AMAS Meet & Eat: Fund Tokenization - Interaction with a Crypto exchange

What implications do the emergence of new asset classes and the changes in the way key financial services functions are performed have for incumbent financial services firms, including custodians? Fund tokenization is being driven by the persistent pressures of economic disruption, customer expectations, and a drive towards investment democratization. However, investment funds are very liquid products by design, so the question is – why look at their tokenization? Join Paolo Brignardello, one of the founders and Chief Commercial Officer of Funds DLT at the next AMAS Meet&Eat.

Webinar Sustainable Finance: Vermeidung von Greenwashing – alles in trockenen Tüchern?

Wo „Nachhaltigkeit“ draufsteht, muss eine angemessene Organisation, Dokumentation und Kommunikation den Worten Taten folgen lassen. Der Bundesrat nahm dazu am 16.12.2022 Stellung und im Jahr 2023 treten nun die Selbstregulierungen der SBVg und der AMAS in Kraft. Wo stehen wir nach der der Aufsichtsmitteilung vor 1,5 Jahren und wohin geht nun die Reise?

AMAS X BUILDING BRIDGES Webinar series on Blended Finance: An Introduction to Blended Finance

As environmental and societal challenges are becoming more complex to address, multi-stakeholder approaches ensuring the smart and efficient use of resources prove to be even more critical. Initially used in the development and impact investing fields, blended finance structures offer promising solutions and have progressively been adopted by traditional financial players including asset managers to derisk investments expected to address key sustainable development goals notably in the field of climate, gender, health, peace building or other. The principle of blended finance structures consists in leveraging concessional finance to mobilize market-rate financing in order to rebalance the risk-reward profiles of pioneering investments that are unable to proceed on strictly commercial terms.
