iMaps Capital Markets

Die meisten Investmentmanager mit einer bewährten bekommen nie die Chance, sie zu skalieren.

Nicht, weil die Strategie versagt. Sondern weil die Infrastruktur für ihren Vertrieb nie aufgebaut wird.

👉 UCITS-Fondsweg: 12 bis 18 Monate, 100.000 bis 200.000 EUR, bevor ein einziger Anleger das Produkt zu Gesicht bekommt.
👉 Privatplatzierung: eingeschlossen hinter Mauern, die nur akkreditierten Anlegern offenstehen.
👉 Managed Accounts: der Track Record geht zur Tür hinaus, sobald der Kunde es tut.

Genau diese Lücke wurde iMaps 2018 gegründet zu schließen.

Und 2026 wird Deutschland weiterhin aufmerksam.

Most European have been watching one of the world's most exciting stock markets - from the outside.

Not because they didn't know the brands. Because the access simply wasn't there.

✍🏼 Korea by the numbers:

🔹 $4.1 trillion total market cap (KOSPI + KOSDAQ, April 2026 all-time high)
🔹 World's #1 performing major stock index in 2025 - KOSPI up nearly 60%, outpacing Nikkei (+25%) and Hang Seng (+32%)
🔹 Home to global leaders in semiconductors, EVs, shipbuilding, defence & entertainment

Samsung. SK Hynix. Hyundai. POSCO. Kakao. You know the brands. The world runs on their products. But putting them in a portfolio? That was another story.

🔓 Interactive Brokers just unlocked .

And IB is no ordinary broker:

🔹 170+ markets in 29 currencies from a single platform
🔹 Clients in 200+ countries and territories
🔹 $820 billion in client equity (Feb 2026)
🔹 4.65 million client accounts - growing 31% year-on-year
🔹 The largest electronic broker in the US by daily trades

This is the infrastructure that powers serious portfolios.

🔍 What does this mean for iMaps ETIs?

Investment managers running iMaps ETIs on Interactive Brokers can now allocate directly to Korean stocks - giving portfolios access to one of the hottest on the planet, wrapped in a collateralised, exchange-listed instrument on Börse Stuttgart.

✅ Korean stocks exposure
✅ European regulatory framework
✅ Collateralised & independently trusteed
✅ Daily liquidity on Stuttgart Stock Exchange

Whenever you’re ready to start your own ETI with us and get the access – give us a shout!

September 15, 2008. Lehman Brothers files for bankruptcy.

Overnight, thousands of investors discover a brutal truth - they don't own . They own a promise. And the one who made that promise just ceased to exist.

They joined a creditors queue that took years to resolve. Many never fully recovered.

Here's why it happened - and why it still happens today with some structured products:

🔷 Your investment sits on the issuer's balance sheet - it's essentially unsecured debt
🔷 Issuer goes under → your assets are part of the insolvency estate
🔷 Recovery process takes years, lawyers take fees, you get whatever's left
🔷 You trusted the product. Nobody told you that you were, legally speaking, just another creditor.

So how does iMaps think about this differently?

The short answer: iMaps doesn't ask you to trust a promise. It builds a structure where trust isn't required.

🔷 Under Cayman Islands SPC legislation, each portfolio's assets are fully segregated. Portfolio A's troubles? B's investors don't feel a thing.
🔷 Assets are pledged to Collateral Services PTC, a 100% Intertrust Group subsidiary (one of the world's largest trust & corporate services firms), held for the sole benefit of ETI investors. Not iMaps. Not anyone else.
🔷 Every ETI is listed on Börse Stuttgart (the largest exchange-based segment for structured investment products in Europe, with ~1.9 million instruments)
🔷 iMaps ETI AG is audited annually.

Lehman collapsed. The promise evaporated.

The ? That stays standing. 💪

Let’s talk if you’d like to launch your own ETI as well!

Most think they understand structure - until something goes wrong. The real question is not “What strategy am I buying?”. It’s “Where exactly are my held - and who can access them?”

Because if assets are pooled, cross-liability becomes real. If issuer risk is not addressed, performance becomes secondary.

Now let’s talk practice.

When an ETI is launched on the iMaps Capital Markets platform, a dedicated is created within Pecunia SPC, a Segregated Portfolio Company. That portfolio opens its own brokerage account. The investment manager receives Power of Attorney and executes the directly in that account. (Hint: we also have a signal provider setting – more about that in the comments section)

That means:

🔸 The assets of Portfolio A are separated from Portfolio B.
🔸 Liabilities of one portfolio cannot spill over into another.
🔸 Creditors of another structure have no recourse to “your” assets

But separation alone is not enough. The underlying assets of the Segregated Portfolio are pledged to an independent trustee. This collateralisation mechanism insures the issuer of iMaps ETI AG.

Translated into human terms:

Your strategy is not sitting in a general company account. It is ring-fenced, account-specific, legally separated and pledged for the benefit of the respective ETI investors.

Add to that:

🔸 Listing on EUWAX / Börse Stuttgart - the largest exchange-based segment for structured investment products in Europe (with ~1.9 million instruments)
🔸 Daily exchange (09:00–17:30 CET)
🔸 Settlement via Clearstream, Euroclear and SIX

This is not an abstract concept - it is operational infrastructure.

So what does “Segregated Portfolio” mean in practice?

If 100 strategies exist on the platform, each one stands alone. No cross-contamination. No structural overlap. No dependency on another manager’s performance.

In a market where investors increasingly ask “What happens if something fails?”, structure becomes as important as returns.

Performance attracts capital. Structure keeps it.

Recent tensions in the Middle East are first and foremost a reminder of how stability can be - and our thoughts are with everyone affected by the situation.

Moments like these often lead and observers alike to look more closely at the region itself: its economy, its institutions and the role it plays in global markets.

It’s no secret that in recent years the UAE has gained increasing relevance as a financial hub, supported by new Initial Public Offerings, rising capital flows and growing international investor interest.

For those who believe in the long-term economic trajectory of the this may be a moment worth watching closely - and is no longer the problem.

But how do you turn that access into an investable strategy?

At iMaps Capital Markets, one of the most frequently used trading venues for ETI portfolios is Interactive Brokers. IB gives access to 170+ markets in 29 currencies from a single platform and serves clients in 200+ countries and territories.

At the end of 2025, Interactive Brokers also started providing trading access to both UAE exchanges - Abu Dhabi (ADX) and Dubai (DFM) - giving investors exposure to 100+ listed equities across the two markets.

This means that a Delegated Investment Manager (or Signal Provider) of an iMaps ETI can include those instruments directly within the ETI portfolio.

The result is simple: a strategy listed as an ETI on the Börse Stuttgart can combine global assets with opportunities from markets like the UAE - while investors access the strategy through a single listed instrument.

Sometimes diversification is not about finding new markets. It’s about having the right to include them.

Because long-term investing often begins where short-term uncertainty dominates the .

A change is not a spreadsheet edit. But nothing breaks if the instrument was built for it.

Most problems don’t come from changing a strategy. They come from what the wrapper can’t handle afterward.

In practice, when a strategy evolves, three things usually happen:

1. Ex*****on reality changes: Instruments, liquidity, or trading venues no longer fit the original setup.

2. get nervous: Because changes often mean interruptions, OTC handling, or unclear timelines.

3. Distribution stalls: Not because is bad - but because the structure isn’t designed for evolution.

At iMaps Capital Markets, ETIs are structured with this reality in mind.

iMaps ETIs are exchange-listed at Börse Stuttgart (EUWAX), traded daily with an appointed Quality Liquidity Provider during market hours (9:00–17:30 CET). Börse Stuttgart processed ~€121bn in trading volume in 2025, with ~€50bn in structured products alone.

That means investors trade on the exchange, not through any other solutions when something changes.

If a strategy setup needs to be adjusted over time, there is a defined amendment path within the ETI framework. It’s not instant - typical timelines are measured in weeks or months, not days. But the key point is : the product remains an exchange-traded instrument, not a closed chapter.

So, when your strategy changes, here’s the real answer:

🔸 Investors don’t lose access
🔸 The instrument doesn’t disappear
🔸 The track record doesn’t reset

This is why experienced managers don’t ask if the strategy can . They ask whether their investment instrument is designed for that change from day one.

At iMaps, that question is answered before the product ever lists.
