Dass man das bei einem Unternehmen, das sich überwiegend als Inkubator versteht, tun muss, steht für mich außer Frage – denn das ist je eigentlich das ordentliche Geschäft derartiger Unternehmen. Wenn man das machtr, kam in den letzten Jahren teilweise ein hoher Gewinn oder ein hoher Verlust je Aktie heraus, wie die Zahlen aus finanzen.net zeigen – mit entsprechenden Auswirkungen auf das jweilge KGV. Mit dem Gewinn von 2013 in Höhe von 5,72 je Aktie (bedingt durch den Verkauf der damals wertvollsten Beteiligung ICGCommerce) hätten wir momentan ein KGV von unter 3. In den beiden Jahren 2014 und 2015 hätten wir negative KGV’s gehabt. Und in 2016 werden wir durch den Verkauf von Govdelivery vermutlich wieder bei einem Gewinn pro Akite von ca. 3 Dollar landen – und damit verbunden mit einem KGV zwischen 4 und 5.
Actua: Die Aktie (in USD)
Chart 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 §
§Ergebnis je Aktie (unverwässert, nach Steuern) 0,42 1,28 0,75 0,64 5,72 -1,28 -2,59
§Ergebnis je Aktie (verwässert, nach Steuern) 0,42 1,26 0,74 0,63 5,72 -1,28 -2,59
http://www.finanzen.net/bilanz_guv/Actua
Ob eine Aktienbewertung über das KGV Sinn macht, ist daher die Frage. Unfug ist m.E. aus dem jeweiligen jährlichen KGV Schlussfolgerungen zu ziehen, wie die Ergebnisse für 2013 – 2016 zeigen. Wenn man den Weg über den Gewinn je Aktie unbedingt einschlagen will, muss man meines Erachtens einen längeren Zeitraum einbeziehen, z.B. welche Gewinne und Verluste in den nächsten z.B. acht Jahren (einschließlich des Betrachtungsjahres) jeweils anfallen könnten. Diese Zahl müsste man durch acht dividieren und hätte ein Schätzwert für den durchschnittlichen Gewinn je Akite für die nächsten acht Jahre. Eventuell könnte man diesen Gewinn noch um vier Jahre abzinsen, wenn man für heute eine akutelles KGV ermitteln möchte.
Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass da ein Wert für das KGV von unter 10 herauskommen würde, denn allein der Verkauf von VelocityEHS, der schon 2017, aber m.E. mit großer Wahrscheinlichkiet 2018 oder 2019 über die Bühne gehen wird, dürfte nach meinen Schätzungen mindestes einen Gewinn von 300 Millionen herbeiführen.
In 3494 bin ich da auf 130 Millionen gekommen, denen ich bei vorsichtiger Bewertung ein Multiple von 4 zuordne = 520 Millionen. Hier zähle ich noch 80 Millionen Cash hinzu = 600 Millionen als angemessene Marktkapitalisierung (die anderen Forderungen und Verbindlichkeiten heben sich nach meiner an der Bilanz orientierten Schätzung in etwa auf). Diese 600 Millionen m+üssen m.E. durch ca. 31,5 Millionen ergebnsiwirksame Aktiien (Actua hat 37 Millionen angegeben, ca.4,5 und noch einmal 1 Milion dürften zurückgekauft sein) dividiert werden = 19 Dollar pro Aktie.
Basis dieser Schätzung ist ein Multiple von "nur" 4, was sich aber änderen würde, wenn Bolt der vermutete Renner wird, und auch Foliddynamix hat man schließlich mit einem Multple von 6 vor zwei Jahren eingekauft. Und schließlich hat auch noch Velocity eine höhere Qualiität als Govdelivery, das aber trotzdem mit einem Muttiple zwischen 3,5 und 4 verkauft wurde. Alles in diesem Absatz öAngeführte muss aber noch konkreter durch Fakten untermauert werden. Bis dahin dürfte bei $19 ein Deckel liegen.
Die kleineren Beteiligungen habe ich außen vor gelassen, weil ich bei den Core-Umsäzen von 100%-igen Beteiligungen ausgegangen bin, was nicht ganz zutrifft.
You can mine for insurance consumers and data (the gold). Popular mining companies include PolicyGenius and CoverHound, which help consumers buy insurance products at the lowest price.
Or, you can provide the pickaxes to manage new customers, data and processes. Our policy analytics software, RiskGenius, is an example of an InsurTech pickaxe.
You can discern whether an InsurTech company is a miner or pickaxe based on its disruption factor.
First, insurance is complicated. So far, the insurtech mining companies have focused on simpler products, like consumer insurance and small business insurance.With these products, the miners are competing on price and user experience. The risks are understood and, as a result, carriers issue the same policies.But if miners want to move into more complicated insurance, they will have to leverage complicated risk analysis solutions. Zenefits is an example of what happens when an InsurTech company unsuccessfully tries to move from small business to enterprise clients
Second, most insurance carriers still have broken technology systems that need fixed. InsurTech miners are actually exacerbating the technology problems created by legacy insurance technology.Carriers struggle to connect to miners’ software, which is reportedly one of the reasons Google Compare ran into problems. Only the pickaxes will be able to fix legacy software problems.
Finally, if the miners are successful, then telematics, the Internet of Things and digital purchases will lead to more data. Insurance carriers and brokers — and the miners — will want to leverage this data. The data can’t be leveraged without technology investment. The pickaxes are already making these investments and will help traditional insurers and miners utilize new areas of data.
The most valuable company, though, will figure out how to combine gold (insurance data) with a powerful pickaxe (machine learning) to identify valuable insights that go beyond actuarial tables used by traditional insurance professionals.

Concorde Investments deploys FolioDynamix wealth management tech
18 May 2016
Detroit-based Concorde Investments, one of Inc. Magazine’s “Fastest Growing Companies” for 2015, announced the completion of an ongoing integration project to include FolioDynamix within its end-to-end wealth management technology solution.
For the past four years, Concorde has been focused on growing AUM and attracting progressive independent advisors to continue to expand its regional footprint. The company has succeeded by empowering advisors to engage with, and solve for client needs by putting a strong technology matrix in place. This required working with a solution provider who was willing to collaborate on innovation and development.
Concorde approached FolioDynamix to explore solutions in late 2014. The goal was to develop a more robust end-to-end asset management platform with complete asset aggregation and performance reporting capabilities, as well as a compliance overlay and a data repository. Along with the technology need, Concorde brought a willingness to collaborate in discussions, pilot programs, beta testing, and more—to be the “guinea pig”, so to speak, for an expansion of the FolioDynamix core capabilities. FolioDynamix—known for an end-to-end trading, rebalancing, and portfolio accounting technology solution—was the ideal partner for Concorde based on its focus on innovation and a willingness to expand and develop a solution tailored for Concorde’s needs.
“Beyond the typical price, value and service criteria of a selections process, we were seeking partnerships and relationships more than just service providers,” says Kelly Knight, COO of Concorde and the lead on building the technology roadmap. “It has been hugely important for us to build relationships in which Concorde can be as contributive to that firm’s growth as that IT partner would be to ours. This philosophy has worked well for us. As a growing BD/RIA our budget is smaller, and it’s our work ethic, experience and commitment that can make a meaningful difference to any partner we work with.”
FolioDynamix is now a core component of Concorde’s innovative technology offering—a huge selling point in their recruiting value proposition. The modular nature of FolioDynamix’s solution allowed Concorde to leverage the specific features they needed to integrate with third-party solutions (such as Docupace Technologies for account opening and RedTail for CRM). Concorde is pleased with the results of the integration to date—but even more excited about the future.

SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 22, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Financial technology industry leaders and innovators, Scivantage® and FolioDynamix, today announced a joint partnership from the main stage of the FolioDynamix Client Conference in San Antonio. The firms plan to deliver an enterprise-grade digital advice solution allowing advisors to collaborate with clients of all account sizes. This becomes especially important in light of new DOL Fiduciary Rule guidelines, which can make advising small-but-growing investors problematic.
The solution leverages Scivantage’s existing digital wealth management platform and integrates it with FolioDynamix’s industry-leading managed accounts platform. This delivers an enterprise-grade, unified digital experience that includes digital investment and robo alongside full service, managed account, self-directed brokerage, and multi-channel solutions.
FolioDynamix is a strong advocate for the seamless pairing of technology and investment advice. The new solution is an example of this approach. It provides an integrated client portal with additional self-service options, allowing advisors to offer both automated solutions and collaboration opportunities to their client base

FolioDynamix Announces Collaborative Partnership with PIEtech Enhancing Comprehensive DOL Solution
MoneyGuidePro becomes a key best-of-breed partner in the
FolioDynamix “Fiborg Constellation”
FolioDynamix, a leading provider of wealth management technology and advisory services, today announced a collaborative integration with PIEtech, the creator of MoneyGuidePro, the award-winning financial planning solution. MoneyGuidePro will become a key component of the “Fiborg Constellation,” introduced by FolioDynamix to help firms grow, automate key functions, and meet DOL Fiduciary Rule requirements.
FolioDynamix launched the concept of FiborgSM earlier this year in response to the dual conversations in the marketplace about the disruptive impact of robo-advisors on traditional financial advisory business, and the increasing regulatory pressure brought by the DOL Fiduciary Rule. Fiborg—a play on cyborgs, technology-enhanced humans—encourages the adoption of technology to enable and empower advisors, automating non-revenue generating activities and providing the tools for an advisor to maximize time spent collaborating with clients. FolioDynamix, which offers an end-to-end wealth management platform as well as a suite of advisory options, is delivering a solution to help advisors and firms manage DOL Fiduciary Rule requirements by leveraging the core platform integrated with several carefully selected best-of-breed partners: the “Fiborg Constellation.” Each partner will be tightly integrated with the core technology to ensure a seamless advisor and investor experience.

CoverHound Raises $33.3M, Expands To Insurance Comparisons For Businesses
Posted Sep 22, 2015 by Ingrid Lunden (@ingridlunden)
CoverHound, a site that lets people search for, compare and buy auto and property insurance both through its own site announcing that it has raised a further $33.3 million in funding as it adds one more large and strategic investor to its list of backers. This brings the total funding raised by the company to date to over $53 million, after raising a smaller Series B earlier this year.
Insurance giant ACE Group is leading the Series C investment, and CEO Keith Moore tells TechCrunch values the company at around $103 million, after the company hit a milestone of 50,000 policies sold in the last two years, growing 170% in the last 12 months.
https://techcrunch.com/2015/09/22/coverhound-insurance/
CoverHound is far from alone in targeting the small business market online.
Investors including XL have given $12.2 million to fund Embroker, an insurance broker offering a cloud-based risk and insurance management system for small and mid-sized businesses. Embroker promises to give its customers tools to buy, compare, analyze, manage and store all of their insurance policies and data in one place.
Insureon, an online agency for small business insurance, raised more than $30 million last October. In July, it launched a managing general underwriting agency with capacity from various syndicates at Lloyd’s to handle wholesale business.
Seattle-based AssureStart, backed by the American Family Mutual Insurance Co., which sells to business with fewer than 30 employees, is backed by the American Family Mutual Insurance Co.
Insurer Hiscox has been expanding its online platform for small businesses for a number of years.
Last December, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which owns GEICO, created Berkshire Hathaway Direct Insurance Co. to sell insurance directly to businesses over the Internet. The new insurer planned to initially focus on workers’ compensation and business owners’ package policies.
Two other recent InsureTech entrants in the small business insurance space include CoverWallet and Next Insurance.
In April, American International Group, Bermuda-based Hamilton Insurance Group and affiliates of hedge fund firm Two Sigma Investments announced plans to create a technology-enabled insurance platform for sales to the small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) market.
A number of independent agency carriers have joined the TrustedChoice.com online commercial insurance platform backed by the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America (Big “I”) to sell small business insurance.
Bolt has for several years been providing online access to personal and commercial lines products from national insurance companies, managing general agencies and wholesalers.
The small commercial lines market is both growing and increasingly competitive. A report from McKinsey & Co. predicts the competition in this market will intensify as more small business customers show they are open to buying via digital channels and as more large insurance carriers enter the field. While a segment of small commercial insurance buyers will always value independent agents, an increasing percentage are open to the direct route and may only be using agents to close a deal because direct binding isn’t readily available, according to the report.

Entscheidend wird für Bolt als eine Art Erfinder des Marktes sein, wie man sich gegen die Emporkömmlinge schlägt.
Trotz sehr guter Aussichten sind Prognosen sehr schwer. Amazon oder Google gibt es heute noch, Netscapoe oder Commodore aber nicht mehr.

Leveraging FolioDynamix technology, Bolton Global meets an underserved need
offering high-value advice to niche Latin American markets. And with a compelling overall value proposition, wirehouse advisors are taking notice...and coming onboard.
NEW YORK, NY – July 21, 2016 – Increasing numbers of advisors are leaving the wirehouse model to join independent firms who have built an infrastructure leveraging leading-edge technology tools. Bolton Global Capital, with headquarters in Massachusetts, is poised for significant growth as a result of this trend. With a compelling value proposition of high-touch service for advisors paired with powerful, flexible technology solutions, Bolton has seen an influx of new advisors joining the firm, most notably from Merrill Lynch. Bolton continues to significantly expand in the Latin American market, which is now underserved by the exit of major firms from the international space. This growing and loyal client base has proven a significant source of growth revenue for the fim as a whole.
Bolton has recently signed an agreement with technology solution provider FolioDynamix for trading, portfolio management, and advisory services. Advisors will be able to leverage the institutional-quality trading interface to manage the entire client lifecycle, from account opening to rebalancing; they will also have access to a series of managed account options that have undergone extensive due diligence review.
“FolioDynamix offered a degree of flexibility that was very attractive to us,” says Steve Preskenis, President of Bolton Global. “The trading interface and overall solution was exactly what our advisors were asking for; many come to us from a wirehouse background, and this technology actually offers a better experience than what they were used to.”
Bolton plans to rollout the FolioDynamix platform over the next two months. As a multi-custodial solution with an integration already in place with Pershing, Folio offers a seamless, efficient onboarding experience.
