OnAndCo Joins R3 Venture Development Program

By: Zexprwire

Maimi, US, 2nd Dec 2021, ZEXPRWIRE, OnAndCo, a seed stage Fintech start-up that innovates and digitizes the alternative investment sector and headquartered in London, joins enterprise technology and services firm, R3 Venture Development Program. Subsequent endorsement by the Hatchery – a startup incubator at one of the most prestigious universities in the world, University College London – is yet another milestone and validation point for both customers and investors.

OnAndCo was born as a result of an era of financial digitalization, following the Global Financial Crisis in 2008. Even though laws were imposed in order to avoid another financial catastrophe, mistrust in financial institutions was still common. In 2009 the popularity of the Bitcoin and blockchain saw a considerable gush and started a shift in the FinTech space that promoted transparency.

Later in 2015, Ethereum was launched, followed by smart contracts. These tools were put into place in order to help transactions be conducted without intervention from any intermediaries. At the same time, investors were increasingly interested in transparency and this led to the emergence of robotization and automated financial planning.

In response to the evident rise of demand for such fintech platforms and remote working during Covid, the OnAndCo team spared no effort working on the platform. They wanted to create a convenient, user friendly, and efficient digital alternative investment world: the go-to platform that fulfills all alternative investment professionals’ needs in one place.

Powered by Corda – R3’s enterprise blockchain platform – OnAndCo leverages blockchain technology to provide an end-to-end marketplace where investors and private companies can seamlessly collaborate anytime, anywhere removing intermediaries, streamlining the investment life cycle, and reducing costs, which allows OnAndCo to solve major pain points in the private sector, unlock broader access to alternative investments and drive growth.

While the secondary market evolves, investors will gain access to enter a multi-trillion-dollar market. They will, thus, have a great opportunity to maximize returns, diversify their portfolio, and achieve lower taxes. Alternative investments have, however, only been accessible to a very limited number of investors as fees are, thus far, significantly higher than those in the public market. Traditionally, alternative investments require extensive due diligence and an abundance of documentation as they are unfettered by the majority of regulatory bodies.

Moreover, illiquidity is a major problem for alternatives. That is because when investors invest in alternative investments, it usually requires their investment to be tied up for several years. And for most of the alternatives, there is no active secondary market. OnAndCo is building an effective peer-to-peer marketplace that offers the necessary Infrastructure and investor networks and this is where you come across multiple opportunities and solutions for this liquidity problem.

With a platform like OnAndCo, alternative investments are growing more popular as a means of diversification and sound portfolio management. According to the forecasts, alternative sector is expected to expand to $17 trillion by 2025. And it is OnAndCo that democratizes alternative investment.

The adoption of FinTech platforms like OnAndCo continues to grow and our everyday services leverage blockchain technology is improving, therefore, there are myriads of chances that we will see improved speed, transparency, and potential cost reduction prevailing in the financial markets. OnAndCo is, most certainly, the future of how investments in alternatives will be made in the times to come.
