The acquisition combines institutional AI and alternative data processing to deliver the industry's first fully integrated wealth intelligence solution.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BridgeWise, the global leader in AI for wealth, today announced the acquisition of Chicago-based Context Analytics, the top AI-powered alternative data processing company, used by tier-one financial firms including S&P Global Market Intelligence.

By merging BridgeWise's institutional-grade investment intelligence platform – already embedded in financial institutions across Asia, Europe, and South America – with Context Analytics' expertise in unstructured financial data processing, the consolidated company now provides a level of asset analysis completeness that stands alone in the industry, setting the stage for the next evolution of AI for financial services. The combined offering delivers a complete solution, from data processing to analytics and engagement, in a single integrated system, establishing the world's first vertically integrated, wealth-native intelligence infrastructure.

 

 

The New Benchmark in AI for Wealth

BridgeWise has long set the standard for compliant, multilingual AI recommendations and analysis across more than 70,000 global assets. By integrating Context Analytics, which uses proprietary technology to transform news, social media, and thousands of pages of complex filings into numeric, machine-readable data and timely sentiment scores, BridgeWise is now uniquely capable of decoding the full spectrum of market information, providing a holistic solution for banks, brokers, investment managers, and financial service providers in the capital markets.

Financial institutions have increasingly questioned the use of general-purpose AI models in high-stakes investment decision-making, particularly where explainability, auditability, and oversight are required. While generalist, off-the-shelf LLMs have introduced AI to the mainstream, they lack the domain-specific rigor and governance required for highly regulated environments. BridgeWise provides the only AI-native, fully transparent alternative for a complex, regulated industry that cannot rely on generic models.

"Our vision has always been to provide the most robust financial intelligence on the planet," said Gaby Diamant, CEO of BridgeWise. "By joining forces with Context Analytics, we have created an end-to-end powerhouse for the global financial ecosystem. This partnership allows us to unify the entire intelligence journey, from the proprietary NLP that decodes the world's raw text and data sources to the end-users' most concrete intelligence needs, maintaining a compliant, explainable flow of AI analysis. This represents a fundamental evolution in how every financial institution is leveraging intelligence in its day-to-day client services. By merging these capabilities, we are unlocking a new standard of comprehensive, data-backed, compliant intelligence that allows every investor to see the market with total explainability."

"Joining BridgeWise allows us to realize the full potential of what we've built over the last 13 years," said Joe Gits, CEO of Context Analytics. "By combining our ability to decode the world's unstructured financial text and sentiment with BridgeWise's institutional AI, we are creating a vertically integrated engine that finally bridges the gap between raw information and intelligent action."

Looking Forward: Unlocking the Future of Personalized Finance

The comprehensive intelligence enabled by BridgeWise's and Context Analytics' joint technology serves as a catalyst for launching pAI, BridgeWise's groundbreaking AI wealth agent, which builds, reviews, and optimizes individual portfolios in a fully personalized, explanatory, and conversational manner. By feeding Context Analytics' high-fidelity data directly into pAI's orchestration engine, BridgeWise is transforming how financial institutions deliver personalized wealth-building journeys at scale.

pAI empowers financial institutions to replace static investment paths with adaptive, wealth-native AI journeys. By leveraging this vertical-specific intelligence, banks, brokers, and trading platforms can deliver high-touch, agile wealth-building experiences to millions of users simultaneously, offering real-time onboarding and portfolios that adjust automatically as markets and investor needs evolve. While institutions benefit from a scalable solution that doesn't drain resources, their clients receive a truly individualized experience.

The acquisition of Context Analytics solidifies BridgeWise as the only partner capable of delivering a 360-degree view of the market through a single, compliant infrastructure, setting the pace for how the world's leading financial institutions interact with data, technology, and their customers.

Financial AI Leaders Join Forces: BridgeWise Acquires US-Based Context Analytics to Pioneer End-to-End Wealth-Native Intelligence

HONG KONG, Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tonight (18 February) Hong Kong celebrated the arrival of the Chinese New Year with the spectacular "Prosperity Gallops Across Hong Kong" Year of the Horse Fireworks Display, exclusively sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club (the Club). Meanwhile, there was a drone and fireworks show in Conghua, Guangzhou, also supported by the Club. Both shows are part of the Club's Year of the Horse campaign, a year-long celebration of the special role of horses and horse racing in our community.

In Hong Kong, the 23-minute firework extravaganza opened with a vibrant burst of fireworks to welcome the Year of the Horse. The dazzling display featuring horse-themes and auspicious symbols to extend blessings for the new year. Horseshoes, as well as "HKJC" and "WIN" designs, lit up the night sky, creating a powerful and majestic atmosphere that evoked galloping horses. A total of 31,888 pyrotechnic shells were launched, illuminating Victoria Harbour to spectacularly welcome the Year of the Horse.

Enjoying the fireworks were guests at a special ceremony hosted by the Club at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Officiating at the ceremony, HKSAR Chief Executive The Hon John KC Lee said this year marks the start of the country's 15th Five-Year Plan, and Hong Kong will continue its relentless efforts in pursuing reform and progress while proactively aligning with the Plan. Hong Kong will also actively integrate into the overall national development strategy, and leveraging its distinctive advantages – strong support from the country and close connections to the world under "One Country, Two Systems" – to contribute to the country's high-quality development. He thanked The Hong Kong Jockey Club for sponsoring tonight's fireworks display, bringing blessings and joy for the Year of the Horse. He wished the motherland prosperity and strength, and Hong Kong a flourishing economy.

The Hon Martin Liao, Chairman of The Hong Kong Jockey Club, said the Year of the Horse is an especially auspicious year for the Club. The city's status as a world leader in horse racing and the on-going development of equestrian sport are sources of immense pride. The Club has launched the Year of the Horse campaign, which includes sponsoring the Year of the Horse Fireworks Display, to honour the horse and the sport that has contributed to the progress and betterment of our city, and to share the festivities with local residents and visitors from around the world. "The Hong Kong Jockey Club's sole purpose is to act continuously for the betterment of our society.  Besides providing world-class horse racing and horse sports entertainment, we are entrusted by the Hong Kong SAR Government with channelling gambling demand to combat the illegal market.  Through this integrated business model, we are able to generate significant economic value and employment, with our surplus going back to the community through charity donations. We have grown to become one of the largest charity benefactors globally, with our sole focus on Hong Kong. Yet none of this would be possible without the horse." he said.

Spectators in Conghua, Guangzhou enjoyed a no less dazzling display, solely supported by the Club from the first day of Chinese New Year (17 Feb) to today. Around 1,200 drones combined with fireworks to fill the night sky with lively horse racing imagery and symbols of good fortune, heralding a prosperous and joyful year ahead.

Looking forward, one of the key highlights of the Year of the Horse campaign will be the start of world-class racing at the Club's Conghua Racecourse in Guangzhou in October. This will be a significant milestone in the Club's support for national equine industry development in the Greater Bay Area and beyond.

The Year of the Horse campaign unites the community through thrilling races, international equestrian spectacles, and a special series of cultural, sporting and family events. It is a community celebration, a tourist attraction and an opportunity to promote equine and community sports development.
