Marketech and ausbiz forge strategic equity partnership, launching AI-driven video insights for investors

Marketech Ltd, the ‘trading-tech’ company behind Australia’s leading ‘Focus’ platform for serious share investors, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with ausbiz, Australia’s leading provider of market-focused news and insights.

Through this partnership, ausbiz will provide access to its new proprietary technology solution, ‘ausbiz intel’, the full ausbiz daily live-stream, and separate CEO interviews, all embedded into Marketech’s Focus platform.

Unlike the growing number of homogenized AI solutions, ‘ausbiz intel’ leverages the expertise of some of Australia’s leading professional investors, analysts, and commentators, providing consumable and actionable opinions and insights in a timely manner. This AI-driven video product transforms unfiltered video conversations into concise trading insights, redefining how financial content is delivered to self-directed investors.

Investors using Marketech’s Focus platform will gain access to approximately 40 of these short, sharp video snippets daily, each with a uniquely ‘human’ perspective on specific stocks, along with a sentiment analysis from the featured expert. Mobile notifications will be linked to the companies mentioned in each video, then stored within the company’s ASX market data for future reference.

“Robo-advice and AI have their place, but seem unlikely to replace the need for human analysis and opinion in relation to direct shares,” said Marketech CEO Travis Clark. “However, by integrating ausbiz’s human expert-driven ‘intel’ into the market data and trading platform itself, we are redefining the efficient transmission of data from its source to an investor, combining extensive market data, news, research, conferences, AI analysis, and human opinion all in one platform.”

“According to investor studies from the ASX, 70% of Australian investors trade their shares via an online broker,” said Kylie Merritt, Managing Director of ausbiz. “Those platforms are the second-most preferred source of information to help make investment decisions. Our intel product simply puts the most relevant video content in front of investors where and when they need it most.”

The partnership, structured as an ‘equity for content and promotion’ arrangement, mirrors similar innovative agreements recently unveiled by Airtasker. It wills see ausbiz become a shareholder in Marketech Ltd, joining an esteemed group of well known investors. This strategic move is also expected to position Marketech well for an IPO, as soon as the markets reopen for new tech listings.

With all recent venture capital having been directed towards simplified solutions for the first-time or casual investor, Marketech’s Focus platform stands alone by targeting serious share investors, and resulted in a Canstar Gold ‘Outstanding Value’ award – as the only Australian-owned recipient. Features such as high-function technical charting, low-cost trading on HIN/bank account, live-streaming data, advanced trading capabilities, and seamless operation across mobile and PC devices make it a preferred choice for high-turnover, high-net-worth clients. The platform’s ability to integrate with any media partners and many other financial services further cements its leading position in the market.
