As part of this , Delano asked professionals from the Luxembourg financial sector how digitalization has changed investment. Here is what Kavitha Ramachandran, chief operating officer at Apex Group Luxembourg, told Delano:
“Finding the right balance between technological innovation, human interactions and securities regulation will be an ongoing challenge and the investment management community is working to ensure that the tightrope remains safe.”
“The generational shift within the investment community continues to pave the way for increased digitalization and user-friendly experiences. Demand for access to real-time data is driving the use of technology, prompting investment managers to move from monthly and quarterly reporting cycles to making investor information instantly available through the through data feeds on mobile applications, which in turn is changing traditional investment methods.”
“Tokenization and blockchain are no longer buzzwords, but are shaping the future of digital assets. Digital asset securities are securities first, and regulatory developments will be gradual. Our challenge is to enable our clients, asset managers, to take advantage of new technologies, in regulated environments, to grow their assets under management.”
“We could define a successful outcome in tokenization of managed assets as a world where our children look at their smartphones, and see their investment accounts, no matter how small, where they track their private debt, their private equity, their real estate, their infrastructure, their insurance-related securities and their investments in hedge funds, alongside their traditional securities and their investments in cryptocurrencies.
