Reminder

As introduced in the previous article on “Using IOTA as a solution for the US$65.7 trillion Asset Management industry”, IBERIAN is an IOTA based project that aims to disrupt the finance industry by enabling the creation and management of investment funds capable of trading both digital and traditional assets (cryptocurrencies, tokens, stocks, commodities, forex…) on an open source software platform built on top of the Tangle.

I strongly recommend to read the post first for a better comprehension of the one below as this is a continuation of it.

Why IOTA?

IOTA is a DLT that, unlike any other, is feeless, infinitely scalable, ternary and quantum computer resistant. In words of Cara Harbor: The Tangle is a permissionless, no-fee distributed ledger, designed as the basis of a global protocol for the Internet of Things that does not rely on traditional blockchain technology. Industry partners are developing concepts with IOTA across automotive, mobility, eHealth, and smart energy sectors, as well as social impact and government regulations, supply chain, and global trade activities.

The Tangle, Qubic smart contracts and Oracle machines will be the responsibles for the efficiency and reliability of the project.

In a nutshell

IBERIAN will create a solution for all companies, public institutions, individuals and investors in the asset management industry thanks to IOTA technology and Qubic smart contracts. IBERIAN aims to:

be a solution for companies and public entities inside the asset management industry (Hedge Funds, Mutual Funds, Pension Funds, Investment Banks, etc.). be a solution for individuals that have the brain but lack the capital resources to create a traditional investment fund. be a solution for investors. The decentralised Iberian Fund Marketplace provides an easy and secure outlet to invest money.

How?

1. In relation to companies inside the industry

IBERIAN facilitates the creation of funds more efficiently while dramatically reducing costs, enabling a much more streamlined asset management activity.

Primarily, this will be achieved by offering a complete asset management software platform where investment entities can customise every aspect of a fund, including management, by choosing between different service providers amongst aspects such as the Exchange, the Price Feeds, support for trading algorithms (if any) and many others.

Secondly, entities will have the ability to dramatically cut costs associated with traditional asset management activity by transitioning to a digital fund structure using IBERIAN, where only a Manager, helped by Qubic smart contracts, is needed. This enables cheaper, more secure, and efficient funds.
