About AKJ


AKJ has established a long track record of success in the asset management and fintech space, with clients in 35 countries, $2B in ecosystem assets, and five regulatory jurisdictions, along with being an eight-time recipient of HFM’s Best Hedge Fund Platform award.  But we are only getting started and are now at a pivotal moment as we build the foundation for the next era of asset management. 


AKJ is redefining how asset management work gets done. As 24/7 markets, agentic AI, and tokenisation reshape an industry most legacy providers can’t keep pace with, we are developing the AKJ Intelligence Stack: the first AI-native, integrated platform combining regulated infrastructure, agentic orchestration, and embedded execution within one architecture. We are also the only regulated, execution-grade alternative to the AI vendors now entering asset management.  AKJ has a regulatory moat that would require years to replicate — with a staged plan to help shape the industry’s next decade. 


We are looking for exceptional builders, thinkers and operators who want to work at the intersection of frontier AI and regulated finance – people that can see the future and want to help shape it.  We look forward to the prospect of you joining our team!
