Getting Started With Digital Asset Management

Please or Sign Up to continue reading ...

The world of financial management has evolved over the years. When we say asset management, traditional investment channels of stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, and real estate investment trusts (REITs) generally come to mind. However, in recent years, its evolution has gained momentum. Digital assets, including cryptocurrency, stablecoins, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), offer a modern investment opportunity. Most are speculative, and some are stable. Nearly 16% of Americans say they have invested in, traded or used cryptocurrency, which equates to more than 45 million people. Although these investment opportunities can offer lucrative returns, most are volatile. To invest, one needs to understand the risk associated with the potential returns. A new digital asset class of asset-backed tokens is also emerging, which offers a calculated investment which could be less speculative. As with any investment, the best portfolios employ an investing strategy which rings true for digital assets as well.

Digital Asset Management

How does digital asset management work?

Asset management aims to increase your wealth by acquiring, maintaining, and trading investments based on a risk-return metric. Similar to traditional asset management, digital asset management employs the same criteria of understanding the investors’ appetite for risk, yield, and diversity to then model a strategy. Digital asset management is specific to digital assets like stocks, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and tokenized assets. Managing digital assets smartly is crucial to limit volatility with speculative crypto assets.

Why is digital asset management important?

Tracking or managing assets is important to understand the portfolio, including liquid and illiquid assets giving a full financial picture to maximize the value. Asset management allows the investor to recognize what aspects of the portfolio may be under or overweight. For example, diversity is very important in a portfolio that asset management would highlight. You know the saying goes, “don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. But that is merely the first step of asset management. What if you still lose money despite superb diversification? What if the highest-performing asset is now losing value and hurting your pocket? Tracking assets routinely help you anticipate potential downturns in the market.

Challenges in digital asset management

Despite the good wealth and asset management, certain challenges persist. Let us take a closer look at some hurdles in digital asset management.

  1. Lack of visibility and control
    Hellen Keller once said, “The greatest tragedy to befall a person is to have sight but lack vision.” Not everyone is apt to anticipate market trends, and it is tough to predict what could happen in the near future when it comes to new-age digital assets like cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies saw significant volatility in 2021, with the global market cap dropping to just above $1 trillion in July from a $3 Trillion market cap within 30 days. This insight underpins the importance of investors’ need to calculate risk.

  2. Choosing the Right Assets
    Experienced investors should know what works for them. Often, people end up over-diversifying their portfolio, which can handicap their returns. Creating and following an investment strategy is a must. For some, conventional assets like stocks and ETFs offer lucrative returns, while others are comfortable with Bitcoins. Thus, choosing the right investment channel should be a priority.

  3. Lack or absence of guidance
    Asset management gurus exist, and they might help you allocate your investment. However, what new-age investors need is something more. A tool, a platform that can intuitively guide these investors and help them monitor or avoid risky investments. There should be a systematic approach for retail investors to reap above-market returns and navigate the risks.
