Ridgeline has surpassed $650 billion in assets committed to the platform and actively processes billions in live trades each month across portfolio management and trading workflows. The increase in platform AUM and trading velocity reflects the wave of premier asset and wealth managers that have made the move to Ridgeline from legacy technologies in the past three years.
