This Week in Fintech

Signals: TWIF Index FTW Hello, Fintech Friends! When we first introduced the TWIF Index in July, it was underperforming the Nasdaq Composite. With just a couple of weeks left in the year, the TWIF Index is up 57.2%, while the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 are up 36.9% and 30.3% respectively. We wanted to create a simple, transparent index, that, perhaps, would not cover every public fintech company, but would provide a strong signal about the overall health of the industry. I think we have succeeded in our ambitio https://lnkd.in/eanMkVTY
