Finance is Being Democratized Through 'Assetization'

Originally published in German on HZ Banking on April 12, 2024.

Key Takeaways:
 

  • Unlocking Dormant Value

    An estimated $78 trillion in non-bankable assets are currently "sleeping", but assetization has the potential to tap into and even exceed this massive pool of dormant value.
     
  • Democratizing Finance

    Assetization is making the creation of financial products and access to investment opportunities more open and accessible to a broader population, continuing the historical trend of expanding access to financial markets over time.
     
  • Trending Alternative Investments

    There is growing investor demand to allocate funds to alternative assets, private equity, debt, commodities, or collectibles, with actively managed certificates (AMCs) positioned to become the "new ETFs" as an increasingly popular investment vehicle.
