During November, we visited India and experienced that India is still heavily dependent on cash payments. One of our conclusions is that in India competition in the payment sector is fierce and challenging for Mastercard and Visa but it is too early to declare defeat for the networks and solid growth opportunities remain for them as well. India is a very interesting example of what government involvement can do to the profitability of financial services businesses. We expect many interesting investment opportunities but will also keep an eye on early signs of competitive pressure. Portfolio related news came in the form of the bid for TD Ameritrade by Charles Schwab. Interestingly, the company that started the price war in online brokerage ultimately benefited from the resulting stock price decline for the whole sector.

Robeco Global FinTech Equities integrates ESG factors into its investment process by analyzing the impact of financially material ESG factors to a company’s competitive position and value drivers. We believe that this enhances our ability to understand existing and potential (long-term) risks and opportunities of a company. The impact of material ESG factors can be positive or negative, reflecting risks or opportunities, that ensue from a company’s ESG analysis. If ESG risks and opportunities are significant, the ESG analysis could impact a stock’s fair value and the portfolio allocation decision. In addition to ESG integration, Robeco also has an exclusion policy and conducts proxy voting and engagement activities focused on specific themes, such as climate change, aiming to improve a company’s sustainability profile.
Robeco Global FinTech Equities invests in stocks of companies all over the world which benefit from the increasing digitization of the financial sector. The selection of these stocks is based on fundamental analysis. Proprietary valuation models are used to select stocks with good earnings prospects and a reasonable valuation. Companies are individually assessed on the basis of industry trend analysis, in-depth discussions with corporate management, analysts and industry experts. Fintech comprises of several very strong underlying trends, which we believe will drive strong growth in an industry which has changed substantially since the global financial crisis. We believe this is reflected in the following trends: online payments will become mainstream, cash the exception; financial inclusion drives Asia to become the largest fintech hub; software is a key building block for the digitization of the financial sector.
Risk management is fully integrated into the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
Some very strong secular growth trends are expected to drive the fintech industry in the coming years, ranging from artificial intelligence and big data to core system replacement and a continued shift to electronic forms of payment and trading. Furthermore, M&A in fintech continues. Scale is the name of the game in payments and that mantra is global. Also, we see ongoing capex increases by large financial institutions. The realization of required investments into technology start to resonate sector-wide. Finally, one of our key beliefs is that Asia will become the fintech center of the world in terms of latest technologies and highest adoption levels. This is due to its lack of legacy, high penetration rates of smartphones, young population in several emerging markets and governments that view fintech as a way to achieve financial inclusion and a transition mechanism towards a more services-oriented economy.
