Segregated Portfolios: A Closer Look

Safeguarding investments against unforeseen risks is paramount. Segregated Portfolios stand out as a sophisticated tool to achieve this, offering both protection and precision in managing assets. At iMaps Capital Markets, we leverage this structure through our Segregated Portfolio Company, which allows for the isolation of assets and liabilities within distinct portfolios under a single corporate umbrella.

How it works

A Segregated Portfolio Company operates as a single legal entity, capable of creating multiple segregated portfolios. Each portfolio segregates its assets from others, ensuring that the assets of one are not affected by the liabilities of another. This setup provides a robust shield against cross-liability, enhancing security for investors.

Benefits for Investors

1. Risk Mitigation: Each Segregated Portfolio is insulated from the losses of others, protecting investors during market volatility or legal challenges within other segments of the company.

2. Asset Security: Assets within a Segregated Portfolio are solely available to meet liabilities to creditors or holders of securities of that specific portfolio, offering a high degree of protection and clarity.

3. Operational Flexibility: The structure allows for strategic asset management tailored to specific investment objectives without compromising the security of other portfolios.

How we use it

At iMaps, we operate a two-tier structure for the launch of an Actively Managed Certificate (AMC). We set up a Segregated Portfolio of our wholly owned subsidiary Pecunia SPC which opens an account with a broker. The investment manager gets PoA (Power of Attorney) on that brokerage account via a Delegated Investment Management Agreement to execute the trading strategy. Our own structured products issuer - iMaps ETI AG in Liechtenstein (Europe) issues Exchange Traded Instruments (listed AMCs) linked to that Segregated Portfolio.

This approach not only safeguards assets but also caters to diverse investor needs, reinforcing stringent risk controls and fostering lasting trust.
