Here is what RiverPark Large Growth Fund has to say about SoFi Technologies Inc. in its Q3 2021 investor letter:
“SoFi is a neobank or digital bank, operating exclusively online without any physical branches. The company provides a comprehensive consumer finance product suite including credit cards, student loan refinancing, mortgages, personal loans, and automated investing. SoFi has a $2 trillion dollar market opportunity by taking share from incumbent banks (such as Wells Fargo and Bank of America), as the incumbents have first generation technology, and the younger generation generally prefer digital banks.
Last quarter, SOFI grew its customers by 113%, its total products sold by 123%, and its revenue by 101% and turned EBITDA positive. We expect the company to grow revenue by more than 30% annually for the next several years and grow its margin by cross-selling more profitable products—with low or no customer acquisition costs–and increasing scale, leading to profit growth of more than 50% annually for the foreseeable future. We know the SOFI management team well from previous positions over the past two decades and have great confidence in their ability to execute on this enormous growth potential.”
