Summary:

Now On Demand. Digitization is accelerating rapidly, and digital assets enable investors to participate in different areas of this technological progress. It is tough to predict what the digital world of the future may look like, and no one can say with absolute certainty which investments or assets will emerge victoriously. Bitcoin has a significant head start as the leading global store of value alternative to gold. Ethereum asserts dominance across the asset class, fueling the expanding world of decentralized finance (DeFi), which we see gaining quick traction and interest among investors. Billions of dollars of investments have been made in the last few years to support the industry’s growth and provide institutional investors the tools and opportunity to invest, trade, and instantly transact with billions of dollars in daily liquidity. We’re confident that your clients hear chatter about crypto assets every day. We can help you prepare for discussions with your clients on how best to put money to work in the emerging and rapidly evolving digital asset class. Digital assets are the future of global finance. The disruptions and market expansion creating this new digital frontier are happening now. Join Galaxy Digital’s Head of Asset Management Steve Kurz and Bloomberg’s Global Head of Product Management for Multi-Asset Indices Alan Campbell for a straightforward primer on:

  • Segmenting the digital asset class
  • Indexing in crypto and the BGCI
  • Digital assets as an investment and how to access exposure
Steve and Alan will also discuss a diversified approach to crypto exposure in the portfolio and how to approach client conversations about the sector. This informative presentation will provide a thorough foundation on digital assets and leave you feeling confident in your ability to discuss it with your clients.
