  • FlexFunds celebrates 15 years expanding its public and private investment vehicle offering for LATAM and US Offshore. 
  • The company has played a key role in the evolution of asset securitization over the past 15 years, democratizing access to these vehicles
  • With more than 500 issuances and over USD 6 billion securitized across more than 30 countries, the company consolidates one of the most comprehensive offerings for managers, advisors, and institutions.

In recent years, the investment vehicle market has evolved toward more agile, scalable, and globally distributable solutions. What once required complex structures and fragmented processes now demands platforms capable of integrating structuring, issuance, and international distribution under institutional standards.

In this context, FlexFunds has evolved from a company focused on securitization into a global end-to-end solutions platform for public and private investment vehicles in LATAM and US Offshore.

The integration of structuring solutions offered jointly with Leverage Shares and Themes ETFs, companies within the same financial group, has significantly expanded its offering, incorporating capabilities ranging from ETPs listed in Europe to ETFs listed on Nasdaq.

After 15 years, the company consolidates one of the most comprehensive offerings for managers, advisors, and institutions seeking to access international markets with greater operational efficiency, scalability, and global distribution capacity.

The origin of FlexFunds: Closing the gap

FlexFunds was born with a clear vision: to democratize access to asset securitization and investment vehicles that were historically reserved for large institutions. 

The company identified that the main challenge was not only financial, but also operational, regulatory, and technological. Many managers faced limitations in accessing international investors, high structural costs, difficulties scaling their strategies, and liquidity constraints in certain assets.

To address this need, FlexFunds developed a platform capable of transforming investment ideas into operational, regulated, and scalable solutions, integrating structuring, issuance, and operations into a single model. 

This approach made it possible to transform fragmented processes into an efficient solution that facilitates global investor access, improves strategy scalability, and optimizes the operational structure without the need to develop proprietary infrastructure.

From point solution to global platform: The evolution of FlexFunds

Over these 15 years, FlexFunds has evolved from a solution focused on specific needs in investment vehicle design into its own end-to-end model within a single platform, enabling more efficient, standardized, and scalable execution.

This evolution has been marked by:

  • Greater operational sophistication 
  • International expansion to more than 30 countries 
  • Continuous adaptation to different regulatory frameworks, including structures with issuance under Irish jurisdiction 
  • Ability to serve multiple asset types, strategies, and client profiles 

FlexFunds has established itself as a financial infrastructure that enables the issuance, structuring, and distribution of investment vehicles within a global institutional framework.

An infrastructure designed to execute

The maturity FlexFunds has reached is reflected in its execution capacity.

The company has developed a platform that enables the structuring and issuance of investment vehicles in 6 to 8 weeks. This is significantly more efficient than conventional alternatives such as investment funds structured in the Caribbean or Luxembourg.

This execution capacity is rooted in a key structural decision: the use of issuance vehicles under Irish jurisdiction. Ireland is the main European hub for securitization SPVs, recognized for its tax efficiency, legal certainty, and access to international markets.

Its model includes:

  • Issuance of instruments with ISIN code 
  • International distribution via Euroclear 
  • Integration with Bloomberg, Morningstar, Reuters, ICE (Intercontinental Exchange), and other platforms 
  • Institutional reporting and public track record generation 

This allows managers to access international markets, optimize costs, and scale their strategies under institutional standards.

“Before working with FlexFunds’ FlexPortfolio, my day-to-day as an advisor was marked by scattered and inefficient operations. With the incorporation of FlexPortfolio, today I execute a single order for the entire portfolio and all clients with the same profile are aligned in exactly the same way. The entire system gains order and a more institutional status, which allows me to focus on strategy and client support” says Luis Kabbas, managing partner at Norte Gestión y Finanzas and Portfolio Manager of the managed ETP, through Inviu.

FlexFunds has helped transform a traditionally complex process into a more efficient, scalable, and adaptable solution.

FlexFunds’ real impact on the industry

FlexFunds’ impact is reflected both in its scale and in its execution capacity:

  • More than 500 investment vehicle issuances (Exchange-Traded Notes, ETNs)
  • More than USD 6 billion in securitized assets across more than 30 countries 
  • More than 200 clients globally 

Beyond the numbers, its impact is reflected across three key dimensions:

  • It has broadened access to securitization, enabling a greater number of managers and advisors to structure investment products on competitive terms.
  • It has helped make the process more efficient, reducing timelines and operational complexity.
  • It establishes asset securitization as a practical and scalable solution for a wider universe of managers. 

Additionally, this operational capacity has been validated in high-demand environments, such as the global COVID-19 crisis, during which the company structured and issued more than 30 investment vehicles (ETPs) across various regions, demonstrating agile adaptation that enabled it to maintain client proximity and commercial activity.

FlexFunds’ operational capacity has been validated in high-demand environments, maintaining continuity and adaptation in global disruption scenarios.

A global platform backed by international institutions

FlexFunds has consolidated its offering through strategic partnerships with global institutions such as Bank of New York, Bloomberg, Morningstar, and Interactive Brokers, among others, ensuring operational standards aligned with international markets. 

One of the most significant developments in its evolution has been the integration of a global end-to-end solutions platform together with Leverage Shares and Themes ETFs, companies within the same financial group.

This integration makes it possible to offer the most comprehensive lineup of public and private investment vehicles in LATAM and US Offshore, combining structuring, issuance, and international distribution capabilities within a single operational infrastructure.

The platform covers:

  • Regulated public offering vehicles
  • ETPs listed in Europe
  • ETFs listed on Nasdaq
  • International distribution via Euroclear
  • Institutional reporting and access to global platforms

This approach gives managers, advisors, and institutions access to a more efficient, scalable infrastructure aligned with international market standards. 

“FlexFunds has facilitated the launch of our fund through the structuring of the instrument. So far, the operation has been extremely user-friendly and transparent. The custody of assets at Bank of New York is very secure for us, and transactions are carried out in a timely manner”, says Mariano Battaglia, president of Cucchiara Agente de Valores.

Where the industry is headed

Investment vehicles will continue evolving toward more personalized, agile, and technologically integrated solutions. 

Managers will demand greater execution speed, transparency, and the ability to adapt to new assets and distribution channels.

In this context, platforms that integrate structuring, issuance, and reporting will be key to market development.

FlexFunds: An infrastructure in evolution

After 15 years, FlexFunds has established itself as a global platform that combines experience, operational capacity, and continuous adaptation.

Looking ahead, the company remains committed to continuously refining its model and strengthening its execution capacity to respond to an increasingly demanding market.Its goal is not simply to grow in volume, but to become a go-to partner for managers, advisors, and institutions seeking to structure and distribute public and private investment vehicles with global reach.
