Dynasty Financial Partners has teamed with Eaglebrook Advisors to offer Bitcoin and other digital asset investment strategies to its network of independent advisory firms.
"This is our first offering in the crypto/digital asset space," Nick Gerace, senior vice president of investments at Dynasty, told ThinkAdvisor.
Although it was not announced until Tuesday, he said: "The solution has been available for about two months, and so far, feedback has been positive. Advisors are happy with having no minimum investment size," as well as its "liquidity, ease of use" and the tax benefit of Eaglebrook's separately managed account structure.
It was no secret that Dynasty has been interested in new digital asset strategies. Cryptocurrencies are "here to stay," Shirl Penney, Dynasty CEO, recently told ThinkAdvisor in an interview. But "what's even more interesting and will ultimately be more disruptive is blockchain technology and its ability to connect consumers directly with each other," he said at the time.
"There's a lot of middleware businesses, a lot of industries that ultimately will be significantly disrupted once blockchain really becomes mainstream," he predicted.
Dynasty is "consistently on the lookout for leading-edge investment strategies and solutions that can help advisors meet the needs of their clients," Gerace said in the joint announcement with Eaglebrook.
"The demand for Bitcoin and other digital assets only continues to grow, and the addition of Eaglebrook's SMAs to our network provides advisors with an efficient way to obtain safer, customized access to this emerging asset class," he said.
