Investment Thesis
  • Proprietary trading algorithms and risk models built over decades create significant competitive advantages
  • Regulatory moat extremely high - takes years to obtain banking licenses and meet capital requirements across 95+ countries
  • Network effects in institutional markets - clients stay for access to deep liquidity pools and prime brokerage services
  • High switching costs due to integrated custody, settlement, and reporting systems deeply embedded in client operations
  • AI enhances existing capabilities (risk management, surveillance) but doesn't disrupt core regulated banking functions
  • Treasury and Trade Solutions sticky due to multi-year implementation cycles and operational complexity
