This page contains resources regarding tokenised funds, sometimes known as "digital", or "on-chain funds"; what they are, why they can add value and how they work.
TOKENISED FUNDS SERIES WITH CMS
The IA has published a series of papers over the course of 2020 and 2021 in collaboration with CMS. These papers explore the basics of tokenised funds, the regulatory and disputes considerations, and prospectus disclosures that may be necessary.
We hope these are helpful in explaining the technical aspects that the industry needs to consider to make them an effective proposition for use by members.
