Investing in properties is almost every Singaporean investor’s dream because it has forged many generations of wealth alongside Singapore’s economic growth.
That said, investors should take note of several difficulties when it comes to property investments such as:
- Exorbitant capital outlay; even the downpayment can stretch into 6-figures
- Small market size in Singapore limits the availability of stable and profitable real estate products
- Selling the property takes time and money
With that in mind, Shareable Asset has established a Real Estate tokenization platform to offer fractional and affordable ownership in institutional-grade real estate which were previously only available to accredited high net worth investors.
The above shows the whole ecosystem of how its blockchain technology will facilitate block trading between asset providers and retail/institutional investors, with Shareable Asset in the centre.
To put it into layman terms, Shareable Asset is aiming to become the ‘online stock exchange’ of real estate properties/products. And it is disrupting the traditional model by dividing real estate assets into smaller units so that anyone can easily purchase and manage ownership of the real estate.
5 Key Strengths of Shareable Asset
Upon digging into the various resource, I find that Shareable Asset offers a compelling value proposition which I have highlighted below:
1. Invest in high-quality assets with as little as $100
This allows prospective investors to start dipping their toes with just a small amount and still be allocated direct, fractional ownership i.e. 0.1% of the property value.
2. Global Real Estate Investment Opportunities
Forget about buying a physical property in Singapore or buying a REIT with narrow regional focus. Now, Shareable Asset’s investors can build diversified portfolios and capitalize on opportunities across the globe.
Moreover, the market size of global real estate stands at $8.5 trillion, more than 4x that of the global listed REITs.
3. Quick and simple investment process
Unlike the long-drawn process of investing in a physical property, you can invest from the ease of your mobile in just within 5 minutes.
4. Lower Fees
Most REITs allocate profits to pay annual management fees of between 0.25% to 0.5% in addition to acquisition and divestment fees on the portfolio.
On that note, Shareable Asset’s platform fees are significantly lower than average REITs’ fees and other costs.
5. Licensed with MAS
Most importantly, Shareable Asset is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore under the Capital Markets Services (CMS) licence. The CMS licence allows for digitalisation and tokenization of real estate in the form of security tokens using blockchain technology.
Globally, only five companies have been approved as a fintech-based securities investment company that utilizes blockchain technology. Shareable Asset aims to be the first to specialize in real estate.
