Financial
Technology
In 2008, financial institutions were spending just over $300bn (source: Celent) on technology. By 2020 this had nearly tripled to more than $800bn (source: Gartner), driven by seismic shifts in regulation, economic pressures and the emergence of new technologies.
Financial services are crucial for an efficient economic system, yet few truly
understand the complexity of the technology platforms that underpins the industry and the organisations that operate them.
For an investor to navigate this highly complex landscape and capitalize on the forces shaping its future, new ways of thinking, operating and executing have to be brought to the table.
A fully-integrated in-house combination of Investors, Operators and Innovators can help capture the unprecedented value opportunity that has been catalyzed in recent years, and will continue to accelerate through the decade ahead.
Motive Partners is a specialist private equity firm focused on building, backing and buying the technology companies that enable the financial economy.
