Institutional-grade real estate assets, which are stable and profitable in nature, were previously inaccessible to retail investors. However, recent technological and regulatory advancements have lowered the barriers to entry. 

Using blockchain technology to tokenise property investments, Singapore-based investment platform Shareable Asset (SA) allows investors to fractionally own institutional-grade real estate assets. Of the five financial technology-driven securities companies utilising blockchain technology that have been approved in the city state, SA is the first to provide such assets to retail investors, says its co-founder and executive chairman Will Lee.
