“FundGuard is shaping the future of investment and fund accounting,” said Lior Yogev, CEO and Co-Founder, FundGuard. “This latest significant investment round reflects the ongoing support of the industry, the confidence our investors have in the value our products bring to the market, and their trust in our leadership and strategic roadmap.”
