The Modern Asset Manager’s Toolkit: Why ETIs Are Now Essential

Innovation in asset management isn’t just about building great strategies anymore – it’s about how fast you can bring it to market.

Between regulatory friction, distribution complexity, and the pressure of shrinking margins, even the best-performing strategies risk staying unseen.

That’s where Actively Managed Certificates (AMCs) are quietly (or not so much) becoming the new backbone of modern portfolio structuring.

With iMaps you get:

  • Speed – From concept to exchange listing in a few weeks, not years.

  • Access – Your investors can buy it over their existing Bank or Broker, such as UBS, Baader Bank, SwissQuote, Interactive Brokers and more.

  • Scalability – One vehicle, multiple jurisdictions, ready for retail and institutional investors alike.

  • Control – The asset manager retains full discretion over strategy execution. You can execute your strategy via Interactive Brokers, Vantage ActivTrades, Coinbase, etc.

Here are some extra stats if we may:

  • The Euwax (Stuttgart) currently lists ~1.9 million securities – making it largest exchange segment for securitized derivatives.

  • As of December 2024, Euwax AG supports trading of 2.3 million+ instruments in its role as Quality Liquidity Provider.

  • IB’s total assets reached USD 181.5 billion in mid-2025

  • Interactive Brokers gives access to 160+ markets in 28+ currencies with a daily average revenue trade volume in the millions, supports algorithmic and multi-asset trading, and provides institutional tools like TWS.

AMCs are no longer niche; they’re the professional’s shortcut to visibility, liquidity, and credibility without giving up independence.

As of 2025, iMaps ETI AG has structured over CHF 600 million across 100+ listed AMCs, helping managers across Europe transform their strategies into listed, collateralised products investors can trade daily.

The future of active management won’t be built in boardrooms – it will be listed.
