Investing in fintech: a market-first approach

At VEF, we take a market-first approach to fintech investing. While our portfolio spans sectors such as payments, secured lending, SME credit, wealth management, accounting SaaS, and embedded fintech, our investment decisions are always shaped by the distinct characteristics of each market. We recognize that fintech opportunities are not one-size-fits-all—what works in one market may not be applicable in another. Rather than relying on a broad investment thesis, we focus on where fintech can drive the most meaningful impact, considering local dynamics, regulatory environments, and consumer needs. In this video, hear our CEO, Dave Nangle, as he shares insights into the fintech opportunities shaping markets like Mexico, Brazil, and more.
