The tokenized fund will provide qualified investors with exposure to ISCG’s general partner staking strategy, a method of private equity investment that invests in asset management firms directly by acquiring minority interests in those firms rather than investing in the underlying funds those firms manage.
Following the announcement of the private equity tokenized fund, Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo remarked on the inclusive opportunities tokenized investment products provide to individual investors:“By tokenizing alternative assets, we are breaking down barriers and allowing individual investors to participate in opportunities that were previously out of reach. This partnership underscores our commitment to leveraging technology to unlock new financial possibilities.”Real-world asset tokenization: the final frontier?
