Fund Linked Notes
Unlock EU Market Access with Fund Linked Notes
Are you a fund manager struggling to market your fund to EU investors due to passporting restrictions? Our company offers a seamless solution to expand your reach and tap into the European market. By repackaging your existing fund into a structured security, known as a Fund Linked Note, we can list it on EUWAX Stuttgart – the largest exchange for structured securities in Europe. Fund-Linked Notes issued under our approved issuance programme not only grants passporting distribution rights across Europe and several Asian countries, but also provides numerous benefits to your investment strategy.
What are Fund Linked Notes?
Fund Linked Notes are innovative structured securities that mirror the performance of an underlying fund or a basket of underlying funds. Unlike traditional fund units, these notes benefit from passporting rights, allowing them to be marketed and distributed throughout the European Union. In case of single-fund Fund-Linked Notes the distribution is limited to professional investors and private placement to several retail investors – in case of a basket of funds marketing rights can be granted even for retail public offerings. This is an ideal solution for fund managers looking to overcome regulatory hurdles and attract European and Asian investors.
Investors can invest in ETIs by simply buying them on the Stuttgart Stock Exchange, just as easily as buying a share or an ETF. They can either purchase ETIs through their regular bank/broker or use international online brokers such as Interactive Brokers or Swissquote.
Stock Exchange — ETIs trade on the Stuttgart Stock Exchange, the largest exchange globally for Structured Investment Products and Actively Managed Certificates.
iMaps ETI Platform — iMaps ETI AG issues the ETI units under an approved base prospectus for the issuance of Exchange Traded Instruments. iMaps passports the offering into the desired European countries, lists the ETI units on the stock exchange, and invests the proceeds from the issuance into the underlying assets. These underlying assets are pledged to Intertrust Group for the benefit of the ETI Investors to protect them from any Issuer Risk.
Segregated Portfolio — iMaps instructs the creation of a Segregated Portfolio by its subsidiary for each ETI, and the designated Segregated Portfolio serves as the underlying for the ETI units. The Segregated Portfolio is set up as a feeder into the fund or portfolio of funds and simply invests the proceeds into the underlying fund or portfolio of funds.
