Crypto, tokenisation, NFTs – The opportunities of investing in digital assetsIn its continuous pursuit of innovation and attractive returns and responding to growing investor demand, the fund industry has now been trying to crack the digital assets nut for a while. With Azimut’s successful tokenisation of a private debt portfolio and the CSSF’s guidance expressly allowing Luxembourg funds to take exposure to virtual assets, is the market now ready for funds having direct exposure to digital assets as a component of their investment policy?

Cyber attack: what’s it like from the inside?Is your organisation ready to deal with a cyber attack? Are you ready in the role you perform? Do you still regard defence and preparation for a cyber attack to be the domain of the CTO? Hear from two perspectives; the Cyber Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) constantly trying to stay several steps ahead of relentless probes from hackers, and a Senior Executive who has lived through the experience. What is it really like when the phone rings at 5am and you are suddenly in react, manage, control, remediate mode to a crisis situation? What are the crucial lessons to ensure you are better prepared to prevent, and to manage through a crisis if attacked?

Digital Custody – redefining the financial services landscapeLunch session facilitated by State Street With the financial industry continuing its rapid transformation to a digital economy, the custodial industry must pivot to accommodate and support changes and innovations in the financial services landscape. The ever increasing volume of digital assets flowing through the financial system is forcing upon the industry a redefinition of what it means to be a digital custodian. Is digital custody a bridge of the old and the new? How important are digital assets in investment portfolios? What are the legal implications for digital custody? What is the digital custody regulatory landscape? The session aims at answering the most current questions on the digital assets custodianship from both theoretical and practical standpoints.
