Ginkgo vs Hatcher+ FAAST

Ginkgo is a web-based wealth-management platform for family offices and corporate investment platforms. It ingests, parses and reconciles financial information across asset classes from custodian feeds, data APIs and emailed PDFs, contract terms and screenshots. Its core capabilities include AI-powered data ingestion, forecasting passive asset events and customizable output. Supported assets span equities, fixed income, funds, structured products, options, private equity, alternatives, crypto and multi-currency cash. Ginkgo performs daily two-way trade reconciliation and says it detects errors automatically and sends alerts. Users can configure charts themselves in 10 minutes, request team customization in one day, or ask for a PPT/PDF template to be replicated in one week. It aggregates custodian feeds and APIs; Bloomberg feeds and sell-side research are inputs for corporate bond analysis. Ginkgo says data is hosted in AWS Singapore and does not leave Singapore. Described safeguards include AWS KMS key management, AES-256 storage encryption, TLS transmission encryption, role-based access and multifactor authentication. Third-party security certification status is still to be confirmed. Pricing is on request; deployment is free for 4–8 weeks, and the listed trial rate is $1,000 a month, with contract rate thereafter.
