In the structured finance landscape, SPVs have become an essential tool for designing investment alternatives that are efficient, flexible, and secure.

What makes them so attractive is the range of benefits they offer—such as capital raising, risk isolation, and asset securitization, among others.

We provide our services under the Global Note Programs through several entities that perform different activities. Among these entities are FlexFunds ETP LLC (“FlexFunds ETP”), which acts as Calculation Agent, and FlexFunds Ltd. (“FlexFunds Ltd”), which acts as the Arranger/Program Coordinator. Before making a decision to invest in the Global Note Programs, you should consider the following:

Independent entities. FlexFunds ETP and FlexFunds Ltd. are not managers of the special purpose vehicles, collectively (“the Issuers”), responsible for the issuance of Notes under the Global Note Programs (“the Notes”). The business and activities of each company are different, although all of them are interdependent and necessary for the Global Note Programs.
Coordinated Activities. FlexFunds ETP and FlexFunds Ltd act as coordinators of the different entities participating in the Global Note Programs (e.g. the Issuers, asset managers, investment vehicles, issue and paying agent, auditor, trustee and legal counsel of each). However, each of the entities is responsible for its own duties and activities in the process.
Not Broker-Dealer or Investment Adviser. Neither FlexFunds ETP nor FlexFunds Ltd. is a U.S. registered broker-dealer or an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
