Wells Fargo’s wealth and investment management division will soon be rolling out an actively managed crypto strategy.
- The investment strategy has been in development for months and is likely to be available to qualified investors around mid-June, Darrell Cronk, president of Wells Fargo Investment Institute, told Business Insider on Wednesday.
- “We think the cryptocurrency space has just kind of hit an evolution and maturation of its development that allows it now to be a viable investable asset,” Cronk said.
- Cronk said that crypto is an evolving asset that requires deep due diligence. He labelled it an “alternative investment” rather than “strategic allocation.”
- Wells Fargo is one of the U.S.’s largest financial services companies, with assets of almost $2 trillion.
