Mambu and Light frame collaborate on core banking package for wealth management
Today, Light Frame SA, a Swiss provider of modern investment operations and portfolio management technology, and Mambu, a global leader in cloud-native core banking, have announced a strategic partnership delivering a next-generation, fully integrated core banking solution tailored to the private banking and wealth management industries. 0 The partnership comes at a critical moment as wealth managers and private banks adapt to evolving client expectations, growing regulatory complexity, and increasing pressure on profitability. By combining Mambu's leadership in cloud-native core banking and extensive global operational footprint with Light Frame's sophisticated investment operations and portfolio management technology, the collaboration offers a distinct advantage to banks as they shape and execute their strategy. 'Mambu's entry into private banking alongside Light Frame marks a material step toward modernizing a sector that has historically seen limited innovation,' said Cenk Bozal, Region Manager DACH at Mambu. 'With over 260 live customers across 65 countries, Mambu is uniquely positioned to partner with the industry to realize the transformational value of a modern, proven core.' The core banking market is projected to exceed $65 billion by 2032, growing annually at 18.6%, according to Fortune Business Insights. The wealth management sector remains underserved by legacy technology, resulting in high operational costs and constrained innovation. The Mambu x Light Frame partnership presents a timely and transformative solution for institutions seeking modern alternatives that are secure, compliant, and built for speed and scalability. 'Over the past decade, Mambu has been at the forefront of core banking innovation, though our efforts have largely focused outside the Wealth industry,' said Leon Stevens, Head of EMEA at Mambu. 'We are now pleased to extend that innovation to private banks, wealth managers, brokerage banks, and WealthTechs as they modernize or start their operations. By bridging the gap between investment operations and core retail banking, the new solution empowers Wealth institutions to: Deliver seamless, end-to-end banking and investment experiences Accelerate implementation timelines and reduce IT complexity Integrate efficiently with third-party platforms Drive productivity and automation through intuitive interfaces and modern architecture Ensure resilience, compliance, and scalability through a cloud-native infrastructure 'When we set out to build a modern Swiss private bank, we searched for a core system that could deliver sophisticated wealth services while embracing the advantages of new technology. It didn't exist,' said Schuyler Weiss, CEO of Light Frame and former founder and CEO of the Swiss bank Alpian. 'That experience led to Light Frame. Today, in partnership with Mambu, we're offering a new benchmark—an end-to-end solution that's fast to implement, intuitive to use, and purpose-built for the high-touch, tailored services that define private banking.'

The Tungsten Bet Everyone's Missing
If Almonty Industries Inc. isn't on your radar yet, Apaton Group, CEO Mario Hose thinks it should be — and fast. During a recent sit-down, Mario broke down why the Germany-based Apaton, known for sniffing out undervalued and under-the-radar opportunities, has its sights locked on this emerging tungsten powerhouse. Apaton, split between investment and advisory arms, focuses on growth-stage companies and helps them scale visibility — particularly within the often-overlooked but highly potent German-speaking investment landscape. 'In Canada, 80% of the market is resource-based, and everyone's chasing the same investor,' Mario explained. 'But in the DACH region — Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Luxembourg — you've got 105 million people with relatively little competition for investor attention in the mining and resources space.' That's precisely why Almonty, a tungsten play poised to become the largest producer of the metal outside of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, has captured Apaton's attention. Helmed by founder and CEO Lewis Black, Almonty is ramping up production at its South Korean mine — a development set to go live this summer. What sets Almonty apart, Hose emphasized, is leadership. 'Lewis has serious skin in the game,' he noted. 'He's not just drawing a paycheck. He's invested his own money. That kind of alignment with shareholders is rare.' And the timing? Impeccable. As global tensions rise and tungsten supply chains face increasing restrictions, demand for the strategic metal is surging. From military-grade hardware to your smartphone's vibration mechanism, tungsten is everywhere — and Western nations are scrambling to secure sources outside of geopolitically sensitive regions. With a market cap around $500 million USD and a planned Nasdaq listing on the horizon, Almonty could soon see a substantial influx of U.S. investor interest. 'That listing will drive up liquidity, drive up demand, and usually — drive up share price,' Hose predicted. In a market full of noise, Apaton is laser-focused on signal. And according to Mario Hose, Almonty Industries is sending the right one. For more information on Almonty, their website is as well you can find them on the TSX under the ticker symbol AII.
