Want to Launch with €500k? Good Luck - Unless You’re Launching an AMC
Think about the last fund you saw launched: we’re talking about millions in seed capital before you even hear about it. That’s not an accident. Traditional fund structures demand massive upfront commitments just to cover legal, regulatory, and operational overhead.
That’s the pain most asset managers face:
You have a strategy, a track record, maybe even committed investors - but you're blocked by €10M+ seed requirements just to get started.
You get bogged down in licensing, depositaries, cross-jurisdiction structuring, and regulatory hurdles.
The risk is that you never make it off the drawing board because you can’t raise the seed size to justify all the fixed costs.
But here’s what we do differently at iMaps:
We help you launch a fully compliant, exchange-listed ETI with as little as €500,000 in seed capital
We handle the legal structure, custody, listing and all the heavy setup, so you just bring your strategy and investors
The product becomes tradable on Stuttgart Stock Exchange - Europe’s largest marketplace for structured products (with an estimated 1.7 to 1.9 million products listed)
Your investors can buy the AMC like a stock or ETF over their existing bank/broker, such as Interactive Brokers, Baader Bank, Swissquote, UBS, etc.
You avoid the burdensome fixed overhead and can scale gradually, not “all or nothing”
Why ETIs (AMCs) make this possible?
iMaps ETIs (in a form of Actively Managed Certificates / Fund-Linked Notes) are structured to be asset-backed, fully collateralised, and exchange-listed instruments. Our solution lets you wrap your strategy into a tradable product without building a fund from the scratch.
So if your barrier to entry isn’t lack of strategy – let’s get in touch! The infrastructure is ready.
