The document discusses how APIs are fueling a financial technology (fintech) revolution. It outlines key economic, social, and technological factors driving this revolution, including the maturation of app development, adoption of cloud infrastructure, and availability of APIs. APIs are lowering costs and allowing newcomers to challenge traditional financial services incumbents. The future fintech ecosystem will be made up of API leaders in different categories that work together, lowering costs and improving customer experience. This interlocking API ecosystem will increasingly power new financial applications.

Creating a Successful API Program to Drive Digital TransformationPerficient, Inc.
API management is a driving discipline in the digital transformation movement that can unlock tremendous business value. Because APIs intersect at IT and the business, it’s important to understand how they can be used. APIs can connect inventory management with resource planning for better operational efficiency, integrate with partner organizations for increased sales, and push data to and from a mobile device for the connected enterprise and consumer. The core concepts of APIs are technical in nature, but their business applications are almost limitless.
Creating a successful API program goes way beyond choosing the right tool. The supporting components and disciplines (some tried and true and some emerging) around API management are a critical component of the comprehensive picture.
In this webinar, we discussed:
-The building blocks of a strong API program
-How to get executive buy-in
-Supporting components and disciplines of API management
-How APIs help to build a world-class digital business

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Hello Everyone
My name is Stephane Dubois. I am the CEO and founder of Xignite and I am going to spend the next 15 minutes to tell you why APIs are becoming the single most important factor that will revolution the financial services industry in the 10 years to come.
First I will give you a bit of background on Xignite so that you know where we are coming from.
They I will dig into the sources and drivers of the #fintechrevolution
Then I will discuss how critical APIs are going to be the for financial services industry
And finally I will try to pain how the world of the future may look like.
So a bit of background on Xignite.
We are the leader in Cloud-Based Market Data APIs.
We have the largest and most popular platform distributing financial market data via APIs from the cloud to applications.
Our platform has been running natively on AWS since 2008.
We were initially funded in 2006 and we have raised $16M and are just in the process of closing our C round.
We have 40 employees in San Mateo and Shanghai.
We have more than 1000 clients in 55 countries using more 1000 APIs which they call 30 billions time a month to pull data from more than 150 sources.
The problem we solve is simple:
Financial market data is a very complex world littered with legacy technologies that make integrating data with applications expensive, slow and painful.
We solve this problem by making market data easier than it has ever been.
Our collection of APIs is the most comprehensive of its kind.
We support multiple delivery methods making data easy to use and integrate including REST APIs, files, widgets and streaming.
We support every asset class, every data type, and every market.
Our Amazon based platform is the fastest and most reliable of its kind.
Our main differentiation is the ease of use of our APIs.
Our main value proposition is that we help our clients go to market quickly.
But don’t take my word for it, and just look at our client list.
The most innovative fintech companies like Wealthfront and Betterment.
The best software companies like Netsuite and Tibco.
The largest financial services companies like Wells Fargo and Schwab all use us to power their apps.
Let’s now look at what is fueling the fintech revolution.
Now we have in the front row of the phenomenon for a few years.
We have been an arms dealer in the process. Selling Molotov coktails.
We have had the privilege of powering some of the most innovative fintech companies from the early days.
And so we have a bit of a unique perspective on what caused it.
The causes are a combination of economical factors, social factors, and technological factors.
The first factor is economical.
The stock markets are an all time high.
This is the Dow and S&P as of Friday’s close.
This is not the cause. This is the catalyst of the revolution.
Things did not start exploding until the market reached significant levels.
The second factor is social
Social in the sense of demographics.
Society looks different now.
We have raised a generation of kids who only have patience for the instant.
If you cannot give them what they want right this minute, they will abandon you and your free trial.And they are lazy. If it’s not on their phone and not automated. Your are cooked.
This is the voice of revolt of the revolution. Back in 1999 it did not happen because there was no revolt.
The third set of factors is technological.
The last 15 years have seen of set of major shift that have transformed the landscape of finance and technology.
The first was the maturing of app development around open sources and the available of new development tools which dramatically cut costs of development down.
Then the scaling of the public cloud with Amazon first (which has 10 times the active processing power of all other clouds combined) with cut deployment and operation costs dramatically.
Then the coming of age of social networking which became a powerful customer acquisition tool which dramatically cut business ramp up and customer acquisitions costs.
And finally, the Dawn of APIS, which enables the firm to focus on its core business by offloading all non-critical activities to the API ecosystem.
Let’s focus on the last piece: The dawn of APIs.
Andy Rachleff, the Chaiman and Founder of Fintech Poster Child Wealthfront says it best.
Two of the most enabling part of his business were APIS: Market data APIs and Trading APIs.
APIs enabled the #fintechrevolution and will continue to do so more and more violently as they get used more broadly.
The impact is that by combining the benefits of those technologies, new companies—or large ones who step up to them—can achieve 100 times the velocity in 100 times less cost.
The combination of all those factors caused the #fintechrevolution.
So why are APIs so critical to finserv and fintech?
The factors we discussed have caused many revolutions within the industry.
We no longer think that banks are the only places you hold money?
We no longer rust banks more than we trust apple or google.
We are ready to get advice form machines, instead of people.
We no longer think that horizontal integration add values.
And we no longer thing that APIs are just toys used to build web sites and mobile app.
As to APIs, it used to be the case that market data APIs for instance were considered Toys by large firms, unable to power their very special business.
But they have enabled formidable competition who as instilled fear in the industry.
So they should take notice.
Financial Services are ripe for API disruption.
Their cost structures—based on a huge proprietary stack—are to high.
They have been too slow adopting the Cloud probably more interested in self preservation than true progress.
As a result they can’t innovate.
They can’t keep up with regulation.
And meanwhile. Silicon Valley is eating their lunch.
The next step with APIs is the API Ecosystem.
What does that look like?
First it is still a work in progress. Not fully formed.
It is made of thought
