Street Speed

The story of mergers and acquisitions in the financial technology (FinTech) sector has, as they say, “legs”. Yesterday we brought you news of a survey predicting much corporate activity in FinTech, and today sees the finalisation of an important deal the market already knew about. It’s symptomatic of the fast-growing, rapidly changing and very exciting sector in which Money&Co., as a peer-to-peer (P2P) online business lender, operates. We leave the telling of the tale to our friends at P2P Finance News.

Below is an extended excerpt from the story.

“POLLEN Street Capital has completed its acquisition of a controlling stake in MW Eaglewood, creating one of Europe’s biggest alternative finance-focused investment managers.

“The deal, first announced in May, sees Honeycomb Investment Trust manager Pollen Street become the majority shareholder of the combined group, which has assets of around £2bn.
MW Eaglewood, which manages the fund P2P Global Investments (P2PGI), has been renamed PSC Eaglewood.

“P2PGI said the merger “combines the global reach, infrastructure and specialist platform knowledge of PSC Eaglewood with the relationships, track record and industry expertise of Pollen Street”.

“It previously stated that the portfolio will have greater exposure to sterling denominated assets and maintain exposure to a tighter group of marketplace lending platforms.”
