Business Insider: $19 billion investment fund ValueAct Capital, has been investing in companies where there's an opportunity to cut out the so-called middlemen.
Also known as intermediaries, middlemen help facilitate transactions between companies and customers. They can be agents, brokers, or wholesalers.
These go-betweens can in some cases be cut out of the equation, or disintermediated. Companies can save the money they otherwise would have paid out to those middlemen if they find a way to do business without them. This is a key trend that ValueAct has picked up on.
Here we have a hedge fund investing in new money technology. They are not whining and complaining about our socialist nanny banker.
