    Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is going to be the catalyst of profound changes in the fund industry. Traditionally, post-market activities are not a sector that has benefitted from substantial investments within major financial groups, and the asset management post-market segment is no exception to this. As a consequence, players suffer from operational difficulties, particularly regarding distribution, and especially cross-border distribution. Capital and goods move freely and easily within the European Union, but this is much less the case for UCITS despite Europe being an immense savings reservoir.

  • Revolution in the German Capital Market: Securities Become Digital

    The legislator has drafted a proposal for digital securities that could trigger a revolution in the German capital market. Four aspects point in this direction: First, securities are being detached from the paper-based certificate in a systematic way, thus dematerialized, which creates the basis for the digital capital market of the future. Second, in the future, there will be the possibility that in addition to the central securities depository Clearstream — which belongs to Deutsche Börse — other registers perform the same function. Competition is therefore guaranteed. Third, the legislator also enables issuers themselves — possibly even industrial corporations — to keep the register for their own securities. Fourth, the legislator is creating the necessary conditions under German law for securities to be issued on decentralized blockchain systems such as possibly Ethereum — the second largest crypto currency after Bitcoin. — Philipp Sandner, Johannes Blassl

    The distribution of funds is undergoing a transformation. The European market, historically fragmented and dominated by large Swiss distributors such as UBP, is seeing the development of new players. "There are fewer platforms today than at the beginning of the 2000s. In particular, we have seen a consolidation of the sector since 2017, with the emergence of new platforms such as Allfunds and MFEX," confirms Sylvie Baijot, global head of fund distribution solutions at BNP Paribas Securities Services.
