Asset and Wealth Management Industry Continues to Embrace Digital Assets: Key Insights for Asset ManagersDespite fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market, the asset and wealth management (AWM) industry remains committed to exploring opportunities in digital assets, albeit with a more cautious approach. Increasingly, AWM firms are engaging with digital assets through direct crypto holdings, investments in funds, and equity stakes in digital-native asset firms. The interest in digital assets also extends to investments in blockchain technology, as AWM firms explore tokenization’s potential to streamline operations and expand their market offerings. In parallel, service providers are supporting these efforts with services like custody, trading, and infrastructure support, helping to secure the emerging digital asset ecosystem.Aurea Foundation TeamDecember 10, 2024
A Blueprint for an Ecosystem with New Capabilities As financial institutions navigate a rapidly transforming landscape, particularly within the wealth and asset management sectors, they face a crucial decision point: adapt to the emerging era of tokenized funds or risk obsolescence. Blockchain technology has made considerable headway, with over a thousand individual chains developed to date, and this number is swiftly growing. However, for tokenization to reach its full potential, significant technological upgrades are necessary to achieve a scalable, compliant, and efficient ecosystem for tokenized finance.Aurea Foundation TeamDecember 9, 2024

Next in Asset and Wealth Management: Five Strategies to Drive Transformation Amid Economic ChallengesAs the asset and wealth management (AWM) industry grapples with recent economic and market pressures, firms must adapt swiftly to navigate evolving investor expectations, technological advancements, and generational shifts in wealth. The recent past has tested traditional strategies, compelling AWM firms to rethink their approach to growth, efficiency, and client engagement. Investors expect more tailored, cost-effective solutions, and younger generations inheriting wealth bring fresh investment philosophies. Relying on past methods for growth is no longer sustainable, and firms that delay transformation risk becoming obsolete.
Given these dynamics, we project that as much as 16% of AWM firms could face consolidation or failure by 2027. To stay relevant, AWM leaders must embrace digital transformation, strategic growth, and a commitment to trust, positioning themselves not only to survive but to excel.
