Halo Investing

Halo Investing is a Chicago-based financial technology company that operates a marketplace for "protective investments" — structured notes, multi-manager structured note SMAs, buffered ETFs, annuities and insurance — connecting financial advisors, RIAs and financial institutions with more than 40 global banking and insurance issuers. Founded in 2015 by Biju Kulathakal and Jason Barsema, the platform lets advisors analyze, customize, price, execute and then monitor outcome-based products from a single dashboard, with tools such as the Aura portfolio simulator and an asset allocation framework for structured notes. Halo reports more than $45.5B in transactions since 2015 and employs 100+ people. Its affiliate Halo Securities LLC is an SEC-registered broker-dealer and a member of FINRA/SIPC, acting as distributor and selling agent for structured note products. The advisor platform at notes.haloinvesting.com is entirely authenticated behind a login. As of this profiling pass Halo Investing publishes no public developer portal, API documentation, OpenAPI/AsyncAPI/GraphQL contract, SDK, CLI, MCP server or A2A agent card; advisor-side API integration is offered through the third-party Schwab OpenView Gateway rather than a Halo-published API.

Halo Investing is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Financial-Services, Fintech, WealthTech, and Investing.

Halo Investing’s developer surface includes engineering blog, signup flow, YouTube channel, and 16 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Insurance regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/halo-investing: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
