Why We Own Match Group (Ticker: MTCH)

This is our monthly Arch Capital episode. About once a month we will publish an episode that covers a company in the Arch Capital Investors Fund. These episodes will be modeled after our Not So Deep Dive episodes and will also be available on YouTube.

Match Group Inc. (MTCH) operates popular dating apps, including Tinder, experiencing strong user engagement and revenue growth, but facing competition and regulatory risks associated with user data privacy and security. Brett and Ryan dive through Nelnet and outline the investment thesis for why we own the company in our Arch Capital limited partnership.
