A bold new look inside the trillion-dollar investing revolution currently reshaping how financial products are made and who gets to invest. Most investors and financial advisors believe the market offers endless opportunity. Yet in reality, standard investment products capture only a narrow slice of the real economy. Trillions in value remain locked away—out of reach for all but the ultra-wealthy and major institutions. The good news is that this is changing. Driven by advances in technology and financial engineering, pioneers the world over are transforming how financial products are made, what can be invested in, and who can access these opportunities. In Assetization: Inside the Trillion-Dollar Investing Revolution, a team of veteran fintech innovators—including the founders of the award-winning Swiss fintech GenTwo—provide an insider’s view of this collective movement to democratize investing and bring the creator economy to finance. Inside, you’ll discover: As the authors show, markets around the world are shifting from a product-pushed system to a demand-driven one. Investors can now act on their convictions, and advisors and institutions can reinvent how they deliver value. Those who understand this moment will define – and reap the rewards of – the future of investing. Who should read this book? Don’t just imagine more open, accessible markets—see how it’s happening and learn how to act. The treasure is out there. The pioneers are staking their claims. Will you join them?
