#10 - Paul Allard (Impak Analytics) - Measuring Impact to Redirect Capital for a Better Planet
For the Finscale MASTERCLASS "FinTech - Back to Basics", it's here : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocWithout necessarily focusing on a finance lesson this episode, we have a top-notch course worthy of Thomas Piketty on the financialization of the economy and the related consequences. This discussion introduces us to the concept of positive and negative impact related companies and the ways in which Impak Analytics measures it.
We look at the methodology applied to listed and issuer companies, as well as those that are not listed. This scale-up established in Canada and France counts Société Générale and Altalurra Ventures among its investors. Paul explains the nature of the partnership with the French financial group and how the relationship was formed.
He also reflects on the shift from B2C to B2B and outlines the value proposition around the mission he and his team have set for themselves: to deploy the most rigorous impact analysis of the financial sector to redirect capital towards the economy with the most positive impact on our planet.
We also dive into Impak Analytics' relationships with corporations and different stakeholders in the ecosystem, such as consultants.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, hosted by Audiomeans©. Visit the Privacy Policy of Finscale and Audiomeans for more information.

#9 - Bradley Duke (ETC Group) - Invest in crypto via ETPs
For the Finscale MASTERCLASS "FinTech - Back to Basics", it's here : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocIt's been a long time since we covered financial markets. This time, we deep dive into crypto ETPs.
In this episode, I sit down with Bradley who explains the fundamental differences between ETNs, ETFs and ETCs. You'll discover that what the ETC Group has deployed is both a challenge from a regulatory perspective and from the back office of an organization point of view.
Created a few years ago, the ETC Group already released ETPs and ETFs on various crypto currencies and listed its products on various European exchanges such as Xetra and Euronext. We take a closer look at the process from prospectus creation to listing.
We also discuss the key role of the providers and especially that of the custodial and liquidity providers. Finally, we dive into the rise of these products that clearly straddle two worlds. I have tried to break it down as much as possible!
A great episode for those with a key interest in financial markets!Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, hosted by Audiomeans©. Visit the Privacy Policy of Finscale and Audiomeans for more information.

#8 - Johan Brenner (Creandum) - Can diversity give rise to more unicorns?
For the Finscale MASTERCLASS "FinTech - Back to Basics", it's here : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocI’m sure you know by now how much I enjoy interviewing the VC community. They are incredibly nimble and have a strong entrepreneurial spirit that sets them apart. For this episode, I had the unique pleasure of chatting with Johan who is one of Europe's most renowned names in venture capital investment.
Johan has achieved incredible success in the world of venture capital and entrepreneurship--and now he's here to tell us all about his journey with Creandum.
As diversity is a top priority for me and my podcast, I had to discuss this with Johan. We delved into the lofty diversity goals that his venture capital firm has set, particularly in relation to women on their teams and investments.
Johan tells us about the implementation of their diversity index, offers a wealth of relevant data and provides us with tangible results to date.
We couldn't pass up this VC's flagship investments in FinTechs such as Swan and Trade Republic.
Out of the 120 companies that Creandum supports, it's no surprise that several have become unicorns.
We discuss their unique selling proposition (USP) as well as the positioning of the manager in European ecosystems.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, hosted by Audiomeans©. Visit the Privacy Policy of Finscale and Audiomeans for more information.

For the Finscale MASTERCLASS "FinTech - Back to Basics", it's here : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocThe crucial role investor relations plays in the VC world is just one of the topics we dive into with Daniel during this episode.

What we find out is that there's clearly a parallel to start-up funding rounds and it’s no laughing matter when it comes to institutional investors.
Daniel gives us a behind-the-scenes look at this Austrian based VC's modus operandi, the tools they use, how their various offices operate, and how it all comes together.
And finally, we talk about their investment thesis and unearth some of the gold nuggets in their portfolio.

#6 - William J. Kelly (CAIA Association) - All about alternative assets
For the Finscale MASTERCLASS "FinTech - Back to Basics", it's here : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocWe take a step back to understand what's taken place in private markets, in particular private equity.
You’ll not only discover that this asset class was almost non-existent 40 years ago but also be treated to a discussion on the main principles of diversification and the evolution of a pension fund's asset allocation.
This topic is important because we know that there are huge challenges when it comes to accessing this asset category. We are therefore talking about financial education but also about tokenization.
We delve into ESG and Bill's views about how hard it is for asset managers to implement its principles.
Finally, we talk about the CAIA Association, their programmes and alumni, and their initiatives, which will give you deeper insight into how education and recruitments in Tech’ are key to the development of this asset class.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, hosted by Audiomeans©.
