Asset Management – Increasing Market Demand in Digital Asset Space

Asset management typically refers to the management of investments on behalf of others. Factoring into investors’ investment objectives, horizon and their risk tolerance, the process in principle is designed to optimize asset allocation and achieve investment value appreciation over certain period of time while mitigating risk.

With the global policy development and adoption of digital assets underway, more professional asset management institutions are entering the digital asset trading market with different trading and investment strategies. In the meantime, more investors are contemplating on how to deploy their capital into this new asset class.

However, due to lack of formal broker dealer structure in the digital asset industry, potential investors have limited access to good digital asset financial products for their investment needs. For digital asset trading teams or investment firms, it is also challenging for them to identify and reach out to the right investors for fundraising.

As a result, there is a strong market demand for professional digital asset management service platform to not only give the potential investors a list of quality products or strategies for their selection, but also effectively support fund raising and other fund admin services required by digital asset managers like trading teams and funds.
