Disruptions Driving
FinTech Investing
February, 2015
The global FinTech marketplace is experiencing significant
changes as new and disruptive technology is having a
major impact on products, services and business models.
There is a wave of capital flowing into startups looking to disintermediate the major
financial institutions. All of a sudden, there are significant investment opportunities in a
market ready to embrace new and innovative technologies.
This white paper will explore why the FinTech market is attracting so much attention, it
will highlight the two distinct segments of the FinTech landscape, and look at some of the
key factors driving innovation and investments. It will also provide thoughts about how
InformationVenture Partners sees the FinTech landscape and where its investment efforts
are focused.
NOTE: The definition of FinTech has been rapidly evolving. We look at FinTech as financial
and information technology that includes front office/consumer-facing services and
software, and back and middle office innovation. This market includes banks, insurance
companies, investment and asset managers, capital market firms, payment companies,
loyalty programs, and analytics of data collected by any of the aforementioned.

The Dawn of FinTech 2.0?
While the spotlight may be shining on the FinTech market,it is not a new phenomenon.Over
the past five years, investment in FinTech start-ups has been steadily growing. According
to CB Insights, in 2013, there was more than $3 billion of global financing activity. This
represents a nearly 3-fold increase since 2008 in dollars invested and companies financed.
Investments in North American continue to lead by a significant margin but the rest of the
world has experienced faster growth, especially in 2012/2013. Canadian investment in
FinTech is not tracked,although,anecdotally,it is not proportional to the presence that our
financial institutions have globally.

Setting the Stage for $1-billion Startups
“There is a confluence of modern technologies, business imperatives and non-
traditional competitive pressures in financial services that are creating a perfect
environment to build the next billion dollar venture backed company,”says David
Unsworth, co-Founder and General Partner with Information Venture Partners.
“Cloud infrastructure, new analytical techniques, and an expectant client base -
both consumer and business - will fuel a massive revolution in the business in
the next five years”

Renewed interest in building market share
and launching new products
From 2008 to 2011, there was an underinvestment in FinTech. In the wake of the
2008/2009 global economic crises, precipitated by the financial services industry,
financial institutions focused on cost cutting to maintain profit margins. There was
less attention on investing in, or embracing of new and innovative technologies.
As economic conditions have improved, however, there has been a renewed interest
in building market share and launching new products. A key part of this strategy is
innovation, specifically how to leverage technology to modernize how business is
conducted, which new products to launch and how to optimize client relationships.
Celent, a research and consulting firm, says financial institutions that embrace
innovation as a corporate strength can establish a branding advantage.

The three
factors driving
investment activity
There are a growing number of disruptive startups aggressively pursuing new
opportunities,particularly in the B2C segment. As consumers become more digitally
engaged and mobile devices ubiquitous, there is demand for better and easier
access to financial services. Startups such as Square and Stripe are attacking “low
hangingfruit”throughtechnologiesthatleveragelowcost,cloudcomputing,powerful
mobile devices, and easily available interfaces to bypass channels owned or
controlled by incumbent financial institutions. As these startups attract more users
and media coverage, investors are increasingly excited about this next generation of
new and disruptive challengers.
Tech-savvy millennials do not trust banks. According to the Millennial Disruption
Index, 71% of millennials would “rather go to the dentist than listen to what banks
are saying”, while 53% do not think their banks offer anything different than other
banks. Translation: if banks want to gain or retain customers, they have no choice
but to embrace innovative technology. We believe that banks are at risk of becoming
irrelevant. “Banking is at the highest rate of disruption”, the Millennial Disruption
Index concludes.“The change will be seismic”.

“We have a chance to
rebuild the system. Financial
transactions are just numbers;it’s
just information.You shouldn’t need
100,000 people and prime Manhattan
real estate and giant data centers
full of mainframe computers from
the 1970s to give you the ability
to do an online payment.”
- Marc Andreessen

One of the biggest drivers for FinTech is the size of the market. Gartner estimates global
enterprise IT spending for the banking and securities market was $485 billion in 2014.
Although barriers to entry may be high, the financial services market is too big to keep
disruptive players from entering the fray.The risk for financial institutions is that if they do
not have the right technology,it will become more difficult to compete. Adopting innovative
technology will not only let financial institutions battle disruptive players, but also provide
new opportunities to drive revenue and profit, and expand product portfolios.

At Information Venture Partners, we believe it is important to divide the FinTech market
into two distinct worlds:front office and back office.
The front office
The front office or consumer market has attracted a lot of the spotlight. It is a large, sexy
market with products that people use on a daily basis. Startups such as Square ($200
million), Boku ($35 million), TransferWise ($58 million) and Stripe ($70 million) have
attracted significant amounts of venture capital, while Lending Club raised $870 million
through an initial public offering.
At the front-end, there is a surge of exciting ideation, and an increasing number of smart,
visionary entrepreneurs pursuing innovative business ideas.A lot of this activity is focused
on opportunities that startups can easily attack using cloud computing infrastructure
and anti-incumbent sentiments. Some of the markets attracting significant attention are
mobile payments, peer-to-peer lending and personal finance applications.
The two worlds
of the FinTech
market
6
Fierce Competition for Consumer Startups
While there is plenty of enthusiasm, the consumer market also has intense competition.
This will make it challenging for investors to pick the “winners” because so many variables
need to align. These startups will need to be well capitalized, build brand awareness and
viral adoption, and execute at a high level. At the same time, the revenue models for many
of these startups are still evolving, and it is difficult to predict how much fickle consumers
are willing to pay for new services.
Thereisanotherimportantconsideration:whileconsumer-facingstartupshaveattracteda
lot of attention,by definition,they are not focused on bigger,thornier problems that exist in
the back-office (and often legacy technology) operations.This is a far more complex world
given it involves mission critical core operations that financial institutions are reluctant
to change. Some of these core systems are decades old and fragile. The technology is
entrenched and deeply embedded in critical processes. The need to innovate back-end
legacy systems is something we call “the silent revolution”. It may not have sizzle but there
are significant and necessary changes on the horizon.
We believe, however, that banks and financial institutions must embrace innovation to
modernize back-end and legacy systems,while still maintaining perfect levels of reliability
and availability.They need new tools to deal with the massive amounts of information they
have gathered about their customers and products. They need to embrace new paradigms
and architectures so they can become more agile and strategic. This will allow financial
institutions to do a better job of meeting the needs of new and existing customers and, as
importantly, provide them an aggressive defense against disruptive startups.

of the FinTech
market

Innovation Impacting Back-End and
Legacy Systems
The need to innovate has created a significant opportunity to provide capital to companies
that develop new technologies that leverage the power of back-end and legacy systems
usingthesametechnologiesnowimpactingthefront-end:cloudcomputing,SaaSandAPIs.
This is why Information Venture Partners is focused on the back-end systems market. It is
a sector that we know extremely well. We have tracked and invested in it for 14 years. We
haveanetworkofworld-classpartners. Andwebelievetherearecomplexandeconomically
valuable problems to be solved as financial institutions look for next-generation
applications. Perhaps most of all, financial institutions recognize the need to modernize
and have budget and intent to invest in the next generation of back office technologies.
“FinTech has become
‘sexy’,” says Robert Antoniades,
Co-Founder and General Partner of
Information VP. “We see much of the excitement
and hype centred around applications that are re-
inventing the consumer experience and, to the extent
possible, disintermediating the banks all together. There
are and will be some very successful businesses built solving
this defined set of problems. But as alluring as consumer facing
FinTech is, we prefer to focus on the more complex and painful
problems in the market, including applications focused on
addressing financial crime, predictive analytics, customer and
product profiling, payments, capital markets technologies,
cyber security and regulatory or compliance applications.”

The convergence of 4
powerful themes
Innovative technology is creating exciting investment opportunities in legacy and back
office worlds.
1The need to innovate has come to the forefront of the back office
andlegacyworldsastheystrainundertheweightoflongoutdated
systems and processes. Banks, insurance companies and other
financial institutions increasingly see the need to embrace new
technologies to modernize and,as important,defend themselves
against disruption and startups pecking away at their business.

The convergence of 4

2Financial institutions need to be more nimble, they need to drive
higher margins, launch new products, and have better customer
insight. At the same time, the drive to embrace technology and
innovation is being driven by executives and business units,
rather than IT, which has been protective of existing and well
understood legacy systems. Business unit decision makers and
executives require more, better and faster access to information
to grow market share, increase profits, retain and optimize their
customer relationships, as well as virtually every other function.
3In the wake of the 2008/2009 economic crisis, banks have had
to deal with a seemingly ever increasing number of governance
and compliance issues.As a result,there is a continuous wave of
investment required to manage regulatory obligations, including
technologies that make compliance less cumbersome, more
holistic and automated.
4As technology evolves,so do cyber threats to financial institutions.
Asanindustry,financialserviceswillneedtoinvestandcontinually
reinvest to protect all systems from security threats and breaches
such as customer asset or identity theft, fraud and money
laundering or even DDoS attacks. The adoption and purchase of
new technology to address these risks are table stakes.
10
Our investment focus can be broadly defined to
fit into five high level areas:
COREFINANCIALAPPLICATIONSACROSSBANKING,CAPITALMARKETS,INSURANCE,ANDASSET/
WEALTH MANAGEMENT. As financial institutions look to modernize and differentiate
themselves, there will be a greater need for operational and core systems that are
flexible, scalable and secure. We see opportunities in areas such as loan origination
and underwriting platforms, customer segmentation and optimization, scale,
efficiency and analytical capabilities in the enterprise data warehouse, speed
and transparency for capital markets, and products and functionality for Internet
banking.
FINANCIAL SECURITY AND CRIME PREVENTION: There will be a growing need to make
major investments in security amid the increasing sophistication of fraudulent
and criminal attacks against financial institutions, card issuers, demand deposit
accounts and automated clearing house systems.As well,the increased importance
of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) legislation is requiring financial institutions to
invest in transactional analysis.

FINANCIALDATAAPPLICATIONS: Inmanysectors,bigdataisbecomingastrategicpriority
as companies look to extract better insight and intelligence from their massive data
stores. A new generation of analytics platforms will let financial institutions leverage
insights to shape business strategy, and enhance the customer experience.
CAPITAL MARKETS: The business transformation within capital markets through
technology and operating model changes may be one of the most promising
areas of FinTech investing over the next five to 10 years. Technology adopters will
have an opportunity to gain market share as they disproportionately increase
revenues and decrease costs in the new world of thinner trading margins and more
stringent regulations.
PAYMENTS: The payments landscape has rapidly evolved over the past decade due
to innovation, competition, regulation and exponential growth in ecommerce and
mobile commerce. We believe the next decade will see an acceleration of innovative
and disruptive products and services. Our focus will be investing in technology that
delivers analytics and intelligence to the payment ecosystem.

Conclusion
For all the excitement about FinTech investing,it is important to remember this is not a new
trend. Financial institutions have been investing billions of dollars in technology. We know,
as we have been investing in this market for more than a decade. We are,however,entering
a new and dynamic phase for FinTech, driven by the Web, mobile and cloud computing,
consumer expectations, regulatory changes and myriad other reasons. This is creating
unprecedented investment opportunities for companies that can identify and develop
innovative technologies to help financial institutions improve the customer experience
and technology operations.

Disruptions Driving FinTech Investing

  • 3. The global FinTech marketplace is experiencing significant changes as new and disruptive technology is having a major impact on products, services and business models. There is a wave of capital flowing into startups looking to disintermediate the major financial institutions. All of a sudden, there are significant investment opportunities in a market ready to embrace new and innovative technologies. This white paper will explore why the FinTech market is attracting so much attention, it will highlight the two distinct segments of the FinTech landscape, and look at some of the key factors driving innovation and investments. It will also provide thoughts about how InformationVenture Partners sees the FinTech landscape and where its investment efforts are focused. NOTE: The definition of FinTech has been rapidly evolving. We look at FinTech as financial and information technology that includes front office/consumer-facing services and software, and back and middle office innovation. This market includes banks, insurance companies, investment and asset managers, capital market firms, payment companies, loyalty programs, and analytics of data collected by any of the aforementioned.

  • 5. FinTech investment on the rise The Dawn of FinTech 2.0? While the spotlight may be shining on the FinTech market,it is not a new phenomenon.Over the past five years, investment in FinTech start-ups has been steadily growing. According to CB Insights, in 2013, there was more than $3 billion of global financing activity. This represents a nearly 3-fold increase since 2008 in dollars invested and companies financed. Investments in North American continue to lead by a significant margin but the rest of the world has experienced faster growth, especially in 2012/2013. Canadian investment in FinTech is not tracked,although,anecdotally,it is not proportional to the presence that our financial institutions have globally.

  • 6. Here is a more granular look at the FinTech investment landscape, showing the number of deals and their value in 2014.

  • 7. Renewed interest in building market share and launching new products From 2008 to 2011, there was an underinvestment in FinTech. In the wake of the 2008/2009 global economic crises, precipitated by the financial services industry, financial institutions focused on cost cutting to maintain profit margins. There was less attention on investing in, or embracing of new and innovative technologies. As economic conditions have improved, however, there has been a renewed interest in building market share and launching new products. A key part of this strategy is innovation, specifically how to leverage technology to modernize how business is conducted, which new products to launch and how to optimize client relationships. Celent, a research and consulting firm, says financial institutions that embrace innovation as a corporate strength can establish a branding advantage. 1 The three factors driving investment activity 3
  • 8. The three factors driving investment activity There are a growing number of disruptive startups aggressively pursuing new opportunities,particularly in the B2C segment. As consumers become more digitally engaged and mobile devices ubiquitous, there is demand for better and easier access to financial services. Startups such as Square and Stripe are attacking “low hangingfruit”throughtechnologiesthatleveragelowcost,cloudcomputing,powerful mobile devices, and easily available interfaces to bypass channels owned or controlled by incumbent financial institutions. As these startups attract more users and media coverage, investors are increasingly excited about this next generation of new and disruptive challengers. Tech-savvy millennials do not trust banks. According to the Millennial Disruption Index, 71% of millennials would “rather go to the dentist than listen to what banks are saying”, while 53% do not think their banks offer anything different than other banks. Translation: if banks want to gain or retain customers, they have no choice but to embrace innovative technology. We believe that banks are at risk of becoming irrelevant. “Banking is at the highest rate of disruption”, the Millennial Disruption Index concludes.“The change will be seismic”. 2 “We have a chance to rebuild the system. Financial transactions are just numbers;it’s just information.You shouldn’t need 100,000 people and prime Manhattan real estate and giant data centers full of mainframe computers from the 1970s to give you the ability to do an online payment.” - Marc Andreessen 3 4
  • 9. One of the biggest drivers for FinTech is the size of the market. Gartner estimates global enterprise IT spending for the banking and securities market was $485 billion in 2014. Although barriers to entry may be high, the financial services market is too big to keep disruptive players from entering the fray.The risk for financial institutions is that if they do not have the right technology,it will become more difficult to compete. Adopting innovative technology will not only let financial institutions battle disruptive players, but also provide new opportunities to drive revenue and profit, and expand product portfolios. Payments has taken over 40% of FinTech deals in each of the past 5 years 17 % 9 % 13 % 53 % 9 % 18 % 7 % 16 % 50 % 9 % 22 % 14 % 10 % 43 % 11 % 24 % 13 % 9 % 45 % 9 % 18 % 14 % 12 % 47 % 9 % 21 % 12 % 14 % 44 % 10 % 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2008 Banking & Corporative Finance Capital Markets Data Analytics Payments Personal Finance Management Note: 2013 figures through June 30, 2013 Focus Areas Within FinTech Five Year Deal Share The three factors driving investment activity 5
  • 10. At Information Venture Partners, we believe it is important to divide the FinTech market into two distinct worlds:front office and back office. The front office The front office or consumer market has attracted a lot of the spotlight. It is a large, sexy market with products that people use on a daily basis. Startups such as Square ($200 million), Boku ($35 million), TransferWise ($58 million) and Stripe ($70 million) have attracted significant amounts of venture capital, while Lending Club raised $870 million through an initial public offering. At the front-end, there is a surge of exciting ideation, and an increasing number of smart, visionary entrepreneurs pursuing innovative business ideas.A lot of this activity is focused on opportunities that startups can easily attack using cloud computing infrastructure and anti-incumbent sentiments. Some of the markets attracting significant attention are mobile payments, peer-to-peer lending and personal finance applications. The two worlds of the FinTech market 6
  • 11. Fierce Competition for Consumer Startups While there is plenty of enthusiasm, the consumer market also has intense competition. This will make it challenging for investors to pick the “winners” because so many variables need to align. These startups will need to be well capitalized, build brand awareness and viral adoption, and execute at a high level. At the same time, the revenue models for many of these startups are still evolving, and it is difficult to predict how much fickle consumers are willing to pay for new services. Thereisanotherimportantconsideration:whileconsumer-facingstartupshaveattracteda lot of attention,by definition,they are not focused on bigger,thornier problems that exist in the back-office (and often legacy technology) operations.This is a far more complex world given it involves mission critical core operations that financial institutions are reluctant to change. Some of these core systems are decades old and fragile. The technology is entrenched and deeply embedded in critical processes. The need to innovate back-end legacy systems is something we call “the silent revolution”. It may not have sizzle but there are significant and necessary changes on the horizon. We believe, however, that banks and financial institutions must embrace innovation to modernize back-end and legacy systems,while still maintaining perfect levels of reliability and availability.They need new tools to deal with the massive amounts of information they have gathered about their customers and products. They need to embrace new paradigms and architectures so they can become more agile and strategic. This will allow financial institutions to do a better job of meeting the needs of new and existing customers and, as importantly, provide them an aggressive defense against disruptive startups. The two worlds of the FinTech market 7
  • 12. Innovation Impacting Back-End and Legacy Systems The need to innovate has created a significant opportunity to provide capital to companies that develop new technologies that leverage the power of back-end and legacy systems usingthesametechnologiesnowimpactingthefront-end:cloudcomputing,SaaSandAPIs. This is why Information Venture Partners is focused on the back-end systems market. It is a sector that we know extremely well. We have tracked and invested in it for 14 years. We haveanetworkofworld-classpartners. Andwebelievetherearecomplexandeconomically valuable problems to be solved as financial institutions look for next-generation applications. Perhaps most of all, financial institutions recognize the need to modernize and have budget and intent to invest in the next generation of back office technologies. “FinTech has become ‘sexy’,” says Robert Antoniades, Co-Founder and General Partner of Information VP. “We see much of the excitement and hype centred around applications that are re- inventing the consumer experience and, to the extent possible, disintermediating the banks all together. There are and will be some very successful businesses built solving this defined set of problems. But as alluring as consumer facing FinTech is, we prefer to focus on the more complex and painful problems in the market, including applications focused on addressing financial crime, predictive analytics, customer and product profiling, payments, capital markets technologies, cyber security and regulatory or compliance applications.” The two worlds of the FinTech market 8
  • 13. The convergence of 4 powerful themes Innovative technology is creating exciting investment opportunities in legacy and back office worlds. 1The need to innovate has come to the forefront of the back office andlegacyworldsastheystrainundertheweightoflongoutdated systems and processes. Banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions increasingly see the need to embrace new technologies to modernize and,as important,defend themselves against disruption and startups pecking away at their business. Creating an environment for transformational change 9
  • 14. The convergence of 4 powerful themes 2Financial institutions need to be more nimble, they need to drive higher margins, launch new products, and have better customer insight. At the same time, the drive to embrace technology and innovation is being driven by executives and business units, rather than IT, which has been protective of existing and well understood legacy systems. Business unit decision makers and executives require more, better and faster access to information to grow market share, increase profits, retain and optimize their customer relationships, as well as virtually every other function. 3In the wake of the 2008/2009 economic crisis, banks have had to deal with a seemingly ever increasing number of governance and compliance issues.As a result,there is a continuous wave of investment required to manage regulatory obligations, including technologies that make compliance less cumbersome, more holistic and automated. 4As technology evolves,so do cyber threats to financial institutions. Asanindustry,financialserviceswillneedtoinvestandcontinually reinvest to protect all systems from security threats and breaches such as customer asset or identity theft, fraud and money laundering or even DDoS attacks. The adoption and purchase of new technology to address these risks are table stakes. 10
  • 15. Our investment focus can be broadly defined to fit into five high level areas: COREFINANCIALAPPLICATIONSACROSSBANKING,CAPITALMARKETS,INSURANCE,ANDASSET/ WEALTH MANAGEMENT. As financial institutions look to modernize and differentiate themselves, there will be a greater need for operational and core systems that are flexible, scalable and secure. We see opportunities in areas such as loan origination and underwriting platforms, customer segmentation and optimization, scale, efficiency and analytical capabilities in the enterprise data warehouse, speed and transparency for capital markets, and products and functionality for Internet banking. FINANCIAL SECURITY AND CRIME PREVENTION: There will be a growing need to make major investments in security amid the increasing sophistication of fraudulent and criminal attacks against financial institutions, card issuers, demand deposit accounts and automated clearing house systems.As well,the increased importance of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) legislation is requiring financial institutions to invest in transactional analysis. 1 2 The Information Venture Partners investment focus 11

A new generation of analytics platforms will let financial institutions leverage insights to shape business strategy, and enhance the customer experience. CAPITAL MARKETS: The business transformation within capital markets through technology and operating model changes may be one of the most promising areas of FinTech investing over the next five to 10 years. Technology adopters will have an opportunity to gain market share as they disproportionately increase revenues and decrease costs in the new world of thinner trading margins and more stringent regulations.
