Investment Thesis for SoFi - $IPOE

 

Summary

Incumbent banks have been hamstrung coming out of The Great Financial Crisis
Legacy technology that is, in some cases, 50-70+ years old has limited the capability of incumbent banks to thrive in an increasingly digitally native world
Meaningful changes to regulatory capital ratios, reduced activity in profitable business areas such as trading, and increased operational oversight have all restricted their growth
Focus on short term return on equity has driven restrictive lending practices and poor customer experience
Shareholder returns and total market cap of the largest banks have been flat and, largely, decoupled from rates since Dec-2013
Innovation is emerging rapidly to disrupt these legacy banking practices
Since 2010, 296 “Neobanks” have been funded to disrupt core checking and savings account capability globally
Since 2010, more than $500B has been invested worldwide to disrupt the entire financial services ecosystem
Consumer expectations in FinTech are converging to what consumers already demand in other areas of the economy; driving a consumer migration from legacy products to new startups that offer:
Low/no fees
Fair and transparent lending
Multiple products and a “one stop shop” for a variety of a consumer’s financial needs
