About Luc Froehlich
I work at the meeting point of private credit and on-chain finance.
I'm interested in the parts of finance that decide whether investors get treated well: how credit is underwritten, how liquidity and duration are matched, whether governance holds when markets turn. Good governance doesn't loosen in booms and break in stress.
Background. I have spent 20+ years across credit markets and investment platforms. I started in private credit at Credit Suisse in Zurich, then moved to London (MUFG) to trade and co-manage credit derivatives portfolios and advise on credit exposure. In Asia, I helped build Manulife’s corporate credit franchise and managed multi-currency bond portfolios for institutional investors, including central banks and pension plans. At Fidelity International, I held global fixed income product leadership roles and then built the firm's digital-assets business from nothing - the strategy, the governance framework, its first Bitcoin ETP, and its investment in the first tokenised government green bond.
Today. I work on how institutional credit moves on-chain - how it is originated, structured, and governed well enough for serious capital to fund it. I sit on the board of Platform-D, the on-chain securitisation platform accepted into the Bank of England's Digital Securities Sandbox. I co-authored three World Economic Forum reports on digital currencies and capital markets, lectured on digital assets at St. Gallen, CUHK and National Chengchi, and hold the CFA and CAIA charters alongside an MSc in blockchain
I write and speak about private credit, structured finance, payments-adjacent credit, tokenisation, and the practical governance needed for institutional on-chain finance.
