UX Designer

Company Description
PortfolioFuture is an independent fund discovery and intelligence company focused on ETFs and mutual funds. The team uses empirical research to evaluate and rank funds, uncover credible competitive positions, and support better allocation decisions in investor and advisor portfolios. PortfolioFuture analyzes fund substitution, relative performance, and investable return decomposition to clarify what individual funds contribute to portfolio outcomes. For asset managers, the company connects independent fund research with portfolio and ownership intelligence to highlight evidence-based opportunities and relevant distribution channels. All research is independent, with rankings and conclusions driven by data rather than commercial relationships.
