Digital Assets in Fund Management: Bridging Tradition with Innovation
This webinar forms part of the 2025 Funds Series.
Description
Regulators combine pragmatism and innovation, issuing clear guidance and milestones that enable responsible digital asset adoption. Key trends include institutional participation, tokenisation of fund interests, improved custody and valuation practices. Crypto funds operate under strong governance and risk management expectations. Tokenised structures span feeder funds, SPVs, and units used in pilots across real estate and credit. AML priorities include KYC, source of funds verification, Travel Rule implementation, and monitoring controls.
This webinar provides one-hour of CPD and offers insights and updates from a leading industry-expert speaker.
Delegates places are interchangeable with colleagues from the same organisation.
