Access a frictionless secondary marketplace
Transform the management of, and expand the eligible investor base for previously illiquid strategies with a blockchain enabled marketplace for secondary trading of fund interests.
The $10 trillion private funds market is plagued with time-consuming processes and inefficiencies. An increased regulatory burden since the global financial crisis and an influx of new investors have pulled time and resources away from core investment functions. There has been little innovation to address this shift, until now.
Figure uses blockchain to streamline and digitize processes and reduce time and money spent on services from “trusted helpers.” The Digital Fund Services offering is a comprehensive suite of solutions for non-investment related functions, connected to a marketplace for digitally issued fund interests that offers new avenues for discovery and distribution.
Other companies provide singular offerings (e.g. digital subscriptions, fund administration, etc.) and blockchain-based services (e.g. digital transfer agent, security tokens). Only Figure offers a full suite of services connected to a primary marketplace for capital raising and a secondary marketplace for trading fund interests.
By combining the immutable, distributed and trustless features of a blockchain with ledger, registry and exchange functionality - the Provenance blockchain can increase efficiency, improve user experience, eliminate risks and create new markets.
Marketplace
Enables the discovery, issuance, purchase, transfer and redemption of digital fund interests by marrying investor passport data, fund compliance and regulatory guidelines.
Passport
Securely and confidentially verifies investor accreditation and performs KYC/AML/BSA checks on global individuals and entities. Investors can leverage their passport for multiple offerings on Provenance eliminating redundant processes.
Ledger
Captures all investor-level fund activity (cash flows, ownership) in an ‘undisputed chain of truth’. Provides seamless subscription and capital operations and settlement. Enables the frictionless distribution of fund proceeds and redemptions.
Registry
Creates a secure and immutable record of investment ownership, terms and fund details, simplifying document management for LPs and GPs.
Liquidity
Improves the liquidity profile of illiquid funds through bilateral secondary trading of fund interests with real time settlement while eliminating high search and transaction costs of current secondary markets.
