Board & Exec level: What’s next in Tokenisation

The institutional signals, strategic choices and Board questions for investment managers.

Tokenisation is becoming a leadership issue for asset managers. As issuance, collateral and settlement evolve, firms may need to revisit competitive positioning, client proposition and their operating model. Boards and Executive Committees need a clear view of which changes warrant attention now, what could make them material to the firm, the implications of leading, following or waiting, and what evidence is required before acting.

This 60-minute public webinar gives senior leaders a strategic frame for those decisions. It considers selected market, institutional and regulatory signals through the strategic questions they raise for asset managers: what is changing, why it may matter, and what Boards should ask before acting. It also identifies the issues that warrant a tailored, firm-specific in-house briefing.

Key Objectives

• Explain why tokenisation has become a leadership issue for asset managers.
• Interpret selected market, institutional and regulatory signals through a strategic lens.
