Investcorp and Securitize Partnership for Fund Tokenization

Investcorp, an alternative asset manager, has partnered with Securitize to explore opportunities in fund tokenization. The collaboration aims to develop tokenized funds within Investcorp’s Strategic Capital Group (ISCG), which manages $1.5 billion in assets and specializes in acquiring minority interests in alternative asset managers.

Expanding Access to Private Markets through Tokenization

Through this partnership, qualified investors will have access to GP staking strategies using Securitize’s tokenization technology. This innovative approach not only enhances efficiency for investors but also opens up opportunities in private markets through blockchain technology.

Anthony Maniscalco, Managing Partner at ISCG, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “This collaboration with Securitize reflects Investcorp’s commitment to innovation in alternative investments. By leveraging tokenization technology, we aim to provide increased accessibility and efficiency for investors, ushering in a new era of investment opportunities.”

Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize, highlighted the significance of tokenizing alternative assets, saying, “Investcorp’s global presence and innovative approach make them an ideal partner for breaking down investment barriers. Tokenization enables individual investors to participate in previously inaccessible opportunities.”

Investcorp’s recent forays into the crypto space, including hiring Herve Francois, former head of digital assets at ING, and launching its first blockchain fund, underscore its commitment to exploring new frontiers in alternative investments. The firm has been actively involved in various crypto-related ventures, showcasing its forward-looking approach in the evolving financial landscape.
