This work studies the effect of the sustainability profile of FinTech companies on the firm (market value and book value) as the factors that add value to investors and motivate their evolution in markets are still unknown. Using the KBW and Nasdaq FinTech Indices, and the NASDAQ Insurance Index (IXIS), we composed a panel of 95 companies over a 10-year period (2010-2019) with economic-financial variables and data about green certificates and sustainability indices. The applied methodology is based on dynamic (GMM-SYS) and static (PCSE) panel data models. Our results show that the market value of FinTech companies is positively driven by an CSR report being issued, the position in the CSR RepTrak, company size and board size. In contrast, the number of green certificates, particularly their position in the Green Ranking, is negatively related to their market value. Surprisingly in the most transparent companies, the direction of the variables effect evidenced for the book value per share is the opposite to market capitalisation.this work has been partially supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under the research project PID2020-117792RA-I00ElsevierFacultad de Administración y Dirección de EmpresasDepartamento de Economía y Ciencias SocialesCentro de Investigación de Ingeniería EconómicaEuropean Institute of Innovation and TechnologyEIT Climate-KICAgencia Estatal de InvestigaciónRepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20222022-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/184792reponame:RiuNet.
