Huarui SmartLink Invests in London, UK FinTech Secondary Share Transaction
In Feb 2017, Huarui SmartLink completed an investment in London, UK FinTech Secondary Share Transaction through a Secondary transaction, with committed capital of GBP 28M. The asset is currently valued at GBP 940M (2025 Valuation), and has become one of the firm's key tracked opportunities within its global multi-asset allocation framework.
Open banking and digital payments regulation in the UK created attractive valuation dislocations in secondary transactions for scaled fintech platforms. Based on its assessment of industry trends, valuation levels, and market liquidity, the team continues to deepen research coverage and post-investment monitoring around this opportunity.
Most of the shares were sold gradually between 2019 and 2022 through follow-on financing windows, and the main exit was completed in 2024. In parallel, the investment also supports inclusive payments, compliant data-sharing, and more transparent retail financial services. This remains consistent with Huarui SmartLink's investment approach centered on long-term thinking, balanced risk-adjusted returns, and sustainable value creation.
