On 24 November 2023, the Technology Working Group (the Group), to the Asset Management Taskforce, published an interim report UK Fund Tokenisation: A Blueprint for Implementation. 

Through close engagement with HM Treasury (HMT) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Group has developed a blueprint for implementing the tokenisation of UK investment funds. This blueprint recommends a staged approach to fund tokenisation, starting with a baseline model that could be used within the existing legal and regulatory framework, and progressing to more advanced stages over time. 

This interim report details the first phase of the Group's work on harnessing the potential of innovative technologies for the UK asset management industry. This focuses on the application of distributed ledger technology (DLT) through investment fund tokenisation.
