Today, let's talk about our Match bond line (1% of the fund)!<\/p>\n

If the name Match doesn't ring a bell, I'm sure some of you are familiar with several of their brands. And who knows, you might have even met your better half on one of their apps. Fifteen years ago, only 3% of married couples met online, compared to 45% today.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Match is the pioneer of the online dating concept and the leader in the dating app market. The company owns Tinder, the world's most popular dating app, and other brands like Meetic, Hinge, OkCupid... (just to name a few).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are some key figures about Match:<\/p>\n

Generated $3.2 billion in revenue in 2022.<\/p>\n

Pays between 15% and 30% in commission fees (a huge amount!) to tech giants (Apple, Google) for each transaction made on their platforms, along with other operating costs.<\/p>\n

Generated approximately $830 million in operating profit.<\/p>\n

Has a new CEO, Bertrand Kim, who is highly focused on cost reduction and streamlining the current business, with no major immediate development projects.<\/p>\n

Boasts globally recognized brands.<\/p>\n

Faces scrutiny from regulators regarding the monopolies of Apple and Google: Google announced a few months ago that it would reduce its commission rate from 30% to 15%, and the Digital Market Act, effective in Europe in 2024, will require tech giants to allow alternative payment systems.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, an interesting profile offering an attractive yield of 7.5% in USD.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
