embracing the digitalisation of finance.

Since FinTech first emerged in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, financial services have been rapidly changing due to digital technologies. Today, FinTech represents a USD 150-plus billion industry that is estimated to grow by 20% over the next five years.¹ As FinTech continues to transform financial services over the next decade and beyond, LO Funds – Global FinTech aims to select stocks that stand to benefit from this sustainable long-term trend.²

Five FinTech trends to watch for.

The world will possibly move towards a fully cashless society.		Digital finance could aid financial inclusion for all.
Digitalisation lowers barriers to entry, improves efficiency and enables new financial services.		The rise of technology ecosystems could offer significant opportunities.

	Cybersecurity and insurance are basic necessities for all digital financial services.

Note: There can be no assurance that these results will be achieved or that there will be a return on capital.

An active, fundamental approach to investing in companies that stand to benefit from the digitalisation of financial services.

Secular forces: Tech-savvy demographics, digitalization and a growing need for financial inclusion are driving forces behind FinTech’s longevity and potential monetisation. 

Longstanding trends experience: Managed by a team that combines expertise in both financials and technology with global trends experience. 

From trends to strategy: The team translates thoroughly researched trends into a large, liquid and broad investable universe of high quality listed FinTech companies. 

Disciplined analysis: The team’s bottom-up selection is based on in-depth financial track record analysis, with a preference for internally-financed businesses with a solid environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) profile.
