Financial Technology (FinTech) has its origins in the 2008 Global Financial Crises where the Financial Markets collapsed, traditional banks and financial institutions came under heavy regulation and many white collar finance jobs were lost. The same talent created startups using disruptive technologies that made Banking far more economical to the masses – basically the digitalization of all processes like Commercial (SMB) Lending, P2P Lending, Raising Capital (Investment Funds, Robo advisory firms, even ICOs), Crowdfunding, Payments, Insurtech and RegTech to redefine and remove the inefficiencies that have prevailed in the past. In China, the technology company driven entry into financial services is called TechFins and originate from BAT (Baidu, Ant Group and Tencent) and GAFA (Google, Apple, Facebook/Whatsapp and Amazon) in USA while the Indian FinTech market is microfinance led using Aadhaar Pay technology for authentication and UPI-based micro payments.
The presence of an active capital market is a huge boost to economic growth. Significant growth is witnessed in the Indian capital in terms of value and volume of transactions. Traditional roles in Capital Market focused on analysis which involved studying financial statements, focusing on industry trends, economic data, and global trends to make decisions. There is a shift in investment firms to depend on data-driven decisions, trying to combine fundamental investing with quantitative models popularly referred to as Algo and Quant trading. Algo trading is the process of using a computer program to follow a set of instructions for place a trade to generate profits at a high frequency which is beyond the capacity of a human trader. The strategies developed are based on a set of pre-defined rules and are based on timing, price or quantity, or a model. Algo trading makes markets more liquid and makes trading more systematic by ruling out emotional human biases.
