Investcorp, Securitize Collaborate to Offer Tokenized Funds
Investcorp, the $52 billion alternative asset manager, and digital assets specialist Securitize have announced a partnership to develop fund tokenization opportunities, initially within Investcorp’s Strategic Capital Group (ISCG), which buys minority interests in GPs.
ISCG manages approximately $1.5 billion in assets and has completed 12 investments since its launch in 2019, partnering with mid-sized GPs across buy out, secondaries, structured equity, private credit, and real asset strategies.
According to Securitize, the partnership will enable qualified investors to access interests in GP staking strategy through Securitize’s tokenization technology, boosting access to burgeoning private markets with the efficiency of blockchain.
The tokenization of funds will be managed by Securitize’s digital transfer agent and offered through its digital asset management arm, Securitize Capital. The tokenized feeder fund will be available for investment on Securitize Markets, the firm’s broker-dealer platform.
“The use of tokenization technology has the potential to increase efficiencies for investors, and also provides for a new era of accessibility. Through this collaboration, Securitize is bringing access to the GP staking strategy for a wider range of investors,” said Anthony Maniscalco, managing partner at ISCG.
