These advancements highlight the transformative potential of tokenization in fund structuring and distribution and also show the growing appetite for tokenized assets. 

At Ctrl Alt, we are revolutionising the way people think about funds. Whether you're looking to streamline existing funds through a digital wrapper, broaden customer-base, or tokenize new funds natively, we offer bespoke solutions to meet your needs.

The Evolution of Fund Distribution

The first money market fund was introduced in 1971, enabling investors to earn higher yields than traditional bank accounts. Then, in 1976, John Bogle launched the first index fund. Initially ridiculed as “Bogle’s Folly”, index funds were later recognised for their groundbreaking approach. 

Throughout their development, funds have traditionally been operationally challenging and expensive to set up and run. As a result, access to many funds has been limited to a small pool of investors.  However, today, tokenization offers a new way to gain or provide exposure to funds, from venture capital to hedge funds. 

Just like index funds are a central part of portfolios worldwide today, we believe that tokenization plays a key role in the future of fund structuring and distribution.

The distribution of funds can be complex and calls for the need to adapt to technological advancements. The traditional models of investing in funds can prove inefficient and costly, making it hard for traditional distributors to keep up with market demands.

Digital-first combined with traditional finance approaches can streamline processes and reduce operational burdens, and tokenization plays a key role in enabling this digital-first approach to funds. By leveraging these technologies, fund distributors can offer more personalised and flexible investment options to their clients.
