“We continually strive to provide our clients with the forward-thinking choices they want and believe cryptocurrency is a viable asset class that can be part of a well-diversified portfolio.” – commented Mannik Dhillon, CFA, CAIA, and President of VictoryShares and Solutions.
- Sean Wasserman, Vice President and Global Head of Index and Advisor Solutions at Nasdaq, said these products could have been expected as the digital asset space has “seen a developing maturity” lately.
- Dhillon added that investors will be able to see returns that “align with the cryptocurrency market in a diversified manner” through the products tracking the NCI.
- It’s worth noting that Victory Capital is not the first large US-based institution to dip its toes into the crypto space. Numerous American banks, including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, and BNY Mellon, recently announced similar plans with products ranging from custodial services to actively managed funds.
