Digital assets
Creating the digital multiverse opportunity.
Our vision for a digital future
New technologies will change the way we invest as well as bring the benefits of investing to more people. Distributed ledger technology (DLT) – a secure way of recording information, such as ownership details, in a decentralised computer network – will be the foundation of a new financial infrastructure.
Over the next decade almost all investments could be converted into digital assets using DLT. This will bring exciting benefits including: faster, safer and cheaper ‘on chain’ trading and settlement; more efficient private markets; assets that are split up into more affordable units – making investments more accessible.
Investing in the future, right now
Our digital conviction
We want to redefine what it means to be a modern asset manager. We’re making strategic investments in, and helping to operate, the infrastructure that will determine the digital future. For example:
Archax – We’re the largest external shareholder in the UK’s first regulated digital securities exchange. Archax allows institutional investors to access blockchain-based digital assets and acts as a bridge to the traditional capital markets.

Hedera – We’re the first asset manager to join the governing council of this cutting-edge DLT firm. Hedera is at the forefront of developing enterprise-grade technology that will enable the migration of traditional investments onto the DLT ecosystem.
