FlexFunds designs and launches independent investment vehicles through an asset securitization program that transforms them into exchange-traded products (ETPs), making strategy management and global distribution to non-U.S. final investors easier.

Our purpose is to provide your projects with an efficient structure capable of attracting capital through an innovative solution completely tailored to your needs.

What is the FlexFunds asset securitization program?

The purpose of the FlexFunds program is to transform your asset portfolio into a liquid and flexible investment vehicle to facilitate its distribution to investors through an ISIN code.

To achieve this, FlexFunds coordinates the asset securitization process quickly and efficiently, supervising all phases from start to finish and providing a turnkey solution for our clients.

The assets to be securitized can be diverse in nature. Additionally, the investment vehicle is customized: it meets specific needs and is fully tailored to each client’s profile.

FlexFunds is backed by renowned international service providers such as Intertrust, Interactive Brokers, Bank of New York Mellon, and Apex, among others, allowing us to provide high-quality, cost-efficient, and personalized ETPs, along with comprehensive services that include:

  • Stock exchange listing.
  • Fund accounting.
  • Back-office and corporate administration services.
  • Net asset value (NAV) calculation.

Moreover, thanks to our scale agreements, we can offer solutions to clients with a small volume of assets: even if you have a project of only USD 1 million, you can contact FlexFunds.

It is worth noting that the process to issue your own customized investment vehicle is extremely agile and can be completed in 6 to 8 weeks.

What are the investment vehicles created by FlexFunds like?

Asset securitization results in a listed security, which we call a “Flex,” given the characteristics of our product, but its issuance name is customizable.

Our ETPs are structured notes linked and backed by the underlying asset portfolio.

The inherent risk of the securities is linked only to the assets on which they are issued, without affecting or being affected by the rest of your business operations.

For investors, the benefits include easier onboarding and access to your project, as well as a cost-efficient structure for developing investment strategies. Additionally, a FlexETP® is euroclearable, so it can be marketed globally.

What advantages do ETPs offer?

A FlexETP® combines the advantages of transparency and liquidity of listed products, such as stocks, with the management and risk profile of investment funds:

  • They convert a strategy into an easily accessible investment vehicle with international reach.
  • They can be created on a wide range of assets.
  • They allow different assets to be grouped into a portfolio.
  • They are created and issued quickly and cost-efficiently.
  • They provide liquidity to certain types of assets (e.g., real estate).
  • They enhance the ability to raise capital.
  • They give investment strategies scalability.
  • They diversify funding sources.
  • They have low management costs.
  • They can be issued on small asset portfolios.

Who benefits from the FlexFunds program?

If you manage or are considering launching a private investment fund, a private real estate equity fund, or a hedge fund, ETPs can be the ideal product to structure your strategy.

Additionally, if you have assets capable of generating positive cash flows but need to increase liquidity or obtain financing, an asset securitization process may also be useful to you.For more information, do not hesitate to contact FlexFunds specialists. We will provide the most suitable solution for your needs.
