  • 03. generates inherent market demand from platform funds, motivated to hold the token for both investment and utility attributes
  • 04. offers participation in a captive fund of funds that charges no fees and has consistently been ranked as a top-performing fund in its peer group globally
  • 05. fuels a platform that is rapidly acquiring clients and is an established leader in the market, and
  • 06. provides the comfort of a regulated, award-winning fund platform with a well-established global brand.

The AKJ Ecosystem is operated by the AKJ Group of companies (being AKJt Holdings Limited and AK Jensen Group Limited and their subsidiaries).
