In a recent post on FxPro by Ron Finberg, he cites the fintech tends to watch during 2015, may they be “either high opportunities or stumbling blocks,” as “service-based investing,” robo investing (“anti-social trading”) and digital-based crowdfunding.
“Fintech was a great sector to be in during 2014, being the beneficiary of hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars of venture capital. The year ended with a bang, with alternative non-bank lenders LendingClub and OnDeck both going public,” observed Finberg. “Overall, the forces of momentum guiding the fintech sector are based on a perfect storm of emerging technology, public desire for financial transparency as well as government regulation beginning to favor capital market alternatives following the global financial crisis.”
