LOS ANGELES, June 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Wave Financial Group, a leading diversified investment and asset management firm focused on digital assets and blockchain technology, is pleased to announce the hiring of Henry K. Elder as Director of Investment Strategy. Elder brings an extensive background in structuring investment products backed by physical assets as well as asset tokenization, and will be responsible for managing client relationships and product strategy.
