Future of Finance (FOF) with Apex Group Ltd will hold half day event on October 17th in London. This event will provide a series of interviews and panel discussions that will explore how tokenisation is helping asset managers distribute products to new groups of investors, enabling retail investors to access investment strategies previously available to institutional investors only, cutting costs, risks and time for asset managers in issuing and servicing funds, making expensive and cumbersome investor on-boarding processes more efficient and creating the opportunity for the entire asset management industry to shift from selling undifferentiated risk-adjusted market return products to highly personalised, out-come based investment products for everyone.

Sahota at Fasanara Capital; Angie Walker at Chainlink; Daniel Coheur at Tokeny; Max Heinzle at 21X; Paolo Brignardello at FundsDLT; Brian McNulty at FundsAdminChain; Martin Watkins at Montis Group; Jasmine Burgess at Coinbase Asset Management; Nisha Surendran at Citi; Ben Brophy at Fidelity International; Ian Gobin at Cummings Pepperdine; Patrick Barrett at MembersCap; Allan Pedersen at Eurodollar moderated by Dominic Hobson Join us and get tickets (free) via the link below: #tokenisation #digitalassets

Future of Finance (FOF) Tokenisation Event - 5th Panel: 16.30 to 17.30:  Why the benefits of tokenisation depend on the issuance of “native” rather than “asset-backed” digital assets (45 minutes) 5th Panel   The questionable value of “asset-backed” tokens as a transitional tool The discreditable reasons why most token issues are “asset-backed” The boundless power of “native” tokens to express stocks and flows of any kind Automation of asset-servicing through token flows Elimination of reconciliation processes and proprietary technology systems Transformation of intermediary service roles The impact of “native” tokenisation on the manufacturing and distribution of asset management products The benefits for issuers, especially in terms of the cost of capital The benefits for investors in terms of risk and reward Panellists: Dr. Ian Hunt– Author and Advisor Anthony Woolley – Head of Business Development at Ownera Emma Lovett– Executive Director; Markets DLT – Credit Lead at J.P. Morgan Vic Arulchandran– Director and Head of Digital Product and Market Design at Deutsche Börse Register using the link below. #tokenisation #digitalassets #assetbackedtokens #nativetokens Read our Tokenisation Paper such as the chapter on Reference data is the unlikely rocket fuel propelling us into a tokenised future: As long as tokenised assets are issued, traded and purchased on separate blockchains, the security and fund token markets will struggle to develop scale and liquidity. It is multi-lateral and not bi-lateral links that are needed to unblock growth, and solutions are now being developed, but blockchain-based markets also need full interoperability with traditional financial markets. Here, the inefficiency of traditional posttrade processing is having paradoxical effects. It is an outcome rather than a cause of the high levels of intermediation in traditional markets and has become a barrier to tokenisation rather than an incentive to adopt it. The immediate result is clumsy workarounds to enable investors to switch between blockchain-based asset classes and traditional asset classes. But SSImple, an 18-month-old blockchain-based database for the storage, sharing and enrichment of Standing Settlement Instructions (SSIs), might just offer a way accelerate the pace of the transition of the capital markets from legacy systems to a tokenised future. https://lnkd.in/eD97jJDy

Future of Finance (FOF) - Tokenisation Event October 15 - meet our 4th panel Edward Glyn at Calastone; Emma Landriault at J.P. Morgan; Lisa McClory at D2 Legal Technology; Jørgen Ouaknine at Euroclear; Austen Appleby at R3 where they will discuss: The excessive costs of enabling the siloed money and capital markets of the status quo to inter-operate Have blockchain protocols reproduced the “walled gardens” of existing markets? How networks of networks create network effects What is being done to realise the vision of the BIS (Single Programmable Platform} and the IMF (X-C)? Why can’t Ethereum do the job? Would inter-operating links be as effective as a common platform? Do standards have any part to play in generating network effects? Is a public blockchain infrastructure initiative needed to correct a market failure? The Worldwide Web as a model: Do the token markets need the equivalent of the TCP/IP or SMTP protocol? Are an ICO and a DAO plausible models for funding and governing a public blockchain infrastructure?
