UK wealth management platform Stratiphy launches
0
By providing everyday investors with access to hyper-personalised and AI-powered investment strategies, Stratiphy offers more control over long-term financial management. It uses automated strategies that respond dynamically to changing market conditions, optimised to seek high performance and low volatility.
There is strong demand amongst UK investors to take more control over their investments amidst volatile global markets - eight in ten (77%) UK investors want this functionality whilst the same proportion say the ability to personalise their investment strategy is essential.
Stratiphy's automation helps users stay disciplined, avoid emotional decision-making, and focus on long-term goals, even during periods of turbulence.
It offers everyday investors an AI-powered investing toolkit that includes the ability to backtest, or simulate historical performance, as well as investment automation. Taken together, this replicates the approach taken by many investment professionals and is presented in a simple and intuitive format for a mainstream audience. The backtest function has been optimised to deliver a realistic 10 year historical portfolio simulation within seconds, demonstrating how a user's personal portfolio would have evolved, providing insight into long-term historic performance. This is designed to make investment decision-making more evidence-based, and reduce barriers to building personal portfolios.
Removing barriers to wealth management tools
Most people say there are too many barriers to accessing wealth management tools. Two thirds (67%) of people in the UK say that everyone should be able to access investing tools, but that too few people invest as it is seen as too complicated.
Nearly half (48%) want help with saving and investing but feel traditional wealth management tools are too expensive. This rises to 69% among those actively considering investing in the future.
Stratiphy's model unlocks wealth management for those typically priced out of these services - its subscription-based model reduces cost barriers for retail investors who otherwise would not be able to build personalised investment strategies to meet their goals.
Daniel Gold, CEO and Founder of Stratiphy, said: 'Investors are dissatisfied with existing wealth management tools that offer limited control and flexibility. Our platform gives investors the opportunity to create personalised investment strategies – but also the tools to assess their quality through realistic backtests. This level of transparency, accessibility and data insights is a step change in what is available to retail investors.
'We've seen there is huge demand for simple tools that enable people to personalise their investment strategies and create portfolios that meet their long-term goals, whether that is saving for a house deposit, paying off their student loan or building a retirement cushion.
'Our ambition is to help everyone improve their investing potential by providing a personal investment toolkit that manages their investments. This empowers everyday investors to invest like professional wealth managers by unlocking access to AI-driven investment tools and insights.'
To support the development of Stratiphy, Daniel joined the NatWest Accelerator which supports entrepreneurs and empowers them to scale their businesses to the next level, through coaching, a programme of thought leadership and events, access to a network of like-minded peers and full-time use of a modern co-working space.
Luke Pamflett, Accelerator Community Manager at NatWest in London, said: 'Congratulations to Daniel and the Stratiphy team on the launch of the new app. Throughout his time on the Accelerator, Daniel has shown a commitment to growing his business and being involved in our Accelerator community, and we wish him every success with this new stage of his business journey.'
Stratiphy has looked to best in class service providers throughout the development process including:
• Factset market data vendor
• Utilising CBOE exchange data
• NVidia for AI expertise and resources
• Stratiphy has raised growth funding with Crowdcube
Stratiphy was granted regulatory approval by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in 2024.

News Corp's Australian newspaper revenue falls as CEO warns Trump of AI's ‘art of the steal'
Revenue generated from News Corp's global newspaper mastheads has fallen sharply, including in Australia, weighing down an otherwise positive financial result. Rupert Murdoch's media conglomerate continues to generate large wads of cash from its digital real estate arm but advertising revenue at News Corp Australia, a division that includes the Australian, the Daily Telegraph and the Herald Sun, was down 5% over the past financial year to US$343m (A$530m). Circulation and subscription revenue also fell, according to results released early on Wednesday. Sign up to get Guardian Australia's weekly media diary as a free newsletter Its UK news division, which counts the Times and the Sun among its mastheads, suffered even steeper revenue falls, as weak advertising conditions buffeted media companies around the world. News Corp, a US-headquartered company that is also listed on the ASX, owns mastheads in the US, the UK and Australia, and operates the book publisher HarperCollins. The Murdoch-controlled company also owns the Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones and has a majority stake in REA Group, the owner of It announced the sale of Foxtel late last year. While News Corp is best known for its traditional media assets, it describes the book publishing, real estate portal and Dow Jones information businesses as its 'core growth pillars'. The latter two divisions generated record income last year, lifting overall revenue to US$8.45bn (A$13.1bn), up 2%. Its controlling stake in REA has generated an ongoing windfall for News Corp, given that the division is tapped directly into Australia's robust property market. The real estate portal is expected to soon face stiffer competition from its rival Domain, which has just been sold to the US giant CoStar. The News Corp chief executive, Robert Thomson, described the overall result as 'sterling'. Sign up to Weekly Beast Amanda Meade's weekly diary on the latest in Australian media, free every Friday after newsletter promotion Thomson told analysts shortly after the financials were released that News Corp was in 'in the midst of advanced negotiations with several AI companies' over the purchase of its intellectual property. Media companies around the world have raised concerns over how they will be compensated for content already being used to train AI products. In comments designed to attract the attention of the US president, Thomson referred to books including Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal being used by AI engines without compensation. 'Is it right that his books should be consumed by an AI engine which then profits from his thoughts by cannibalising his concepts, thus undermining future sales of his book?' Thomson said. 'Suddenly, The Art of the Deal has become the art of the steal. 'We will fight to protect the intellectual property of our authors and journalists and continue to woo and to sue companies that violate the most basic property rights.'

Super Micro's quarterly results underwhelm, shares tumble
Aug 5 (Reuters) - Super Micro (SMCI.O), opens new tab missed Wall Street estimates for fourth-quarter revenue and profit on Tuesday, as the company battles larger server makers for high-performance computers used to train artificial-intelligence models. Shares of the San Jose, California-based company slumped nearly 15.5% in extended trading, as the results followed multiple cuts to its full-year guidance. Its forecast also fell short of its earlier lofty expectations. Super Micro projected revenue of at least $33 billion for fiscal year 2026. The company had predicted around $40 billion in annual sales in February. Analysts on average were expecting $29.94 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Super Micro has been gaining traction in the hyper-competitive server industry, but analysts have said larger rivals such as Dell Technologies (DELL.N), opens new tab and HP Enterprise (HPE.N), opens new tab have been able to leverage their vast customer base to boost sales. "Since we know the market for servers is very strong right now, it is safe to assume the disappointing results for Super Micro are due to share losses," said Gil Luria, managing director at D.A. Davidson & Co. "Their customers are very discerning right now and are choosing servers from Dell, HP and others," Luria added. Dell raised its annual profit forecast while Hewlett Packard Enterprise beat second-quarter revenue and profit estimates. Super Micro expects better chip availability for its fiscal year, when compared to the last two quarters, which will help it grow better, CEO Charles Liang said on a post-earnings call. Delays in the availability of Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab processors had weighed on the company in the recent quarters. Super Micro's shares have climbed about 90% this year as of last close, as investors bet on strong demand for its AI servers and its liquid cooling solutions. "The expectations for all things related to AI, especially the large language and reasoning models, have captivated investors' attention. Any softness is met with deep disappointment, which means lower stock prices," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners. Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O), opens new tab fell in extended trading on Tuesday, after the chipmaker reported disappointing data center revenue. Super Micro, which is bouncing back from accounting-related issues, said revenue was $5.76 billion for the three months ended June 30, compared with analysts' average estimate of $5.89 billion. Its adjusted earnings of 41 cents per share fell short of estimates of 44 cents, primarily due to tariff impact.

Record installations of solar panels, batteries and heat pumps so far in 2025
A record number of solar panels, batteries and heat pumps have been installed in UK homes and buildings in the first six months of 2025, figures show. Data from MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme), the quality mark for small-scale renewables, found there were more than 172,000 certified installations between January and June this year. That is up 37% from the same period in 2024 and a third above the previous record high start to the year, in 2023, the figures show. The MCS said the jump in installations was being driven by three technologies: solar panels, electric heat pumps and battery storage. The top technology is solar panels, with 123,000 certified installations in the first six months of 2025 – a record that breaks the previous January-to-June high set in 2012. There were more than 18,000 installations of batteries, which can allow households to capture excess power from solar panels or charge up from the grid when electricity is cheap and then use it at more expensive peak times to cut bills. The figure is more than double the near 8,000 batteries installed in the same period in 2024, the MCS said. Meanwhile, certified installations of highly efficient heat pumps, which run on electricity to draw heat from the air or ground to warm homes and heat water, reached 30,000 in the first half of the year, up 12% on the first half of 2024. The figures also show that there were almost 50,000 renewable installations on newbuild properties, accounting for 28% of the total for the year so far, and significantly up on the first half of 2024, when they made up 21% of the 125,000 installations overall. The MCS said that, with the Future Homes Standard set to mandate solar panels and low carbon heating in newbuild homes from 2027, there was massive potential for growth in the low carbon tech industry as the Government attempts to boost house building. And the organisation said one of the key drivers behind the increasing number of renewable installations was government financial support, through schemes such as the £7,500 grant for new heat pumps to replace boilers in homes. The latest available figures from January to March show that about three quarters of heat pump installations were wholly or partially supported with government funding. Ian Rippin, chief executive at MCS, said: 'Across all renewable technologies, we are seeing a dramatic rise in the number of installations being delivered into homes, helping to reduce energy bills for consumers and drive down emissions. 'Crucially, there are also more MCS certified installers than ever before, which means a growing capacity to deliver high-quality installations at volume into people's homes.' Miatta Fahnbulleh, minister for energy consumers, said: ' People can save hundreds of pounds off their energy bills when installing renewable and low-carbon technologies like solar panels, heat pumps and batteries. 'So, it is no wonder that installations in the first six months of 2025 have broken records, as households recognise it just makes financial sense.'
