Fund Registry

Definition ∞ A Fund Registry is an official record-keeping system that tracks the ownership, transactions, and other pertinent details of investment funds. This registry provides transparency and accountability for fund operations and participant holdings. It ensures accurate administration of shares and distributions. Blockchain technology can enhance the security and efficiency of these record systems.
Context ∞ The traditional fund registry system is undergoing modernization, with distributed ledger technology presenting a compelling case for improved efficiency and data integrity. Current discussions address the benefits of tokenizing fund shares and maintaining registries on a blockchain for real-time updates and reduced reconciliation efforts. This shift could significantly streamline fund administration.
