Automated investment management service

We built the app for an automated investment service in which AI builds a portfolio of domestic and overseas stocks, ETFs, and pension products to match the investor's risk profile, and rebalances the asset allocation periodically. Starting from an app already released on another platform, we analyzed its source code and screen behavior directly, set the scope, and rebuilt it to fit the target platform's screen structure. Returns and asset allocation are the numbers investors watch most closely, so a display that is off becomes a trust problem at once. The work covers the portfolio charts, the product sign-up flow, and display checks on the financial screens.

A port that started from the source code and was rebuilt around the screen flow

The automated investment app had already shipped on another platform, and the work began with a direct analysis of that app's source code and screen behavior. The analyzed features were listed to set the scope, and instead of copying the existing implementation as is, they were rebuilt to fit the target platform's screen structure and user flow. The schedule was short, so priorities were set feature by feature, with the product sign-up flow and the investment charts at the center, balancing speed and stability.

Investment charts that read by shape before the numbers

The portfolio screens of the automated investment app show returns, asset allocation, and statistics as charts. Because the algorithm rebalances the allocation periodically, these charts are where investors check how much of their money currently sits in which asset. Line, bar, and pie charts are each used where they fit the screen's purpose, so investors grasp performance and portfolio makeup by shape before reading the numbers one by one. The chart type and the data shown were chosen per screen, according to the question that screen has to answer.

Swiping through product cards and stepping straight into sign-up

Signing up for a robo-advisor product means browsing investment products, from domestic and overseas stocks and ETFs to personal and retirement pension accounts, and their descriptions laid out as cards, swiping sideways to choose. The card screens and swipe interaction were built so that browsing a product flows naturally into the next step. Product screens carry a lot of content, so they were built in sections, each with its own data structure and cell layout, so that adding or changing a feature touches only that section.

Checking financial screens so not a single return figure is off

Investment information, product descriptions, and return figures are the financial data investors react to most sensitively. On those screens, edge cases were checked one by one so that no display errors or mismatched states between screens could appear. If the same return looks different from one screen to the next, investors doubt the service before they doubt the arithmetic.
