers.

Staying consistent with the same approach for individual fund details, we paired the fund’s rank with a clear view of its performance consistency. This highlighted how reliably the fund has delivered returns, along with the level of volatility investors can expect. The intent was to give users enough clarity and confidence before they move ahead with any investment decision.

Designed an investment experience that clearly guides users on which funds to choose and, more importantly, why those choices make sense for them. Each recommendation was thoughtfully detailed to address the questions and doubts investors typically have, making the journey feel tailored rather than generic. By removing unnecessary noise and focusing on clarity, the experience helped users feel more confident and take action faster.

Building this from scratch, while working closely with the founders, taught me far more than any brief could. I had to pick up the nuances of fintech along the way, understand why people make the investment decisions they do, and design for moments where the stakes are genuinely high. It shifted from how I see investors as people not just moving through flows, but as individuals making decisions they may not fully understand yet.
