Tokenization demand softer than expected
Q&A tempered tokenization hype, with Chris noting end-client demand lags media buzz despite preparations across US and Asia partnerships like Archax and BNY/Goldman; real flows are the key milestone. Ray attributed Q4 distribution costs' 25% YoY jump to inflows into higher-fee share classes, with no direct offsets. MDT strategies show no capacity constraints, expanding into ETFs, CITs, and UCITS for overseas sales. Five PM retirements pose no disruption thanks to deep succession benches. Money markets stay compelling above 3% yields post-one expected Fed cut. Demand lags hype. Investors will eye MDT wrappers and expense mix shifts.
