Frontiers · Global Equities · Traditional vs tokenised
Traditional share. Tokenised share. Linked exposure.
“RWA” is a broad tokenisation category. It does not mean every token gives its holder direct ownership of the referenced company.
Traditional versus tokenised shares
Identify the legal claim behind each structure, then compare wrapper fees, pass-through and exit discounts.
Understand the instrument first
Five ways to hold equity exposure — and what each does not prove.
| Structure | What to establish | What must not be assumed |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional registered share | Recorded share ownership in the issuer’s register | That every share class has identical voting or dividend rights |
| Traditional broker-held share | Beneficial interest through securities intermediaries | That the investor personally appears on the issuer register |
| Issuer-sponsored tokenised security | Issuer-authorised security and authoritative ownership record | That a differently issued token class has the same rights |
| Custodial tokenised interest | Underlying securities, custodian and investor entitlement | Unconditional redemption, full segregation or frictionless transfer |
| Synthetic linked exposure | Contractual claim against the product issuer / counterparty | Share ownership or claims against the referenced company |
US SEC sources distinguish issuer-sponsored, custodial and synthetic models. Rights depend on the actual instrument and jurisdiction. Read the SEC statement.
Wrapper contract terms
Hypothetical terms, not default properties of all tokenised stocks.
The underlying company scenario stays the same.
Traditional versus specified wrapper
Contractual cash economics side by side.
| Measure | Traditional case | Wrapper case |
|---|---|---|
| Annualised IRR | 7.8% | 7.2% |
| Investor NPV | -$6,300 | -$8,125 |
| Passed gross dividends | $8,339 | $8,339 |
| Total modelled fees | $1,208 | $3,892 |
| Final net sale | $75,355 | $75,355 |
| Investor net profit | $32,800 | $30,116 |
Wrapper costs are added to ordinary account costs. Dividend pass-through applies before withholding. Exit discount applies before sale fees.
Record format is not the entire investment.
A token balance alone cannot answer these questions.
Check voting, distributions, corporate actions, transfer eligibility, settlement, custody, redemptions, insolvency treatment and the legally authoritative register. Tokenisation does not guarantee a liquid market, around-the-clock executable prices or access for every investor.
