Helvetia (Switzerland) Venture Fund takes stake in Zurich-based start-up Taxly
The Helvetia Venture Fund is investing in Taxly. The Zurich-based tax tech company
provides a simple solution for completing and filing tax returns. Prompted by specific
questions, the customer is guided through the process and ends up with a filled-out tax
return. The software was developed jointly with tax experts. A flat fee (CHF 25 up to age
25, CHF 49 for everyone else) is charged for completing a simple tax return. The fee is
higher for more complex tax cases such as property owners. Taxly also offers a B2B
model that allows tax advisers to use the Taxly software. The start-up was founded in
2019 and launched its own product range in February 2020 for the cantons of Aargau,
Basel-Land, St.Gallen and Zurich There are a lot of expats and students among Taxly's
users. Taxly aims to use funding from the financing round to further improve its offering
for the coming tax period and extend it to other cantons. In addition to the funding
investment made through the Venture Fund, Helvetia also aims to establish operational
cooperation with start-ups. Taxly offers some interesting link-ups here: for instance
under Helvetia's "Home" ecosystem, which Money Park, Switzerland's largest
independent mortgage and real estate specialist, is part of. Acquiring property always
throws up questions regarding tax and tax-optimized financing.
Executive Commentary
"With Taxly we are piloting an interesting complementary service for sections of our
customer base. On the other hand, our financing and real estate experts provide help
with tax-optimized property searches and financing", is how founder and CEO
describes the partnership.

LGIM (UK) launches first pure Hydrogen Economy ETF in Europe

Solution Description
Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) has announced the launch of the L&G Hydrogen Economy UCITS ETF, which provides investors with exposure to the
long-term investment opportunity offered by the transition to a low-carbon, hydrogen economy. This includes the technologies and firms that are enabling the production of
cheaper, clean forms of hydrogen and those that are expected to play an integral role in the hydrogen economy. It will build on and complement LGIM’s existing suite of
sustainable thematic ETFs, such as the L&G Clean Energy UCITS ETF and the L&G Battery Value-Chain UCITS ETF. As policy and economics start to align towards an
economy based on sustainable energy, LGIM has launched this strategy to provide investors with a precision tool to add exposure to the hydrogen economy value chain to their
clean energy investments. This hydrogen ETF can be used alongside the above funds to allow investors to increase exposure to the clean hydrogen economy alongside their
investments in clean energy generation and energy storage. By employing a dynamic, actively designed investment strategy by LGIM that leverages GlobalData’s unrivalled
proprietary database of companies engaged in the hydrogen industry, the ETF will seek to gain exposure to the full hydrogen value chain. This means companies with a
minimum market cap of $200 million, including electrolyser manufacturers, hydrogen producers, fuel-cell manufacturers, specialist mobility providers, fuel-cell component
suppliers, key industrial and utility companies, and others in the supply chain. The global drive to cut carbon emissions is progressing and for the hydrogen sector in Europe,
policymakers are encouraging these industries to switch to ‘green’hydrogen produced without fossil fuels, which could reduce up to 830 million tonnes of global CO2 emissions
according to IEA. This launch follows growing demand from clients and prospective investors, and aims to capitalise on the combination of low-carbon government policies,
technological advances, and cheaper components that is facilitating the growth of the hydrogen economy, which is expected to be worth $2.5 trillion in revenues and $11 trillion
in infrastructure potential by 2050.

Progressive (USA) Launches Flo Chatbot

Solution Description
Progressive’s iconic brand spokesperson, Flo, is a well-known personality in the hearts and minds of insurance customers. Progressive is launching a new text to
speech chatbot featuring Flo’s voice to create personal experiences for customers who are looking for insurance advice. The voice-enabled chatbot is an expansion
of the alliance between Progressive and Microsoft with the goal of streamlining the customer inquiry process while delivering differentiated digital experiences to
policy holders, meeting people wherever they are within their customer journey. Consumers and customers can ask Flo insurance related questions and will
experience the virtual Flo’s voice: it’s just as polite, reassuring and matter of fact as she is on Progressive’s advertising and social media. If you ask the virtual Flo,
“What is liability?” it will provide an answer and direct the inquirer to resources on Progressive’s website or to a trained insurance agent to help. Or if you ask for
an insurance quote, it will reply with a link to the company website with more information. Customers can also ask more light-hearted questions like, “Flo, can
you tell me a joke?” They will receive answers from the Azure AI-powered chatbot in Flo’s personality and voice. Flo has been Progressive’s spokesperson since
2008. Progressive created the original Flo chatbot with Azure AI capabilities including Azure Bot Service and Azure Cognitive Services in 2017 and now has
updated the Flo chatbot using the neural text-to-speech service , for a customized voice feature with Speech Service within Azure AI. Progressive recently deployed
the experience from the existing chatbot architecture that allows access to the chatbot via multiple endpoints. The Flo voice experience is currently available on
the Google Assistant app on cell phones and enabled smart speakers. Progressive is continuing to expand the experience and expects soon to enable an auto
insurance quote within the experience itself. Expansion to more voice-enabled endpoints is also under consideration.

The Zurich-based tax tech company provides a simple solution for completing and filing tax returns. Prompted by specific questions, the customer is guided through the process and ends up with a filled-out tax return. The software was developed jointly with tax experts. A flat fee (CHF 25 up to age 25, CHF 49 for everyone else) is charged for completing a simple tax return. The fee is higher for more complex tax cases such as property owners. Taxly also offers a B2B model that allows tax advisers to use the Taxly software. The start-up was founded in 2019 and launched its own product range in February 2020 for the cantons of Aargau, Basel-Land, St.Gallen and Zurich There are a lot of expats and students among Taxly's users.

This includes the technologies and firms that are enabling the production of cheaper, clean forms of hydrogen and those that are expected to play an integral role in the hydrogen economy. It will build on and complement LGIM’s existing suite of sustainable thematic ETFs, such as the L&G Clean Energy UCITS ETF and the L&G Battery Value-Chain UCITS ETF. As policy and economics start to align towards an economy based on sustainable energy, LGIM has launched this strategy to provide investors with a precision tool to add exposure to the hydrogen economy value chain to their clean energy investments. This hydrogen ETF can be used alongside the above funds to allow investors to increase exposure to the clean hydrogen economy alongside their investments in clean energy generation and energy storage. By employing a dynamic, actively designed investment strategy by LGIM that leverages GlobalData’s unrivalled proprietary database of companies engaged in the hydrogen industry, the ETF will seek to gain exposure to the full hydrogen value chain. This means companies with a minimum market cap of $200 million, including electrolyser manufacturers, hydrogen producers, fuel-cell manufacturers, specialist mobility providers, fuel-cell component suppliers, key industrial and utility companies, and others in the supply chain. The global drive to cut carbon emissions is progressing and for the hydrogen sector in Europe, policymakers are encouraging these industries to switch to ‘green’hydrogen produced without fossil fuels, which could reduce up to 830 million tonnes of global CO2 emissions according to IEA. This launch follows growing demand from clients and prospective investors, and aims to capitalise on the combination of low-carbon government policies, technological advances, and cheaper components that is facilitating the growth of the hydrogen economy, which is expected to be worth $2.5 trillion in revenues and $11 trillion in infrastructure potential by 2050.
