Bahrain's Tanami Launches World's First Private Market Robo-Advisor
Tanami, a Bahrain-based investment platform, recently introduced SmartMatch at the Singapore FinTech Festival. This innovation is the first robo-advisor for private markets globally. It aims to democratise access to high-quality private investments by offering tailored portfolios in areas like private equity and real estate, based on individual goals and risk preferences.
SmartMatch stands out by using proprietary algorithms to craft personalised portfolios managed by leading institutions. This approach targets investors who have often been overlooked. By aligning investor goals with diversified portfolios, Tanami reduces entry barriers and expands participation in asset classes known for long-term wealth creation.

Faisal Aljalahma, Co-Founder and CEO of Tanami, stated, "We believe private markets should be an integral part of every investment portfolio." He added that SmartMatch allows investors to align their portfolios with personal ambitions without previous complexities.
Dr. Nawaf Almaskati, Co-Founder and Managing Director, highlighted the benefits of their algorithm-driven optimisation engine. This tool constructs more resilient portfolios than traditional methods by balancing diversification, liquidity, and performance across market cycles. He noted that SmartMatch is supported by the Tanami Academy, which educates investors about private markets.
Tanami collaborates with top global asset managers to offer curated access to private market opportunities. Investors enjoy benefits such as no minimums or capital calls and quarterly liquidity options. They can choose between conventional or Shariah-compliant structures, ensuring accessibility and transparency.
The introduction of SmartMatch marks a significant step in Tanami's mission to make institutional-grade investments accessible to a broader audience. By simplifying complex investment processes, it empowers individuals to engage confidently in private markets while maintaining a focus on education through the Tanami Academy.
