Developing an institutional trading platform, we recognize that adoption on the buyer's side lags behind that on the seller's side. Despite regulatory uncertainties and lingering questions about interoperability and integrations, tokenization is gaining momentum, and the trajectory is becoming more pronounced for asset offerings. 💡 Recalling insights from a panel on The Principles of Wealth Management, featuring Jenny Johnson, CEO of Franklin Templeton, during ADFinanceWeek (ADFW); she highlighted private markets and customization as significant Wealth and Asset Management trends. 📝 The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) report (https://lnkd.in/dvg_2JHZ) projects that by 2027, alternative assets will constitute about 22% of AUM in the asset management industry, generating 55% of revenues. Private markets, as an untapped part of alternative investments, can, in turn, expand investment strategies tailored to the needs of investors, ultimately contributing to the flourishing of the investment firm. 👩🎨 👳♂️ 👨💻 Customization is all about enhanced, all-asset class investment opportunities. The challenge lies in making this a reality for fund management, considering the multitude of information and operations required for a liquid, efficient, and scalable process that adheres to regulatory requirements. We believe in a future driven by blockchain technology, asset tokenization, programmable logic, and smart contracts. In this future, we foresee personalized investment portfolios at scale, with simplified order execution and settlement processes in an asset-agnostic manner. Automated real-time portfolio rebalancing across blockchain networks will be normalized in this envisioned future. Establishing new, interconnected infrastructure can streamline portfolio building and management. This technological shift has the potential to revolutionize the wealth management business by fundamentally redesigning portfolio access, assembly, and management. The industry's aim is to identify a technology approach enabling a wealth manager to easily construct, deploy, and automatically manage model portfolios at scale, spanning traditional and alternative assets. This facilitates a seamless investor experience with enhanced transparency. ________ 📨 If you have thoughts on this, we welcome your input and are more than happy to discuss frameworks and PoC projects with industry participants.
