Retail or Professional? How to Choose the Right AMC Setup
Every investment strategy has potential, but not every strategy has the right vehicle.
At iMaps, the first structural decision shapes everything that follows: Retail AMC or Professional AMC. Two frameworks. Two audiences. One exchange-listed architecture built for scale.
Both are listed on EUWAX (Stuttgart). Both offer daily liquidity. Both are based on a collateralised segregated portfolio. The difference lies in how far (and to whom) your strategy can travel.
1) Retail AMC - The Distribution Engine
If your goal is reach, this is the structure designed for it.
Retail Public Offering across Europe
100 EUR denomination - accessible from day one
4.5% p.a. fee cap for predictable cost control
Works seamlessly with brokers such as IBKR, Comdirect, Smartbroker, and most banks
Direct access for everyday investors without intermediaries
It brings your strategy into the open market.
2) Professional AMC - The Precision Instrument
When your investor base is experienced - and your strategy demands range - you step into the Professional setup.
Offering to Professional & Qualified Investors
Up to 149 retail investors per year via private placement
1,000 EUR denomination
6% p.a. fee cap for more structural flexibility
Same transparency, same liquidity, wider strategic bandwidth
It’s the structure for managers who need room to deploy, adjust, and refine.
Choose Retail when scale matters. Choose Professional when precision matters. Both paths lead to one place: a listed on EUWAX Stuttgart, liquid, collateralised investment product that finally lets your strategy operate without constraints.
