Florida, United States, January 24th, 2025, Chainwire Palm Beach, FL– January 20, 2025 – The Palm Beach Hedge Fund Association (PBHFA) has entered into a strategic partnership with Securitize, the leader in tokenizing real-world assets, aimed at expanding education and innovation in tokenizing investment funds. The collaboration will empower fund managers with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the rapidly growing market for tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs). The partnership will focus on a series of educational and social events tailored to the needs of experienced fund managers, to explore opportunities to integrate tokenization into their portfolios and operations. Securitize Fund Services will work with the PBHFA to address gaps in traditional fund administration processes, including slow and duplicative investor onboarding, delayed fund NAV calculations or not integrated with on-chain oracles, and the inability to issue securities on demand. Securitize is solving these issues by digitizing investor onboarding, automating workflows via smart contracts, and offering on-demand issuance and redemption of tokenized securities. David S. Goodboy, Founder of PBHFA commented, “I am very excited to share Securitize’s capacities with our members and network.
