In asset management, blockchain's decentralised and secure platform offers increased transparency, faster transactions, and cost reductions. It paves the way for streamlined processes, faster settlements, and improved investor experiences.

However, embracing blockchain requires careful consideration of technical and regulatory implications. While the technology is evolutionary, its potential impact on the industry is revolutionary. Companies will need to navigate the opportunities and risks to unlock its full potential. 

Adapted from the "The Brave New World of Tokenization & Blockchain in Asset Management" Masterclass, this e-learning course will help learners understand more about blockchain and tokenisation technology, asset tokenisation use-cases and trends, the potential of digital assets, and the global regulatory trends and developments in the digital assets space.

1. Understand key concepts of blockchain, tokenisation, and digital assets.

3. Identify how tokenisation is applied in asset management through real-world case studies.

4. Apply the SMART approach to assess regulatory and legal considerations in digital assets.
