Feeling disruptive? If so, you may be interested in Kyle Caldwell’s article in the Telegraph, which looks at share plays offering investors a way into “disopruptive” sectors.

We monitor the fast-moving, high-octane world of the digital economy every day. As a FinTech company and a peer-to-peer (P2P) lender, we have to.

If a thing is worth saying once… well, it’s probably worth saying again.
