Editor's Notes
- After 30 years of working in large wall street institutions I decided I wanted to do something more entrepreneurial and that was part of reshaping how investors access financial services
- When I started in the business you could make a living off of just providing some information and access Change is not new to our industry. We survived but did have to adjust even so market share was taken by new market entrants Information edge, trading edge—identifying opportunity earlier—way before going public. Regulation leveled the playing field further by taking away some of the information advantage—Europe only made insider trading illegal in the last 20 years! It’s a natural progression and we’ve adapted—pushed or by leading we’ve adapted. So where are things going now?
- With greater access to timely information while seeking alpha Clients are becoming increasingly self-directed And the competitive landscape is growing with digital entrants
- The good news is wealth is growing but we need to pay attention to the needs of our clients and their children Increasingly clients are looking to new channels—and desire for digital interaction goes across all ages and wealth bans around the world
- With FS being the least trusted of all industries globally, there is opportunity to meet to changing needs of clients—but what might enable that change? What about the timing of new entrants that are more transparent and engage clients
- How is change possible: the regulatory developments are supporting the changing needs of investors Jay: Note that the first version of JOBS Title III did not succeed. There is much talk now about the congress drafting an entirely new Title III framework. Stay tuned for details. May not be economically feasible. RegA+ under title 4 just came out. Some positive elements and hurdles within it. More to come on this in the coming weeks.
- We need to support client’s needs to be informed, engaged and transact digiually
- Given all of this, it’s not surprising that fintech is exploding How people consume financial services is changing and per the WSJ—don’t know top competitor in 10 years
- Passive Investing Trends Investors moving to ETFs indices (the ultimate passive investment) A staggering 86% of active large-cap fund managers failed to beat their benchmarks in the last year, according to an S&P Dow Jones Indices scorecard http://money.cnn.com/2015/03/12/investing/investing-active-versus-passive-funds/ Active Investing The market with more volatility is the kind of environment that has traditionally been the best for active managers to shine. Crowdfunding has the potential to increase entrepreneurship by expanding the pool of investors from whom funds can be raised beyond the traditional circle of owners, relatives and venture capitalists.
- This is no longer a theory. Hockey Sticks actually happen
- People are open to new ideas (NYT) Let’s talk a little about the timing of this trend and the emerging pattern of people being willing to invest their own money directly It’s just harder, not impossible, to generate alpha in the public market Does everyone running in to alternatives, particularly PE or VC solve the problem? Not easily, there is a problem to solve for Generating alpha is tough and getting tougher Efficient market theory Talent, enabled by powerful tools Insider trading Unfair trade practices High speed trading could get information faster so you have to act on it You have to get ideas earlier on, be great long term trend spotting, manage risk better
- But not so easy Dispersion of 10 year returns A lot of people are breathing a sign of relief—expertise still matters yes but let’s talk about performance drivers in the future Dispersion should narrow over time as PE markets become more efficient
- Problmes that need to be solved for before the crowd can invest and achieve great results What affects the vintage year for VC funds There are risks, but will it be riskier I had two questions: investors and entrepreneurs People are increasingly going to look for alternative asset classes but we all know it’s a risky game that also requires the ability to lock up money for long periods
- Estimize …Crowds are just investing wildly(?), they are learning how to work together to make better decisions
- People are increasingly taking matters into their own hands, and it’s happening globally The US & Europe lead but it’s happening everywhere Foreign exchanges of non public equity under development
- Offerings are still developing and it’s important to understand the difference Not all platforms have the same strategy
- But it’s no secret Some buying as many as a dozen companies
- 4 key themes in crowd sourcing—we combine all four Will have unmatched intellectual capital
- The big idea that attracted me and many others
- Danna: Our “crowd” frees us from being limited to the capabilities and expertise of our team. Our model is unique in leveraging the power of our crowd to maximize its potential to better serve our investors and entrepreneurs. This enables us to provide unprecedented diversity of opportunities, as will be reflected in the variety of channels, as well as unprecedented support to our companies post investment. (I haven’t yet figured out how to fully articulate this thought, but to me, the above is a key concept of our model with as yet untapped potential. If we format this, it could quite possibly be the foundation for how to leverage the crowd to enable anything, just like we designed a platform to fund great ideas. Enabling great initiatives/innovation, etc. Like I said – haven’t yet figured out how to fully articulate this…) Also - It sounds a bit kitschy but I can’t escape using “connectors” when describing the value add of our network. It is quite possible the biggest and most active part right now. Evelyn: We need to define our differentiators vis-à-vis our real competitors better. We are not competing with other crowdfunding platforms on deals – we are competing with other funds. Zach: Slide 8) I think as a reader that there are TOO many differentiators on this slide. With so many differentiators, you are essentially saying we are VERY different from what is out there. Maybe, you're just a different animal and you've lost the context and value of surrounding yourself in an existing field. Some of these things are understandable as stand-alone bullets. I'd like to see this more visually. Also, other companies you had in the previous slide do some of these things. Shai: 1) Differentiation (Slide 8): The items on this list are, IMHO, either: - generic and easy to claim - not sustainable when we start really scaling and addressing a more variant audience - not sustainable when its starts getting competitive for real - we don’t really have them Our main differentiator today is our brand (and Jon’s personal brand) and the whole Israel/start-up nation thing which are impactful to a certain audience and scale but not necessarily for our next step. You could also say our early entry and current size are adv but those could easily go stale. I think we need a deep discussion and process to distill what we want OurCrowd to be for our customers - why should they choose us…. 2) …which leads me to: There is very little discussion on the key strategic question IMO which is “as a potential customer, why should I put my money into ourcrowd?”. And going backwards from there “what do we need to do to address our potential customer’s pains/needs“ and going backwards from there "what are current/future customer pain/needs enthuse markets”…. 3) …which leads me to: I’m assuming that the quality of “product” we can supply (i.e deal flow and indirectly returns we provide) to customers is an important consideration in a customer choosing us. Very little discussion in the prez on how do we continue to secure “top deal flow” and what are the threats and opportunities there. Elan--Page 8 (titled key differentiators) – Does not mention that our model is based on carefully curated and diligenced deals that go through our professional investment team. You do have that in other places, but if this is the key differentiator slide, I think it should be there. This a key difference for us vs. many other platforms Gadi: Slide 8 is very good.
