Most European #investors have been watching one of the world's most exciting stock markets - from the outside.

Not because they didn't know the brands. Because the access simply wasn't there.

✍🏼 Korea by the numbers:

🔹 $4.1 trillion total market cap (KOSPI + KOSDAQ, April 2026 all-time high)
🔹 World's #1 performing major stock index in 2025 - KOSPI up nearly 60%, outpacing Nikkei (+25%) and Hang Seng (+32%)
🔹 Home to global leaders in semiconductors, EVs, shipbuilding, defence & entertainment

Samsung. SK Hynix. Hyundai. POSCO. Kakao. You know the brands. The world runs on their products. But putting them in a portfolio? That was another story.

🔓 @IBKR just unlocked #KoreanStocks.

And IB is no ordinary broker:

🔹 170+ markets in 29 currencies from a single platform
🔹 Clients in 200+ countries and territories
🔹 $820 billion in client equity (Feb 2026)
🔹 4.65 million client accounts - growing 31% year-on-year
🔹 The largest electronic broker in the US by daily trades

This is the infrastructure that powers serious portfolios.

🔍 What does this mean for @iMapsCapital ETIs?

Investment managers running iMaps ETIs on Interactive Brokers can now allocate directly to Korean stocks - giving portfolios access to one of the hottest #markets on the planet, wrapped in a collateralised, exchange-listed instrument on @boersestuttgart.

✅ Korean stocks exposure
✅ European regulatory framework
✅ Collateralised & independently trusteed
✅ Daily liquidity on Stuttgart Stock Exchange

Whenever you’re ready to start your own ETI with us and get the access – give us a shout!

You've built a #fund. Maybe it's brand new, maybe it has years of track record behind it. Either way, you're facing the same wall: no ISIN, no exchange listing, no access to retail investors across the EEA and Switzerland where your competitors are raising capital.

Setting up a new UCITS or AIF? That's 12+ months and six-figure compliance costs before you raise a single euro.

At @iMapsCapital we have a solution - the Fund Feeder ETI:

iMaps can wrap your existing fund into an Exchange Traded Instrument (ETI) #listed on @boersestuttgart (EUWAX) - Europe's largest exchange for derivative securities and AMCs.

Here's what that means in practice:

📅 ~30 business days from due diligence to first #trading day
🌍 Retail Public Offering in the whole EEA
🏦 UCITS-eligible, your ETI can serve as a building block inside UCITS & AIF funds
🔒 #Collateralised via Intertrust Group, protecting investors against issuer credit risk
🌏 Private placement access in Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, and most Asian jurisdictions

The fund doesn't change. The strategy doesn't change. The #distribution does.

Whether you manage a hedge fund, a mutual fund, or a non-EU fund that can't be marketed in Europe - the ETI wrapper turns a distribution wall into an exchange-listed product.

No rebuild. No re-registration. No 12-month wait.

Curious how your #fund qualifies? Let's talk!

September 15, 2008. Lehman Brothers files for bankruptcy.

Overnight, thousands of #StructuredProduct investors discover a brutal truth - they don't own #assets. They own a promise. And the one who made that promise just ceased to exist.

They joined a creditors queue that took years to resolve. Many never fully recovered.

Here's why it happened - and why it still happens today with some structured products:

🔷 Your investment sits on the issuer's balance sheet - it's essentially unsecured debt
🔷 Issuer goes under → your assets are part of the insolvency estate
🔷 Recovery process takes years, lawyers take fees, you get whatever's left
🔷 You trusted the product. Nobody told you that you were, legally speaking, just another creditor.

So how does @iMapsCapital think about this differently?

The short answer: iMaps doesn't ask you to trust a promise. It builds a structure where trust isn't required.

🔷 Under Cayman Islands SPC legislation, each portfolio's assets are fully segregated. Portfolio A's troubles? #Portfolio B's investors don't feel a thing.
🔷 Assets are pledged to Collateral Services PTC, a 100% Intertrust Group subsidiary (one of the world's largest trust & corporate services firms), held for the sole benefit of ETI investors. Not iMaps. Not anyone else.
🔷 Every ETI is listed on @boersestuttgart (the largest exchange-based segment for structured investment products in Europe, with ~1.9 million instruments)
🔷 iMaps ETI AG is audited annually.

Lehman collapsed. The promise evaporated.

The #structure? That stays standing. 💪

Let’s talk if you’d like to launch your own ETI as well!

You want to list your ETI in USD. We get it. Here's why we'll talk you out of it. 🔥

Your strategy is 100% USD. EUR/USD moves are messing with your #performance numbers. Investors are asking questions. The fix seems obvious, right?

"Just list the ETI in USD."

Wrong move. And here's why 👇

Changing your listing #currency from EUR to USD doesn't fix your problem. It trades a small headache for a full-blown crisis.

🚫 @boersestuttgart? No USD clearing at most banks & brokers
🚫 Vienna Exchange? Same story - most setups are EUR-only
🚫 @IBKR - 2M+ clients, 200+ countries - can't settle it

You wouldn't be solving a currency problem. You'd be creating a product nobody can physically buy.

Right now your EUR-listed ETI has:

✅ Stuttgart Stock Exchange - Europe's go-to ETI venue, daily market making
✅ Full access via banks and brokers such as Interactive Brokers, UBS, Joebroker etc.
✅ Retail public offering in Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Ireland, Switzerland, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovak Republic, Spain and Sweden.

Burn that down for a USD #listing? That's not an upgrade. That's self-sabotage.

💡 The Real Solution

Here's the #fix: simply hold your underlying assets in USD. The ETI trades in EUR and the chart shows in EUR - but if the underlying assets are held in USD, the currency risk disappears. Just like investing in a S&P 500 ETF: it makes no difference whether you buy it in USD or EUR - in both cases you're exposed to the underlying USD performance.

The listing currency is just the wrapper. The underlying is what drives performance.

So while the EUR/USD exposure is real - it's mostly a communication challenge, not an infrastructure one. Educate your investors on FX dynamics and your investment #strategy. Adjust your reporting. Keep the listing that actually works.

The real pain isn't FX exposure. It's building a product nobody can buy.

Most #investorsthink they understand structure - until something goes wrong. The real question is not “What strategy am I buying?”. It’s “Where exactly are my #assetsheld - and who can access them?”

Because if assets are pooled, cross-liability becomes real. If issuer risk is not addressed, performance becomes secondary.

Now let’s talk practice.

When an ETI is launched on the @iMapsCapital platform, a dedicated #SegregatedPortfolio is created within Pecunia SPC, a Segregated Portfolio Company. That portfolio opens its own brokerage account. The investment manager receives Power of Attorney and executes the #strategy directly in that account. (Hint: we also have a signal provider setting)

That means:

🔸 The assets of Portfolio A are separated from Portfolio B.
🔸 Liabilities of one portfolio cannot spill over into another.
🔸 Creditors of another structure have no recourse to “your” #portfolioassets

But separation alone is not enough. The underlying assets of the Segregated Portfolio are pledged to an independent trustee. This collateralisation mechanism insures the issuer #risk of iMaps ETI AG.

Translated into human terms:

Your strategy is not sitting in a general company account. It is ring-fenced, account-specific, legally separated and pledged for the benefit of the respective ETI investors.

Add to that:

🔸 Listing on EUWAX / @boersestuttgrat - the largest exchange-based segment for structured investment products in Europe (with ~1.9 million instruments)
🔸 Daily exchange #liquidity (09:00–17:30 CET)
🔸 Settlement via Clearstream, Euroclear and SIX

This is not an abstract concept - it is operational infrastructure.

So what does “Segregated Portfolio” mean in practice?

If 100 strategies exist on the platform, each one stands alone. No cross-contamination. No structural overlap. No dependency on another manager’s performance.

In a market where investors increasingly ask “What happens if something fails?”, structure becomes as important as returns.

Performance attracts capital. Structure keeps it.

Recent tensions in the Middle East are first and foremost a reminder of how #fragile stability can be - and our thoughts are with everyone affected by the situation.

Moments like these often lead #investors and observers alike to look more closely at the region itself: its economy, its institutions and the role it plays in global markets.

It’s no secret that in recent years the UAE has gained increasing relevance as a financial hub, supported by new Initial Public Offerings, rising capital flows and growing international investor interest.

For those who believe in the long-term economic trajectory of the #UAE this may be a moment worth watching closely - and #access is no longer the problem.

But how do you turn that access into an investable strategy?

At @iMapsCapital, one of the most frequently used trading venues for ETI portfolios is @IBKR. IB gives access to 170+ markets in 29 currencies from a single platform and serves clients in 200+ countries and territories.

At the end of 2025, Interactive Brokers also started providing trading access to both UAE exchanges - Abu Dhabi (ADX) and Dubai (DFM) - giving investors exposure to 100+ listed equities across the two markets.

This means that a Delegated Investment Manager (or Signal Provider) of an iMaps ETI can include those instruments directly within the ETI portfolio.

The result is simple: a strategy listed as an ETI on the @boersestuttgrat can combine global assets with opportunities from markets like the UAE - while investors access the strategy through a single listed instrument.

Sometimes diversification is not about finding new markets. It’s about having the right #structure to include them.

Because long-term investing often begins where short-term uncertainty dominates the #headlines.

[iMaps Capital Markets @iMapsCapital]

A #strategy change is not a spreadsheet edit. But nothing breaks if the instrument was built for it.

Most problems don’t come from changing a strategy. They come from what the wrapper can’t handle afterward.

In practice, when a strategy evolves, three things usually happen:

1. Execution reality changes: Instruments, liquidity, or trading venues no longer fit the original setup.

2. #Investors get nervous: Because changes often mean interruptions, OTC handling, or unclear timelines.

3. Distribution stalls: Not because #performance is bad - but because the structure isn’t designed for evolution.

At @iMapsCapital, ETIs are structured with this reality in mind.

iMaps ETIs are exchange-listed at @boersestuttgart (EUWAX), traded daily with an appointed Quality Liquidity Provider during market hours (9:00–17:30 CET). Börse Stuttgart processed ~€121bn in trading volume in 2025, with ~€50bn in structured products alone.

That means investors trade on the exchange, not through any other solutions when something changes.

If a strategy setup needs to be adjusted over time, there is a defined amendment path within the ETI framework. It’s not instant - typical timelines are measured in weeks or months, not days. But the key point is #continuity: the product remains an exchange-traded instrument, not a closed chapter.

So, when your strategy changes, here’s the real answer:

🔸 Investors don’t lose access
🔸 The instrument doesn’t disappear
🔸 The track record doesn’t reset

This is why experienced managers don’t ask if the strategy can #change. They ask whether their investment instrument is designed for that change from day one.

At iMaps, that question is answered before the product ever lists.

A strategy is only real if it can #trade its required instruments - reliably, and without adding operational chaos.

In an @iMapsCapital the tradable universe is defined by what your chosen execution venue can trade. iMaps ETIs can include any assets traded on its connected venues (Interactive Brokers, Baader Bank, ActivTrades, Coinbase, Tier1FX, Vantage), considering that the asset manager needs to define the trading instruments before the launch.

So, what can you trade inside the (underlying SP of the) ETI?

🔹 Stocks, ETFs, and/or depositary receipts
🔹 Bonds
🔹 Warrants
🔹 Options
🔹 Futures
🔹 CFDs
🔹 Long positions in mutual funds
🔹 Long positions in alternative investment funds
🔹 Long positions in complex or leveraged exchange traded products
🔹 FOREX/currencies
🔹 Cryptocurrencies

🔍 Let’s have a closer look at the execution venues:

🔸 @IBKR - a true market leader: 3.384 million daily average revenue trades in Dec 2025, $779.9B client equity, and ~4.4M accounts, with access to 150+ markets.
🔸 Baader Bank - the “fund access” engine in our setup: when the asset manager wants to invest into special investment funds, Baader Bank is the route we take.
🔸 @ActivTrades, @VantageAppMkt, @Tier1FXGlobal - CFD brokers for tactical execution: with ActivTrades reporting ~€7B monthly trading volume; Vantage offering 1,000+ instruments, 15+ years of market experience and publishing 26 awards in 2024 and Tier1FX operating under MFSA license IS18954 as the brokerage division of Hogg Capital Investments Ltd.
🔸 @coinbase - institutional crypto at real scale: 275+ digital assets tradable, 340+ trading pairs, and custody for 470+ assets across 52 chains via Coinbase Prime’s institutional stack (so your ETI crypto sleeve isn’t “limited to BTC/ETH,” it’s a broad universe)

Moreover, iMaps ETIs are listed on @boersestuttgart (EUWAX) - largest exchange-based retail market for securitized derivatives, and the exchange group reports 1.9M+ securities listed.

Most #investors ask the same question before allocating capital to an exchange-traded instrument (ETI):
“Can I actually get in and out without pain?’’

Because if you can’t sell when you want - that’s risk - not opportunity.

In real markets, liquidity isn’t about buzzwords - it’s about transaction cost and exit #certainty. Traditional ETFs, for example, have two layers of #liquidity:

🔹 Primary market liquidity is driven by the underlying assets. Dealers can create or redeem shares to meet demand.
🔹 Secondary market liquidity arises from trading volume and the bid-ask spread investors see on screen.

That means a vehicle listed on an exchange can be liquid even if its own trading volume looks modest. What really matters is how easily the underlying exposure can be traded and how tightly buyers and sellers align in price.

Now here’s the practical part for ETIs issued by @iMapsCapital:

✔ ETIs trade on the @boersestuttgart just like ETFs or shares - you can buy or sell them through your broker during trading hours (for iMaps ETIs those are 9 – 17.30 CET).
✔ iMaps structures and lists these products with daily market liquidity, meaning order books are live every business day based on investor interest and exchange mechanisms.
✔ For investors, that translates into quick #execution and transparent pricing - not waiting days, not guessing whether a buyer will show up. Quotes and spreads are visible on screen in real time.

In the end, liquidity isn’t a promise. It’s a mechanism.

And when designed properly, it turns an investment idea into something investors can actually use.

[iMaps Capital Markets @iMapsCapital]

Many wonder: can you market ETIs to #retail investors in Europe?

The short answer is: only if you understand what “retail” actually means in Europe.

Unlike the U.S., Europe is not one market. Retail public offering is jurisdiction-specific, approval-driven, and tightly linked to prospectus passporting. Many #investment products fail at this point - not because of performance, but because they cannot be legally offered to retail investors in the first place.

A #strategy may be attractive. The wrapper may be listed. But without a valid retail public offering, distribution stops at professional investors.

@iMapsCapital ETIs change this.

Under an approved base prospectus, ETIs can be publicly offered to retail investors in multiple European countries (Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Ireland, Switzerland, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovak Republic, Spain, and Sweden). That means no private placement, no professional-only limitation, and no bespoke onboarding.

For retail investors, however, #availability is defined by how and where they can invest.

Retail investors invest through their existing banks and brokers. They expect to find an investment in their account, see a live price, and trade it during market hours.

That is why exchange listing matters. iMaps ETIs are listed on @boersestuttgart - the largest exchange-based segment for structured investment products in Europe (with ~1.9 million instruments) and can be bought like a share or an ETF, via existing banks and brokers such as @IBKR, @comdirect, Smartbroker and more.

And because they trade on exchange, they come with daily liquidity and visible pricing throughout the trading day (with trading hours 9:00–17:30 CET for iMaps ETIs).

From the investor’s perspective, there is no “product complexity”. There is “only” a listed instrument, available in their account, tradable during market hours.

So can ETIs be marketed to retail investors in Europe?

Yes - when they are:

🔹 Approved for retail public offering
🔹 Listed on EUWAX Stuttgart
🔹 Tradable via existing banks and brokers
🔹 Liquid on a daily basis

Anything else is not retail distribution. It’s just a theory. 😉

As the year winds down and the markets prepare for their traditional #holiday pause, we want to take a moment to say #ThankYou - to every investment manager, advisor, and partner who helped make 2025 another record-breaking year for listed strategies on the iMaps platform.

Because while most people wrap gifts, you wrapped up portfolios, rebalanced positions, onboarded new investors, and pushed new ideas into the market - often all at once.

And we’re very happy to have been the infrastructure powering that momentum.

To the builders of strategies. The shapers of markets. The teams scaling faster than ever …

In 2025, we saw you:

Turning a vision into an exchange-listed investment product - with daily liquidity on EUWAX Stuttgart, collateralization, seamless execution via Interactive Brokers and other global brokers, and a cross-border promotion across Europe and beyond.

A structure that makes strategies investable. A listing that makes them visible. A vehicle that helps them scale.

And in 2026? We wish you to get your (next) #strategy listed. 😉

From our team to yours - Merry Christmas and a powerful start into #2026.

Whether you’re already running an ETI or preparing your first (or next) one, we’re here to support your next chapter.

Thank you for your trust - and for letting iMaps be the platform behind the products you bring to the world.

Here’s to a bright Christmas…
and an even brighter, fully-listed 2026.

Every investment strategy has potential, but not every strategy has the right vehicle.

At @iMapsCapital, the first structural decision shapes everything that follows: Retail ETI or Professional ETI. Two frameworks. Two audiences. One exchange-listed architecture built for scale.

Both are listed on EUWAX (Stuttgart). Both offer daily liquidity. Both are based on a collateralised segregated portfolio. The difference lies in how far (and to whom) your strategy can travel.

1) #Retail ETI - The Distribution Engine

If your goal is reach, this is the structure designed for it.

🔸 Retail Public Offering across Europe
🔸 100 EUR denomination - accessible from day one
🔸 4.5% p.a. fee cap for predictable cost control
🔸 Works seamlessly with brokers such as @IBKR, @comdirect, @smartbrokerplus, and most banks
🔸 Direct access for everyday investors without intermediaries

It brings your strategy into the open market.

2) #Professional ETI - The Precision Instrument

When your #investor base is experienced - and your strategy demands range - you step into the Professional setup.

🔹 Offering to Professional & Qualified Investors
🔹 Up to 149 retail investors per year via private placement
🔹 1,000 EUR denomination
🔹 6% p.a. fee cap for more structural flexibility
🔹 Same transparency, same liquidity, wider strategic bandwidth

It’s the structure for managers who need room to deploy, adjust, and refine.

Choose Retail when scale matters. Choose Professional when precision matters. Both paths lead to one place: a listed on EUWAX @boersestuttgart, liquid, collateralised investment product that finally lets your strategy operate without constraints.

Need some help to decide which one of those fits your needs best? Let’s talk!

Most #investors know the big global exchanges. Far fewer know that the engine room powering Europe’s structured product and AMC ecosystem is EUWAX Stuttgart.

Unmatched Scale & Product Depth

#EUWAX hosts the largest selection of listed structured products in Europe. With ~1.9 million instruments available, the segment gives asset managers and investors an unparalleled universe of market-access #tools. When an ETI is listed here, it doesn’t disappear in the crowd - it joins a high-traffic, high-visibility marketplace.

Market Quality Is Designed, Not Hoped For

A dedicated Quality #Liquidity Provider (QLP) mechanism ensures tight spreads and fast execution: ~70% of all orders execute within 3 seconds. For listed ETIs, that level of reliability is more than a convenience - it defines investability.

#Access Through the Brokers Investors Actually Use

One of EUWAX’s biggest advantages: ETIs listed here are accessible through your banks and brokers. Most notably:

🔸 Interactive Brokers (IBKR) - ETIs can be traded directly by entering the ISIN.
🔸 Swissquote - full access for Swiss investors.
🔸 Traditional private banks and retail banks across Europe.

A Venue Designed Around Transparency

With trading hours 9:00–17:30 CET for iMaps ETIs, real-time pricing and full settlement integration via Clearstream, Euroclear and SIX, #StuttgartStockExchange forms the backbone of trust. Investors and issuers benefit from a fully harmonised environment where listings, pricing, and settlement follow the same high standard - every single day.

EUWAX has become the go-to marketplace for AMCs and ETIs in Europe - both for retail and professional investors.

Why This Matters?

▪️ For investors: ETIs become accessible like shares or ETFs - on platforms they already use.
▪️ For asset managers: Listing with iMaps means your strategy lands on Europe’s most liquid and fastest-growing AMC marketplace.
▪️ For the ecosystem: EUWAX provides the efficiency, transparency, and distribution reach modern #strategies need.

You think you’re asking the right questions. But you might be skipping the one that matters.

When you consider #investing in a product issued by a third party, you often ask: “What’s the return?” or “How liquid is it?”. But there’s one equally important question to ask, and that question is:

“What happens if the issuer fails?”

When Trust Becomes a Blind Spot

🔸 Investment products carry issuer #risk: the risk that the issuer cannot honour its obligations (creditworthiness, insolvency).
🔸 For many products, the issuer is simply a corporate or banking entity, and in a stress scenario, investor claims might be compromised.
🔸 In the securitization world: although the EU framework has strengthened, it has also increased #costs and complexity, limiting participation and potentially increasing hidden risks.

The Architecture of Protection

@iMapsCapital structure was built differently. Each ETI is linked 1:1 to a Segregated Portfolio held at our wholly owned subsidiary Pecunia SPC. The Segregated Portfolio serve as hedge and collateral for the ETI.

They are pledged to Collateral Services PTC, a 100 % subsidiary of Intertrust Group, for the sole benefit of ETI investors.

In plain terms:

🔹 The ETI’s underlying assets are fully ring-fenced from the issuer’s bankruptcy risk.
🔹 The pledge ensures investor claims are #secured and prioritized.
🔹 Even if the issuer were to default, the pledged assets are used exclusively to meet investor entitlements and do not form part of any bankruptcy estate.

So, our advice is, before you invest, always ask: “Who really owns the assets behind the product?”

If the answer sounds vague, you’re already carrying more risk than you think.

Last Thursday @iMapsCapital team attended the Deutscher Zertifikatepreis 2025 in Frankfurt - for the first time as a three-person delegation.

We were nominated in more than ten categories and made it into the top ten ranks in three of them (narrowly missing the podium in one 😉)

A big thank you to everyone who voted for iMaps and to the organisers for recognising the value of independent issuers in this industry.

We take this as encouragement to keep doing what we do best: building listed, collateralised ETIs backed by pledged assets - giving investors exchange-traded access to strategies that can trade nearly everything: from equities and futures/options to crypto and FX, executed through banks and brokers such as @IBKR, @coinbase,@ActivTrades, @VantageAppMkt, Hogg Capital Investments Ltd, Baader Bank

Most asset managers don’t fail because of their strategy. They fail because of their structure. You can design a brilliant, multi-asset #trading model, but if your fund vehicle only lets you access a limited set of instruments,
your edge gets lost in restriction and regulation.

That’s the issue: great strategy, small playground.

Now imagine the opposite: you issue a listed ETI via @iMapsCapital, plugged into the full global infrastructure of @IBKR, @VantageAppMkt, @ActivTrades, @coinbase, @CryptoFinanceAG, Baader Bank, Hogg Capital Investments Ltd.

That means access to:

✅ 160 + markets
✅ 28 currencies
✅ Millions of tradable instruments

Equities, bonds, futures, options, funds, commodities, crypto, FX – you name it. If one of the brokers mentioned above can execute it, your #ETI can trade it.

And that is not it! Your ETI is also listed on EUWAX (Stuttgart Stock Exchange) - Europe’s largest segment for structured & leverage products, with ~1.9 million listed securities and growing.

In 2024, the Börse Stuttgart Group saw its overall trading volume rise 16 %, while its crypto custody reached EUR 4.3 billion.

That’s scale.
That’s #liquidity.
That’s credibility.

iMaps makes it possible to:

🔸 Launch a listed ETI in weeks
🔸 Retain your strategy and execution freedom
🔸 Trade across asset classes
🔸 Advertise across Europe with a fully collateralised, exchange-listed product

When your structure opens the world, your #performance can finally match your vision.

Launch your strategy.
Trade millions of instruments.
Be listed. Be visible. Be scalable.

Innovation in #AssetManagement isn’t just about building great strategies anymore – it’s about how fast you can bring it to market.

Between regulatory friction, distribution complexity, and the pressure of shrinking margins, even the best-performing #strategies risk staying unseen.

That’s where Exchange Traded Instruments (ETIs) are quietly (or not so much) becoming the new backbone of modern portfolio structuring.

With @iMapsCapital you get:

✅ Speed – From concept to exchange listing in a few weeks, not years.
✅ Access – Your investors can buy it over their existing Bank or Broker, such as @UBS, Baader Bank, SwissQuote, @IBKR and more.
✅ Scalability – One vehicle, multiple jurisdictions, ready for retail and institutional investors alike.
✅ Control – The asset manager retains full discretion over strategy execution. You can execute your strategy via Interactive Brokers, Vantage @ActivTrades, @coinbase, etc.

Here are some extra stats if we may:

🔹 The Euwax (Stuttgart) currently lists ~1.9 million securities – making it largest exchange segment for securitized derivatives.
🔹 As of December 2024, Euwax AG supports trading of 2.3 million+ instruments in its role as Quality Liquidity Provider.
🔹 IB’s total assets reached USD 181.5 billion in mid-2025
🔹 Interactive Brokers gives access to 160+ markets in 28+ currencies with a daily average revenue trade volume in the millions, supports algorithmic and multi-asset #trading, and provides institutional tools like TWS.

ETIs are no longer niche; they’re the professional’s shortcut to #visibility, liquidity, and credibility without giving up independence.

As of 2025, iMaps ETI AG has structured over CHF 600 million across 100+ listed ETIs, helping managers across Europe transform their strategies into listed, collateralised products investors can trade daily.

The future of active management won’t be built in boardrooms – it will be #listed.

Think about the last fund you saw launched: we’re talking about millions in seed #capital before you even hear about it. That’s not an accident. Traditional fund structures demand massive upfront commitments just to cover legal, regulatory, and operational overhead.

That’s the pain most asset managers face:

🔹 You have a #strategy, a track record, maybe even committed investors - but you're blocked by €10M+ seed requirements just to get started.
🔹 You get bogged down in licensing, depositaries, cross-jurisdiction structuring, and regulatory hurdles.
🔹 The risk is that you never make it off the drawing board because you can’t raise the seed size to justify all the fixed #costs.

But here’s what we do differently at @iMapsCapital:

✅ We help you launch a fully compliant, exchange-listed ETI with as little as €500,000 in seed capital
✅ We handle the legal structure, custody, listing and all the heavy setup, so you just bring your strategy and #investors
✅ The product becomes tradable on @boersestuttgart - Europe’s largest marketplace for structured products (with an estimated 1.7 to 1.9 million products listed)
✅ Your investors can buy the ETI like a stock or ETF over their existing bank/broker, such as @IBKR, Baader Bank, @Swissquote, @UBS, etc.
✅ You avoid the burdensome fixed overhead and can scale gradually, not “all or nothing”

Why ETIs make this possible?

iMaps ETIs (in a form of Actively Managed Certificates / Fund-Linked Notes) are structured to be asset-backed, fully collateralised, and exchange-listed instruments. Our solution lets you wrap your strategy into a #tradable product without building a fund from the scratch.

So if your barrier to entry isn’t lack of strategy – let’s get in touch! The infrastructure is ready. 😉

Asset managers spend months (sometimes years) designing alpha-generating #strategies. But when it comes to launch, the hurdles pile up:

🔸 Setting up a fund takes 12–18 months on average.
🔸 Costs can easily exceed €250,000 before the first investor comes on board.
🔸 Distribution across borders requires regulatory approvals and infrastructure few boutiques have.

Result? Brilliant strategies remain stuck in slide decks instead of live markets.

That’s where @iMapsCapital steps in:

🔸 Exchange listing in about 30 days: Your strategy becomes a listed Exchange Traded Instrument (ETI) on Stuttgart’s EUWAX, Europe’s largest marketplace for structured products (with an estimated 1.7 to 1.9 million products listed).
🔸 Global investor access: Tradable via @IBKR, Baader Bank and other major platforms, just like a stock or ETF.
🔸 Investor protection: Each ETI is linked to a segregated portfolio, with assets pledged to an independent trustee for the sole benefit of #investors.
🔸 Efficient and scalable: From niche strategies to larger mandates, the structure works without the heavy setup of a traditional fund.

iMaps turns investment ideas into listed, investable products without the long wait, heavy costs, or regulatory dead ends.

From strategy to exchange in a month. That’s how alpha moves off the shelf and into the market.

Most structured products leave investors vulnerable to issuer default - a #risk that might be far more pressing than assumed. For instance, speculative-grade (i.e., "junk") bonds carry a long-term average default rate around 5 percent, and in stress periods, it can spike to 9 percent.

In Q2 2025, U.S. private credit issuers’ default rate climbed to 5.5 percent, up from 4.5 percent in Q1. That’s not hypothetical, it’s real, recurring risk in today's markets.

Imagine #investing in a promising #StructuredProduct, then the issuer folds, and your capital goes down with them. That’s a blind spot most investors can’t afford.

With @iMapsCapital, that scenario gets a hard pass. Here's how:

🔹 Every structured product is backed by a Segregated Portfolio - legally ring‑fenced within our own subsidiary, fully isolated in terms of assets and liabilities.
🔹 That Segregated Portfolio is #collateralized, held with an independent trustee - exclusively for investors’ benefit.
🔹 Even if iMaps ETI AG hits trouble, your investment stays shielded - no cross‑contamination across portfolios.
🔹 Plus, our process is efficient, and cost-effective, with a typical launch timeline of about 30 business days.

Why it’s so important?

When structured-product issuers fail (and hint: they do) investor #capital doesn’t vanish quietly. That’s the pain most don’t see coming. With iMaps, your capital doesn’t depend on the survival of the issuer. It depends on a structure built to #protect you.
