Digital Assets Boom: NFTs Will Be Standard in Investment Portfolios Within Five Years

George Prior February 10, 2022

The booming Non-Fungible Token (NFT) market is roping in more and more international brands and investors who are increasingly becoming serious about the digital assets.

Digital Assets Boom: NFTs Will Be Standard in Investment Portfolios Within Five Years

NFTs, the decade’s hottest emerging asset class, will become a standard feature of investment portfolios within five years, predicts the CEO of one of the world’s largest independent financial advisory, asset management and fintech organizations.

The bullish prediction from Nigel Green of deVere Group, a global financial giant, comes as international brands become increasingly serious about the booming Non-Fungible Token market.

Last week, Nike filed a lawsuit against a Detroit-based sneaker and apparel exchange accusing it of selling NFTs that infringe on its trademarks.

Similarly, in January, luxury fashion brand Hermès sued a digital artist for “seeking to get rich quick by appropriating the brand… and facilitating the exchange of digital assets known as non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”),” according to the complaint. 

 

What Is an NFT?

An NFT is a digital asset that can be an image, audio clip, or GIF and whose ownership is recorded on a tamper-proof digital ledger known as a blockchain. 

Nigel Green comments: “Over the last year, the NFTs market has exploded, with a digital-only piece of art selling for $69 million in 2021. 

“Since then, an ever-growing number of celebrities and artists, and fashion, music, tech and sports brands have been creating, buying and selling tokens.”

He continues: “Investors have been piling into NFTs for three main reasons.  

“First, this new digital asset class has value due to the blistering pace of the digitalisation of our world. Millennials and Gen Z especially have digital lives and it’s natural to want to take digital representations of, say, luxury brands, music, sport and art into these worlds - and now they can with NFTs.

“Second, NFTs are making business models, especially in the creative sectors, more profitable and rewarding. 

“Artists and musicians for example can provide enhanced virtual experiences for collectors and buyers, they can prove if their works are counterfeited, and they can include criteria to get royalties every time their works are re-sold in the future.

“And third, this asset class can act as a major diversifier in investment portfolios.”

This last reason, says Nigel Green, is arguably the most important for the majority of investors.

 

Investment Diversification

 

“Proper diversification of a portfolio across asset class, sector, region, and currency is the best way an investor can best position themselves to mitigate risks and to seize opportunities when they are presented.

“NFTs have a very low correlation to other assets, such as stocks and bonds, and can, therefore, lower your portfolio’s overall risk and volatility levels.”

Nigel concludes: “I believe 2022 will be the breakout year for NFTs and, due to the diversifier factor, within five years the decade’s hottest emerging asset class will become a standard feature of investment portfolios.”
