Fintech

Investing in financial technology

Empowering the leaders of tomorrow


Our Fintech Venture Capital strategy invests in early stage Fintech companies that promote sustainability. We look to support B2B Fintechs that promote sustainability across our three core ESG themes:

Environmental Sustainability

ESG Data & Analytics

Consolidating and assessing climate and transition risks within operations is now essential. To do this effectively, a new infrastructure is needed. Examples include: data sourcing, data management, risk decision, monitoring and reporting.

Transition Finance

When sectors of the economy engage in transformation, financing tools must also be redesigned. Green bonds and loans are great examples of such innovation, however alternative offerings tailored to smaller enterprises must be developed to address their needs.

Climate Risk

The effective management and mitigation of climate related risks is now essential. The employment of insurance is a dominant feature within this discipline. Examples vary from large scale natural disaster insurance to building insurance, especially in geographies particularly vulnerable to the repercussions of climate change.

Social Sustainability

Financial Inclusion

Accessing financial services is still an issue for many individuals. Fostering financial inclusion and making banking and insurance services available to a greater proportion of the world population, represents a great opportunity for Fintechs to make a positive impact.

Redesigning Insurance

A variation of the financial inclusion theme is the distribution of insurance products through non-traditional channels. Embedded insurance is growing and will allow more people to protect their belongings, assets and even potentially their health.

Wellbeing

Services such as wealth management and tailored health insurance are expensive propositions. New technologies will allow a greater number of individuals to benefit from these services. Such technologies could prove to be pivotal in the wellbeing of certain individuals.

Sustainable Governance

Regulation & Compliance

Regulation & Compliance is an ever evolving field. They are growing in variety and complexity and as a consequence, there is a growing appetite for new innovation. Fintechs can promote strong governance by helping businesses understand and effectively address regulations.

Redesigning Infrastructure

Effective client due diligence is essential when onboarding new clients. Innovation in financial crime risk management will become even more important as decentralised finance and crypto-currencies change the very nature of financial crime risks.

Resilience of the Financial System

With growing global wealth, financial market infrastructure could be stretched in areas such as payments and capital markets. New technologies will have to be designed to facilitate sustainable growth.

What we look for

  Fintech companies enabling financial services

  We focus on companies based across Europe, the Middle East and Asia

  Businesses with validated technological capabilities

  Evidence of market traction, early and high growth

  Businesses that align with our sustainable finance beliefs

  Surpassing or soon to reach $1m Annual Recurring Revenue
