Investment management and blockchain: The great reshuffle
Key points
- Blockchain is very likely to impact every layer of an asset manager’s future operations, thus substantially influencing productivity and profitability trends for the industry as a whole
- Blockchain has the potential to reduce the complexity of asset management
- In this note, we touch upon several aspects of blockchain that we deem particularly relevant in our perimeter, from tokenisation of funds and securities to financial inclusion
- In addition, we also briefly discuss digital currencies and the challenges they may pose to the current financial architecture
- Fundamentally, we think the future of fund management relies more on newly created decentralised finance (DeFi) techniques rather than tweaking our existing operating models to adapt to a decentralised system
