Hey guys, thanks for taking my questions. So looking at the growth for the rest of the year, I imagine Velocity and GovDelivery should maintain their roughly 20% organic growth. But [folks dig a bit] deeper into BOLT and Folio, they both had zero growth this quarter, but both had good bookings. Should we look at their growth being in the 10 to 15% range for the next two quarters? Or is that aggressive? I'm just trying to get a sense of how those two [core] for those businesses should scale for the rest of this year, and then into next year?
--------------------------------------------------
Kirk Morgan, Actua - CFO [12]
--------------------------------------------------
Yes, we would really all four of the businesses revenue in the second half of the year to be growth percentages that are higher than what we've experienced in the first half, Jeff. I think it will be more dramatic relative to BOLT and Folio in terms of their revenue growth that we expect in the - where they've been flat essentially. We expect that obviously to accelerate in the second half, reflect in the bookings that we've been seeing. But GovDelivery and Velocity should see some uptick as well. So it's really across the board.

bei Foliodynamix exzellent sind:

The adviser industry continues evolving as innovation and new technology disrupts the status quo. According to Jefferson National’s second annual Adviser Authority study, tapping the power of technology is one of the clearest distinctions of the most successful advisers and most affluent investors — and all advisers should take note.

This year’s study again shows that the most successful RIAs and fee-based advisers are forward thinkers, marketing innovators and technology adopters. This innovative mindset is driving change in our industry — and all advisers at every level can capitalize on this knowledge to build a more scalable and profitable practice and create a more enduring franchise.

zwar eine große Rolle und verursachen über den Verwässerungseffekt hohe Kosten - aber das ist bei kleinen Tech's unvermeidlich und nötig. Und die Kosten dieser Verwässerung müssen in jedem Quartal nach den Rechnungslegungsvorschriften erfasst werden, wie auch der letzte Satz des von mir zitierten Textes zeigt:"Equity-based compensation is included in operating expenses, primarily in the line item “General and administrative” in Actua’s Consolidated Statements of Operations." Wenn Ihr direkt im Anschluss an den zitierten Text weiterlest, könnt Ihr feststellen, dass da schon einige Milliönchen zusammenkommen.


Equity based compensation awards may be granted to Actua employees, directors and consultants and certain employees of its consolidated businesses under Actua’s 2005 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”). Generally, the awards vest over a period from one to four years or based on the achievement of performance-based or market-based conditions, and expire eight to ten years after the grant date. Most businesses in which Actua holds equity ownership interests also maintain their own equity incentive compensation plans. As of June 30, 2016 , Actua had 1,836,553 shares of Common Stock reserved under the Plan for possible future issuance.

Actua may issue the following types of equity-based compensation to its employees and non-employee directors (1) restricted stock and restricted stock units (often subject to performance-based or market-based conditions), (2) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), (3) stock options, and (4) deferred stock units (“DSUs”). Actua’s grants of equity-based compensation are approved by its Board of Directors ("Board") or the Compensation Committee of its Board. Equity-based compensation is included in operating expenses, primarily in the line item “General and administrative” in Actua’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

die Fakten der extrem aktionärsfeindlichen Management Vergütung durch Meldung meiner Beiträge zu negieren, funktioniert nicht. Nach Verifizierung der Quelle sind sie wieder freigeschaltet worden. Gegen Fakten kommt auch Libuda nicht an, daher bleibt Actua ein Hochrisikoinvest im Gegensatz zu Hypoport, wo die Managementvergütung außerordentlich aktionärsfreundlich ist, wie man dem GB 2015 entnehmen kann.

denn so wäre, aus einem weitgehend schuldenfreien auf vier Beinen stehenden Investment ein Hochrisikoinvest macht, ist für mich nicht nachvollziehbar - schon gar nicht wenn ein Vergleich mit einem extrem spezialisierten Teilweise-Fintech angestrengt wird, der neben konjunkturellen Risiken zusätzlichen gefährlichen Spezialrisiken ausgesetzt ist (Rückgang der Umschuldungen durch verlängerte Zinsbindungsdauer, Wegfall von Geschäft durch Verkürzung der Laufzeiten und Direktvergabe von Krediten durch angesprochene Kreditinstitute, die Kredite jetzt fristenkongruent aus der eigenen Passiva finanzieren können).  

"FolioDynamix revenues were flat for the quarter. We attribute this to the loss of a large customer last year in Q2, as well as longer lead times to get our largest clients up and running. 8.0 will help solve this issue and revenue growth will begin to grow starting in Q3. Similar to BOLT, year-to-date bookings for the period were strong, adding approximately $2.9 million and $1.5 million in the second quarter in new annually recurring revenue. Based on our strong pipeline, we expect to see increased bookings and revenue momentum in the second half of the year.

FolioDynamix signed four deals in the quarter, one of which was a large, 7-figure a year deal. The Company has also gotten excellent feedback on 8.0; a new improved version of the platform from both industry consultants as well as customers. We believe this is driving some of the bookings momentum we are experiencing. To date, approximately 40% of Folio customers have migrated onto the new platform and the transition has gone very smoothly.

Finally, regulatory assets under management at the end of Q2 were $5.3 billion versus $5.1 billion at the end of Q1. This is an area we will be aggressively focused on growing in the second half of the year.

the revenues of VelocityEHS

Jeff Van Rhee, Craig-Hallum - Analyst [28]
--------------------------------------------------
OK. And then Velocity, I think you said the organic growth was 21%. Looks like some deceleration there. They've obviously been a powerhouse in terms of driving growth. And I think you commented that you expect to see some acceleration going forward. But at this point, if you look at the sales organization, can you just talk a bit about the percentage growth that you've seen there.
What's going on in terms of both sales head and then productivity per rep?
--------------------------------------------------
Walter Buckley, Actua - Chairman, CEO [29]
--------------------------------------------------
Jeff, it's a couple dimensions for the [collection]. If you look at their SaaS revenue growth on a quarter-to-quarter basis both in Q1 and Q2 is in the 26, 27% level. Why growth has slowed down a little bit in the first half is really sort of one time or service revenue either around implementation, [a cam-i], or authoring. We think over time that'll come back to a more historic level, in the 20, 25% range. But if you really look at the core business, it's really growing at the 25 to 27% level.
And that's really where we think is the most important metric. And so that's - and we think that the one-time [push] will begin to pick it back up. And so that's one of the reasons why we feel good about the second half of the year with Velocity. The other key initiative - we've added probably 20 heads this year. But it's really, as we have three or four different [offerings] to sell to our customer basis, getting that cross sell, we're seeing that 25% of Gov's sales being [our] sales to just in customer [could] probably a little less than 10% of Velocity, and really driving that is a huge lever for us from a productivity standpoint. And we're still early on that, so I don't want to get the cart before the horse. But it's a huge area of focus for us.

EMBRACE DIGITAL TO IMPROVE  CITIZEN EXPERIENCE The manner in which consumers interact with commercial online businesses  is changing their expectations of government services.

TODAY’S DIGITAL CONSUMER  has high expectations for access to answers and information. In this world of Siri and Google, citizens expect to be able to access services from government agencies the same way they access services from private sector companies like Uber. According to the American Customer Satisfaction Index Federal Government Report, U.S. citizen satisfaction levels for the federal government are declining. They’re actually lagging behind the commercial industry. Public sector satisfaction hovers around 64 percent, compared to roughly 80 percent in the private sector. Citizens are demanding more from their government—82 percent of respondents said improving citizen experience should be a top priority for 2016. Though regulations and security often delay government technology adoption, several agencies are deploying defined solutions to help them connect with citizens in the most convenient way.

ein, immer mehr Anleger scheinen zu registrieren, was für ein fragiles Kartenhaus Actua ist. Auch in diesem Jahr vernichtet Actua weiter fleißig Kapital und Werte. Lässt sich alles schön am Aktienkurs ablesen.

Da ist man ungefähr so bewertet wie Hypoport.  

eher 1-2 $, zwar stimme ich dir bzgl. der Bewertung zu, aber man sollte noch einen Abschlag von 1-2 $ wegen des Kapitalvernichtenden Managements machen, dass sich zudem immer opulente Vergütungsprogramme gönnt, machen. Finde daher ein solcher Sicherheitsabschlag wäre gerechtfertigt. Bei 2$ könnte man dann auch einen kurzen Zock wagen.

für die ehrlichen Warnungen. Ich bin diesem Unternehmen auch auf den Leim gegangen. Habe aber jetzt alles verkauft und umgeschichtet. Lieber zu spät als nie...

Danke! :-)

How Interactive Text Messaging is Enhancing Health and Human Service Outcomea

The following blog post was originally published by Actua company, GovDelivery.
How can something as simple as a text message help people change their behavior for the better, or unlock access to new benefits?

Health and Human Service programs face many challenges, from enrolling new participants, to delivering program content, to reducing attrition and measuring outcomes. To help tackle these challenges, healthcare organizations around the country are using text messaging to inform, remind and connect with the public in ways that lead to healthier lives.

Why text? Ninety-two percent of Americans own a cell phone, and text messaging is the most widely-used feature. The average text is read in under five seconds and has an average response rate of 45 percent – that’s nearly eight times the engagement opportunity of email, which has a six percent response rate.

Die Krücke fällt heute gefühlt den 10 Tag in Folge und natürlich wieder bei einem freundlichen Gesamtmarkt. Bislang kann man feststellen: Ist der Gesamtmarkt positiv, fällt der Actua Kurs leicht, ist der Gesamtmarkt negativ, brechen sie völlig ein, aber fallen tun sie auf jeden Fall.  

What has been the biggest success in your firm to date?

The towering strength of FolioDynamix and the primary driver behind our extraordinary success is the powerful technology we built to automate highly complex model-based trading and rebalancing.  No other firm provides comparable flexibility and power to individual financial advisors and asset managers, and since in some firms up to 80% of advisory assets may be in advisor-directed programs, there is very strong demand for this capability across the industry.  Simply put, we solved a complicated problem and did it better than the other guys.

Similar innovate
will be behind our future growth, too.  With a singificant installed base for our full wealth management platform, we are well positioned to provide additional innovative capabilities that help our clients grow their businesses and surf industry trends.  We have numerous new initiatives and technologies “in the lab” now, so stay tuned.

http://www.finteknews.com/index.php/other-news/...lap-of-foliodynamix
 

What area/s of fintech do you believe will grow the most in the coming 5 years?

At FolioDynamix, we coined the term “fiborg” to encapsulate our view of the most impactful trend in our space – the merging of the human touch with technology.  For financial advisors, this means leveraging technology to make them better at what they already do and improve how they deliver their service and advice to their customers.  Robo is a poor analogy because robots generally replace humans, while cyborgs are technology-enhanced humans:  hence, the dawn of the fiborg.

This area of technology, enabling firms and advisors to adapt to or create new digital/analog hybrid service models, and enable online collaboration, innovative service models, asyncronous communications, and services that are enhanced by advanced analytics is the most significant growth area for fintech.  Most financial services are already delivered through financial intermediaries in some form, and providers need help re-imagining their service delivery models and the technology that supports them.  More significant changes are coming, and technology-enhanced service delivery is already table-stakes in other industries.  Traditional financial advisors are behind the curve, but as this segment co-opts the experimental technolgies pioneered by early-stage robo advisors and other innovators, the industry will blossom and grow as winners rise and find ways of serving digital natives while those that fail to adapt are left behind.

Just What the Customer Ordered: Insurance Tech Aims to Improve Product Pricing and Selection
As reported previously in our four-part blog series on the fintech movement, insurance tech (insuretech) has witnessed incredible recent growth, setting a record pace in the first quarter of 2016. With first half funding clocking in at $1 billion, insuretech is well on its way to top growth in 2016.[i] Driven by strong customer trends toward ease of access and more customer-focused service, innovative startups are entering the P&C space, determined to pick up slack where incumbent property and casualty insurers are failing to meet the needs of today’s consumers, particularly in the areas of new products and pricing.
