Asset Tokenisation is gathering momentum in financial markets but is still a relatively nascent theme in the asset management industry. Well worth tuning into this webinar with my colleague Michael Briody if you want to learn more.

As financial markets move towards shorter settlement cycles, we face the challenge of balancing efficiency gains with emerging risks. This insightful article by former chief executive of Principal Asset Management calls out how the shift threatens traditional netting practices, potentially increasing capital requirements due to the need for immediate settlement of each trade. This could also lead to a rise in failed trades, as the margin for error in trade execution and processing diminishes. It will be crucial for the industry to innovate and find solutions that maintain the benefits of rapid settlements while addressing these risks. In this context, technologies like smart-contract enabled blockchains may also start to make a lot more sense. #dlt #blockchain #riskmanagement https://on.ft.com/3HxmfbI

Tokenovate has written extensively about T+2, T+1 and ultimately T+0 settlements in the past (see the blog on our website). This timely Financial Times article highlights a number of benefits and issues as the T+train is approaching the station. We agree with Jim McCaughan that using blockchain technology "...will make a big difference to what is possible for the settlement system. As an aside, blockchain technology could also enable a big reduction in the costs of reconciliation — checking trades are verified — incurred by asset owners, asset managers, registrar and custody banks". He also points out that in order to support faster settlements, current market infrastructure is in need of substantial upgrade. The good news is that Tokenovate's platform aims to address this challenge by delivering digital financial market infrastructure, and smart contracts, enabling programmatic lifecycle event management of the pre-trade to post-trade workflow for OTC and exchange traded derivatives.

Enhancing money market fund utility with tokenisation 🚀 Check out this paper from The Investment Association of the UK. It highlights the transformative potential of MMF tokenisation. 🔎 By enabling an increased use of MMFs as collateral, tokenisation could lead to a significant shift towards greater efficiency and utility in fund management, marking a move away from traditional collateral management practices.  With tokenisation, the agility and transparency of MMFs are not only enhanced, but it can also offer a streamlined approach for managing liquidity needs and collateral calls.    At FundsDLT, we're actively participating in MMF tokenisation. Our engagement in developing solutions that harness the power of tokenisation for MMFs aligns with the latest industry insight.  💡 Read the full PDF report here ▶ https://lnkd.in/edMzEwmJ #MMFs #moneymarketfunds #tokenisation #digitaltransformation #assetmanagement #funddistribution #DLT #blockchain #FundsDLT #fundtokenization
