First real blockchain transaction completed in fund distribution with FundsDLT
07/05/2017
Natixis Asset Management, a leading affiliate of Natixis Global Asset Management, indicated that a pilot investor in a test of blockchain smart contract prototype successfully purchased shares in Natixis AM’s funds through the blockchain-powered fund distribution platform for fund managers, FundsDLT.
The news comes after Natixis announced its intention to be the first asset management player in the industry to use the FundsDLT subscription prototype that uses blockchain technology to enhance distribution and processing mechanisms in the asset management industry.
FundsDLT is the result of collaboration between Fundsquare (a subsidiary of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange), InTech (a subsidiary of POST Group) and KPMG Luxembourg. The platform is being developed to enable asset managers to sell funds through a new distribution channel, while significantly reducing administration costs and the time to process transactions for both asset managers and other asset servicers. FundsDLT intends to streamline a range of fund administration and order-routing tasks by using blockchain to automate several processes in a secure manner. The model is applicable to a wide range of funds and does not depend on the jurisdiction.
The successful execution means that, for the first time in the fund industry, an investor was able to use a blockchain based platform to purchase real funds’ shares with real cash. First, the investor used the FundsDLT mobile app to submit the standard subscription order for the shares. Via the API the order was transmitted to the FundsDLT platform and the information was immediately and simultaneously transmitted using blockchain technology to Natixis AM and the other parties involved in the transaction, each one having its own node on the FundsDLT blockchain. The transfer agent – in this case CACEIS – was the first to act by confirming the transaction and logging it as “approved” or “declined”. Approval triggered the clearing and settlement processes: all of which took place on the Funds DLT platform. This change in the distribution chain promises a real revolution for distribution activities.
The cash and payment process was handled using S-money (part of Groupe BPCE). The investor topped up an S-money account with sufficient funds to cover the transaction before completing the order. S-money APIs were a major contributor to this success, as they allowed for the movement of money via state-of-the-art technology. This real transaction has paved the way for a new financial services model.
