iMaps Capital Markets

Hidden #fees are the silent killer of investment returns. Most structured products come with a fee schedule that looks clean on the surface, until you try to buy or #sell. The spread between the price you pay and the actual NAV? Rarely disclosed upfront. Rarely capped. And when markets get volatile, it's entirely at the issuer's discretion. Here's exactly how the spread works on iMaps Capital Markets ETIs: The #spread = your entry fee + your exit fee, built directly into the exchange price. ✅ Entry fee: 1% | Exit fee: 1% for portfolios below €2.5M AuM ✅ Entry fee: 0.50% | Exit fee: 0.50% for portfolios above €2.5M AuM ✅ Maximum combined spread: 2.5% noted in the Base Prospectus ✅ Quoted daily on Stuttgart Stock Exchange, 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM CET ✅ EUWAX AG appointed as Quality Liquidity Provider (Europe's #1 in securitized derivatives trading) Why Stuttgart? Boerse Stuttgart Group is the 6th largest exchange group in Europe and the European market leader in structured investment products. More than 2 million securities are listed across its exchanges. When iMaps ETIs #trade here, they trade on infrastructure built for exactly this asset class. Would you board a flight without knowing the ticket price? So why invest without knowing your exit cost? 😉 Get in touch and let’s talk about launching your own ETI! ⚡️💶 Kind regards, Your team iMaps #ScalableInvestmentProducts #ActivelyManagedCertificates #ETIs

September 15, 2008. Lehman Brothers files for bankruptcy. Overnight, thousands of #StructuredProduct investors discover a brutal truth - they don't own #assets. 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 Capital Markets 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? #Portfolio 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 Boerse Stuttgart Group (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 #structure? That stays standing. 💪 Let’s talk if you’d like to launch your own ETI as well! 💶🛡 Kind regards, Your team iMaps #ScalableInvestmentProducts #ActivelyManagedCertificates #ETIs

A strategy is only real if it can #trade its required instruments - reliably, and without adding operational chaos. In an iMaps Capital Markets ETI the tradable universe is defined by what your chosen execution venue can trade. iMaps ETIs can include any assets traded on its connected venues (Interactive Brokers, Baader Bank, ActivTrades, Coinbase, Tier1FX, Vantage), considering that the asset manager needs to define the trading instruments before the launch. So, what can you trade inside the (underlying SP of the) ETI? 🔹 Stocks, ETFs, and/or depositary receipts 🔹 Bonds 🔹 Warrants 🔹 Options 🔹 Futures 🔹 CFDs 🔹 Long positions in mutual funds 🔹 Long positions in alternative investment funds 🔹 Long positions in complex or leveraged exchange traded products 🔹 FOREX/currencies 🔹 Cryptocurrencies 🔍 Let’s have a closer look at the execution venues: 🔸 Interactive Brokers (IBKR) - a true market leader: 3.384 million daily average revenue trades in Dec 2025, $779.9B client equity, and ~4.4M accounts, with access to 150+ markets. 🔸 Baader Bank AG - the “fund & structured products access” engine in our setup: when the asset manager wants to invest into mutual funds, alternative investment funds (including private equity funds, real estate funds and ELTIFs) or structured products - Baader Bank is the route we take. Furthermore, Baader Bank offers a strong investment universe and execution quality when it comes to the German speaking countries: Germany, Austria and Switzerland. 🔸 ActivTrades, Vantage, Tier1FX - CFD brokers for tactical execution: with ActivTrades reporting ~€7B monthly trading volume; Vantage offering 1,000+ instruments, 15+ years of market experience and publishing 26 awards in 2024 and Tier1FX operating under MFSA license IS18954 as the brokerage division of Hogg Capital Investments Ltd. 🔸 Coinbase - institutional crypto at real scale: 275+ digital assets tradable, 340+ trading pairs, and custody for 470+ assets across 52 chains via Coinbase Prime’s institutional stack (so your ETI crypto sleeve isn’t “limited to BTC/ETH,” it’s a broad universe) Moreover, iMaps ETIs are listed on Boerse Stuttgart Group - largest exchange-based retail market for securitized derivatives, and the exchange group reports 1.9M+ securities listed.

Many wonder: can you market ETIs to #retail investors in Europe? The short answer is: only if you understand what “retail” actually means in Europe. Unlike the U.S., Europe is not one market. Retail public offering is jurisdiction-specific, approval-driven, and tightly linked to prospectus passporting. Many #investment products fail at this point - not because of performance, but because they cannot be legally offered to retail investors in the first place. A #strategy may be attractive. The wrapper may be listed. But without a valid retail public offering, distribution stops at professional investors. iMaps Capital Markets ETIs change this. Under an approved base prospectus, ETIs can be publicly offered to retail investors in multiple European countries (Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Ireland, Switzerland, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovak Republic, Spain, and Sweden). That means no private placement, no professional-only limitation, and no bespoke onboarding. For retail investors, however, #availability is defined by how and where they can invest. Retail investors invest through their existing banks and brokers. They expect to find an investment in their account, see a live price, and trade it during market hours. That is why exchange listing matters. iMaps ETIs are listed on Boerse Stuttgart Group - the largest exchange-based segment for structured investment products in Europe (with ~1.9 million instruments) and can be bought like a share or an ETF, via existing banks and brokers such as Interactive Brokers, comdirect – eine Marke der Commerzbank AG, Smartbroker AG and more. And because they trade on exchange, they come with daily liquidity and visible pricing throughout the trading day (with trading hours 9:00–17:30 CET for iMaps ETIs). From the investor’s perspective, there is no “product complexity”. There is “only” a listed instrument, available in their account, tradable during market hours. So can ETIs be marketed to retail investors in Europe? Yes - when they are: 🔹 Approved for retail public offering 🔹 Listed on EUWAX Stuttgart 🔹 Tradable via existing banks and brokers 🔹 Liquid on a daily basis Anything else is not retail distribution. It’s just a theory. 😉 Would you like to launch your own ETI with us? Let’s talk! 🤗👍 Kind regards, Your team iMaps #ScalableInvestmentProducts #ActivelyManagedCertificates #ETIs

You've built a #crypto strategy that performs really well. An investor is interested in your strategy … but has no way to buy in. A UCITS fund cannot hold most #digital assets. A standalone fund can, but below €50M AuM it rarely makes sense: setup runs upwards of €100,000 and 12 to 18 months. Most managers running a strong crypto book simply never launch a product for it. The strategy stays a track record only. iMaps Capital Markets closes that gap. Your strategy is executed inside a dedicated Segregated Portfolio, custodied and traded through Coinbase Prime, and wrapped into an iMaps ETI which is listed on the Stuttgart Stock Exchange (EUWAX), tradable daily 9am–5.30pm CET, with retail public offering rights across the EEA + Switzerland from day one. Why Coinbase Prime? 🔹 $350B+ in institutional assets under custody 🔹 Custodian for 80%+ of US spot bitcoin and ether ETF assets (April 2026) 🔹 11.2% of #global crypto market cap under custody, across 470+ assets (Q2 2026) 🔹 Client assets held 1:1 in segregated accounts: the same collateralised principle an iMaps ETI is built on 🔹 Agency-only execution: no proprietary #trading against client positions 🔹 13+ years safeguarding institutional digital assets; audited annually by Deloitte & Touche, SOC 1 and SOC 2 🔹 Type 2 certified 🔹 Fiduciary under New York state banking law 🔹 One integrated platform for trading, custody, financing and staking: one relationship, not five vendors to reconcile Institutional-grade custody plus a listing. Your crypto strategy was always sound. Now it can also be #investable. Want to launch your own ETI with us?

Most #investors ask the same question before allocating capital to an exchange-traded instrument (ETI): “Can I actually get in and out without pain?’’ Because if you can’t sell when you want - that’s risk - not opportunity. In real markets, liquidity isn’t about buzzwords - it’s about transaction cost and exit #certainty. Traditional ETFs, for example, have two layers of #liquidity: 🔹 Primary market liquidity is driven by the underlying assets. Dealers can create or redeem shares to meet demand. 🔹 Secondary market liquidity arises from trading volume and the bid-ask spread investors see on screen. That means a vehicle listed on an exchange can be liquid even if its own trading volume looks modest. What really matters is how easily the underlying exposure can be traded and how tightly buyers and sellers align in price. Now here’s the practical part for ETIs issued by iMaps Capital Markets: ✔ ETIs trade on the Boerse Stuttgart Group just like ETFs or shares - you can buy or sell them through your broker during trading hours (for iMaps ETIs those are 9 – 17.30 CET). ✔ iMaps structures and lists these products with daily market liquidity, meaning order books are live every business day based on investor interest and exchange mechanisms. ✔ For investors, that translates into quick #execution and transparent pricing - not waiting days, not guessing whether a buyer will show up. Quotes and spreads are visible on screen in real time. In the end, liquidity isn’t a promise. It’s a mechanism. And when designed properly, it turns an investment idea into something investors can actually use. Interested in learning more about iMaps ETIs or launching one of yours?
