Market Selling Smart Money

As we approach the end of the year, and despite the challenges that we continue to experience due to the ongoing pandemic, we reflect on what has been another very successful and busy 2021 for SmartMoneyMatch with enormous growth.

The growth was mainly in the investment matching platform, the service provider directory, and the event calendar. In these areas, SmartMoneyMatch offers the biggest platforms globally in the B2B investment/finance industry.

Some highlights are:

•  On the investment platform SmartMoneyMatch.com/investments mainly the non-liquid asset classes like private equity, hedge funds, and real estate, as well as equity have a strong deal flow, but there are also other asset classes like multi-asset, fixed income, and insurance-linked securities (ILS).

• The investment topics sustainability and impact investing (e.g., clean energies) are also in high demand. 

• For the investment vehicles direct as well as fund investments are popular. For funds, mainly the UCITS (for retail distribution) and the AIFMD frameworks (for alternative investments) are frequently used. 

• The service provider directory is the only one of its kind now with more than 54k service providers. Most demand is for experts in the area of law & compliance, followed by consulting (including wealth management), FinTech, sales & marketing, banking, ICT, fund services, HR & Accounting, Due Diligence, and insurance services.

• The business directory has grown to 70k organizations.

• The job board and the investor directory also gained clear momentum.

• The leading cities for users are London, Zurich, and New York, and the leading countries are the US, the UK, Switzerland, Germany, and France.

• SmartMoneyMatch.com/events has established itself as the world's biggest event calendar for specialized events related to investments/finance. It shows strong growth in the number of visitors and events published. 

• We have built an event platform and started an event series with The SmartMoneyMatch Capital Introduction Summit, The SmartMoneyMatch Fall Summit, and The SmartMoneyMatch Year-End Summit that were very successful for attendees and sponsors and we will continue with the SmartMoneyMatch Winter Summit on February 22nd and 23rd.

• We also have the event platform available for our users at no charge, perfectly suitable also for hybrid or in-person events like MONEY - The Swiss Finance Summit.

We look forward to working with you again in 2022 as we continue our mission to connect the global investment community.

From all of us at SmartMoneyMatch, we wish you a healthy and joyous holiday period and a happy new year!

Best wishes,

Martin Signer   
Managing Director
