17.40 – 18.00 Tokenisation – the next generation of investing

Asset management has long been touted as an industry ripe for innovation. The tokenisation of collective investments appears to be a natural evolution
to the traditional mutual fund model and would seemingly provide benefits to both fund managers and investors alike in the form of a fully digital, transparent and cost-effective product.
– How will tokenisation unlock new investment opportunities in the funds industry?
– Why is it important to asset managers?
– What are some of the benefits it will bring to end investors, and participants in the supply chain?
