As part of this , Delano asked nine professionals in Luxembourg and Switzerland’s financial sector how digitalisation has been changing investing. Here’s what Victor Jung, head of digital assets at Hamilton Lane, had to say:

“Digitisation--and more specifically, tokenisation--has provided numerous benefits in how private markets are accessed, namely by making them cheaper, better and faster.”

“Cheaper: fund structures become more equitable for the end client; also, digitally native structures will allow less capital intensive fund formations when it comes to costs (which will benefit the distributor and issuer).”

“Better: private markets become more fractionalised which was not the case before; fractionalisation allows end investors to access tokenised funds in an efficient manner. There will also be further improvements in options for liquidity via trading venues with more participants (due to fractionalisation) coming in.”

“Faster: Investors go through the process only once; today, even if you invest with the same manager, you still need to review and sign 80+ page documents for each offering--that highly manual process would disappear and settlement will be much more efficient. All data will be captured in real time.”
