Hedgehog helps people gain financial exposure to commercial real estate and renewable assets. Hedgehog has a simple mission: to make it possible for eligible individual investors to access some of the benefits of investing in real-world assets. Via its investment funds, Hedgehog gives eligible individual investors exposure to real-world assets,such as real estate and infrastructure, of a size and quality that would otherwise be out of reach. Blockchain technology makes this possible. Hedgehog will be using ‘tokenisation’ technology, underpinned by blockchain-based smart contracts, to offer digital tokens that are backed by income generated, directly or indirectly, by real-world assets. The technology helps Hedgehog remove barriers to entry and lets eligible individuals shape their own portfolio composition. Technology helps Hedgehog make it more accessible and efficient for people to invest through its digital and automatic investment process. Hedgehog envisages an exciting future, and tokenisation is the first step in giving investors access to liquidity, which would otherwise not have been available for these asset classes. Hedgehog has already secured investment opportunities in more than £1.15bn of real assets, including warehouses, content studios, renewable energy infrastructure and more.
