    Overview

    https://www.twine.net/signin is a professional-grade cross-border ETF and fund comparison tool. Its mission is to empower asset managers, financial advisors, and sophisticated investors with a unified platform that enables:

    Comparison of ETFs and funds across different regions and currencies;

    Advanced analytics spanning benchmarks, performance, and funds/fund-families;

    A clean, intuitive UX tailored for the investment-professional workflow.

    Objectives

    To simplify the complexity of international funds analysis by bringing data into one unified view.

    To support decision-making for cross-border investing, enabling comparisons of funds on a consistent basis.

    To position Find Alpha IO as a go-to platform for global fund-strategy benchmarking and selection.

    Key Features

    Multi-region fund/ETF coverage (e.g., Europe, US, Asia) with unified currency and benchmark treatment.

    Side-by-side fund comparison interface (performance, fees, holdings, benchmark tracking).

    Customisable filters and search (by fund type, region, currency, benchmark, etc.).

    Reporting/dashboarding capabilities for advisors and asset-managers to export or present to clients.

    A responsive, web-based UI accessible globally.

    Target Audience

    Institutional asset managers seeking global fund comparatives.

    Wealth-management and advisory firms that serve cross-border clientele.

    Sophisticated private investors looking for ETF/fund alternatives beyond their local market.

    The project aims to deliver a tool that will reduce time-to-insight for global fund comparison from hours to minutes; enable more confident investment decisions; and provide a differentiator for advisory practices that offer cross-border investment services.
