New York Life Asset Management executive: The biggest opportunity for tokenization lies in personalized investing.
PANews reported on July 5th, citing Coindesk, that Thomas Sy, Head of Multi-Asset Solutions at New York Life Investment Management (NYLIM), which manages $800 million in assets, stated in an interview that blockchain could ultimately enable asset management firms to tailor portfolios for individual investors on a large scale—something the current financial system cannot achieve. "We believe the future of asset management lies in personalization. And the only technology that can help us achieve this at scale is blockchain." Personalized investment strategies often combine ETFs, bonds, private credit, and other assets, creating operational complexity that makes personalization difficult to scale. Tokenization can simplify transfer brokerage, settlement, and other back-office processes, reducing costs and ultimately benefiting investors.
AI-driven capital inflows accelerate, with China's quantitative fund assets under management doubling to 2.6 trillion yuan within a year.
According to a Bloomberg report on July 3rd, driven by the widespread application of artificial intelligence technology and leading performance, China's quantitative funds are experiencing a buying frenzy, with their assets under management doubling in less than a year to over 2.6 trillion yuan. Data shows that quantitative long-only equity strategies achieved an average return of 44.7% last year, 20.3 percentage points higher than actively managed equity funds, prompting investors to accelerate the shift from traditional stock selection strategies to quantitative investment. Industry insiders believe that the investment logic has shifted from "choosing quantitative funds" to "choosing the quantitative institutions with the strongest AI capabilities," with leading institutions continuously expanding their technological moat by leveraging their advantages in AI, data, and talent. However, as the size of quantitative funds continues to expand and market pricing efficiency improves, the industry expects that obtaining excess returns will become increasingly difficult.
