Smartlands, an aspiring global platform for security token issuance, today announced the acquisition of a major stake in Shojin Financial Services Limited (SFS). The acquisition of SFS allows Smartands to officially open its doors to accredited private and institutional investors on the platform and announce the first Security Token Offering (STO) backed by UK real estate.

SFS is a London-based company that in 2017 received an investment license from the British Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) allowing SFS to raise capital globally via crowdfunding. This mode of fundraising is becoming increasingly popular with the business community, individuals, professional investors, institutional investors, funds, and other entities.

Smartlands invites asset managers, asset owners, and investment funds to take full advantage of its proprietary mechanism for crowdfunding investments. Users can now visit their new website and review complete details of the early access special, private account manager program, and all the perks that come with the individual management approach to formulating your investment portfolio.

The first STO campaign

Smartlands first security token campaign will be divided into two stages.

Stage one: on March 19th, Smartlands Platform invites accredited private and institutional investors who are ready to sign contracts for the acquisition of security tokens to participate in the offering.

Stage two: is a public sale for investors who have created accounts on the Smartlands Platform, have gone through the accreditation process and passed it.

Shojin Property Partners will also assist with the growth of Smartlands by providing a pipeline of property investment projects for Smartlands investors.
