Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Fineqia International Inc. (the “Company” or “Fineqia”) (CSE: FNQ) (OTC: FNQQF) (Frankfurt: FNQA) is pleased to announce its subsidiary, Fineqia Investments Limited, (“Fineqia Investments”) has taken an equity stake in Wave Financial Group, LLC (“Wave”).

Based in Los Angeles, Wave undertakes early-stage investment, asset management, treasury management and strategy consulting to enhance the adoption of blockchain technologies worldwide. The investment gives Fineqia a stake in a team with significant knowledge, expertise and a worldwide network.

Wave draws on the experience and discipline of early-stage investing of its CEO and founder David Siemer, who previously co-founded Wavemaker Partners (“Wavemaker”) that has nearly 15 years of investment and operating history. Wavemaker includes seven funds with Assets Under Management of $300 million and investments in more than 300 companies in the U.S. and Southeast Asia. David also founded Siemer & Associates LLC., a technology focused investment bank, which he sold to CEC Capital in 2016.

“We look forward to working with Fineqia to gain access to non-correlated, high-quality debt opportunities and continue growing our partnership as they continue to push the envelope around issuing Digital Asset backed bonds,” shared David Siemer, CEO.

The transaction follows Fineqia Investments’ earlier financings in blockchain insurance company, Black Insurance; blockchain-based asset registration and clearing solution, Nivaura Ltd; and premium finance Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider, PremFina Limited. Additionally, Fineqia has equity holding in Phunware Inc., a fully integrated enterprise cloud platform for mobile that provides products and services for brands worldwide.

“Wave’s network and knowledge of both start-ups and corporates pursuing blockchain and crypto strategies is a huge asset for Fineqia,” said Bundeep Singh Rangar, CEO of Fineqia. “It fits in with our core business of placing debt and equity securities including those backed by crypto assets, soon to be tested within the UK regulator’s sandbox program.”

Fineqia’s investment in Wave is in line with its strategy to invest in blockchain related companies that support its business model. Fineqia’s investment sum represents less than 5% of its market capitalisation.

DUBLIN, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BTY is proud to announce that Jack McInerney, Managing Director responsible for Infrastructure Advisory globally and BTY’s Europe expansion, has joined the firm’s ownership group. This recognition highlights his exceptional leadership in driving BTY’s growth across North America and Europe over the past decade.

Under McInerney’s leadership, BTY has continued to evolve as one of the top-ranked advisory firms, delivering an extensive portfolio of over $100 billion in project investments across more than 200 deals in various sectors, including social infrastructure, renewables and clean energy, transportation, aviation, mobility, environment, and data and digital connectivity.

“Our success is rooted in fostering high-performing, integrated teams built on empowered and growth-oriented succession and mentorship,” said Jack McInerney. “We ensure clients benefit from the depth and breadth of BTY’s industry relationships, and the wealth of expertise across project, finance, and construction disciplines that we consistently deliver.”

McInerney has been instrumental in opening new sectors for BTY, establishing the firm’s reputation as a trusted advisor on complex, first-of-their-kind projects. These include landmark deals such as the Ontario Line RSSOM and Southern Civil Stations and Tunnel projects in Canada, LaGuardia Airport Terminal B and the I-4 Ultimate in the U.S., and the Higher Education Bundle 1 and Project Opus in Europe—one of the region’s largest transactions, involving the Dublin Convention Centre, and major telecom and healthcare assets across Ireland.

Toby Mallinder, BTY’s Managing Director, recognized McInerney’s accomplishments saying, “Jack exemplifies how we cultivate talent and maximize the value our approach delivers to clients in capital markets and asset management. His efforts have significantly propelled BTY’s growth by assembling a top-tier team with a unique, client-focused approach that spans every sector and delivery model in the global infrastructure landscape.”

Having joined BTY in 2011 and originally based in Vancouver, McInerney was appointed to spearhead the firm’s entry into linear infrastructure, with a particular focus on transportation assets and transit systems. McInerney and the team used this approach to rapidly expand BTY’s infrastructure client base across North America, and more recently, in Europe, where Dublin has become the firm’s launchpad for expansion in the region.

“This is an exciting new chapter for BTY,” added McInerney. “We look forward to sharing our new strategic direction with clients and industry partners, particularly our rapidly growing capabilities in the U.S., as well as renewables and energy, decarbonization, connectivity, operational services, and more.”
