FlexFunds offers a solution specifically designed for asset managers, family offices, broker dealers, and financial advisors looking to transform their strategies into listed, internationally accessible, and scalable investment vehicles.

Through its securitization program, it enables the conversion of a portfolio into an ETP (Exchange-Traded Product) with an ISIN code, facilitating international distribution and access to institutional infrastructure.

What problem does FlexFunds solve for managers?

Many managers face key challenges:

  • Limitations in accessing international investors.
  • High operational and structural costs.
  • Difficulties in scaling strategies.
  • Lack of liquidity in certain assets.

FlexFunds addresses these points by enabling the issuance of listed vehicles that combine:

  • Global investor access.
  • Operational efficiency.
  • Scalability.
  • Enhanced liquidity.

How does the securitization process work?

The FlexFunds program transforms an asset portfolio into a listed investment vehicle, acting as a comprehensive coordinator:

Step 1: ETP analysis and design

Assets, risk profile, and manager objectives are evaluated to design a fully customized vehicle.

Step 2: Due diligence and contracting

The risk committee validates the structure, and the engagement letter is signed, defining the terms and responsibilities of the relationship.

Step 3: Structuring and documentation

Manager onboarding is completed and key documents are prepared to give the ETP its legal and operational form.

Step 4: Issuance and listing

The issuer SPV is created, an ISIN or CUSIP is assigned, and the vehicle is ready to trade on markets.

Step 5: Global distribution

The ETP is traded and distributed through Euroclear, facilitating access for international investors through banks and brokers.

Launch your own listed vehicle in just 6–8 weeks

FlexFunds coordinates the entire process from start to finish, offering a “turnkey” solution that significantly reduces the operational burden on the manager.

Structured vehicles have access to top-tier global providers, including:

  • International custody and brokerage.
  • Fund administration and accounting.
  • NAV calculation.
  • Back-office services.

This allows the strategy to be distributed through banking platforms, custodians, and institutional networks.

Access global markets through an ISIN and Euroclearable structure

Strategic benefits for managers

FlexFunds solutions offer clear strategic benefits for portfolio managers:

International distribution

ETPs can be marketed internationally thanks to their listed and Euroclearable structure.

Scalability

They enable the transformation of local or private strategies into products with global reach.

Operational efficiency

Outsourcing key processes reduces costs and complexity.

Asset flexibility

They can be structured across multiple asset classes:

  • Financial assets.
  • Real estate.
  • Private equity.
  • Alternative strategies.

Access to liquidity

Types of strategies that can be structured

The program is especially useful for:

It is also viable for projects from USD 1 million, broadening access for emerging managers.

How are structured vehicles built?

ETPs created by FlexFunds:

  • Are in ETN (Exchange-Traded Note) format.
  • Are backed by underlying assets.
  • Separate the vehicle’s risk from the manager’s balance sheet.
  • Are customizable (name, strategy, structure).

This allows the manager to maintain control over their strategy while accessing an institutional structure.

Speed and efficiency: A competitive advantage

One of the key differentiators is the speed of execution:

  • Issuance time: 6 to 8 weeks.
  • Streamlined and centralized process.
  • Reduced barriers to entry.

Structure and list your strategy in under 2 months

Integration with the global financial ecosystem

One of the appealing aspects of FlexFunds ETPs is that they can integrate with:

  • Private banking platforms.
  • International custodians.
  • Global brokers.

This facilitates investor access and enhances distribution capacity.
