C8’s Weekly Bulletin: US Patent Granted

15 November 2022

 US Patent Granted

C8, the pioneering fintech platform that offers investors the ability to use direct indexing across all liquid asset classes and investment styles, announces that the US Patent Office has issued a patent on C8’s ground-breaking end-to-end platforms, C8 Studio and C8 Wealth, for Direct Indexing.

United States Patent No.:  US 11,430,063

C8 Studio is a fully transparent, end-to-end solution.  The asset owner can: 

• Index Selection:  Chose from the 30+ providers on the platform (and a wide range of ETFs), with a strong pipeline of new providers.
• Index Combination:  Efficiently combine multiple indices using classic techniques, such as Risk Parity, or C8’s proprietary algorithms, such as Tactical Asset Allocation.
• Index Rebalancing:   Rebalance portfolios with only a couple of mouse clicks using STP (straight-through-processing) with the investor’s own broker. 

Transparency is achieved by use of a blockchain solution, so that index providers have full visibility of the usage of their indices and investors have full visibility on when indices are rebalanced by the index providers.
