Investment Strategies

By issuing an AMC, an asset manager can easily implement almost any sort of investment strategy, including:

  • a short US option premium strategy
  • an absolute return strategy on Swiss equities
  • a long-only ETF strategy
  • the top 10 equal-weighted cryptocurrencies
  • a short-duration fixed income portfolio
  • a diversified portfolio of structured products
     

The asset manager can use ISP's Trading & Execution services and enjoy access to selected prime brokers. ISP collaborates with a selection of brokers that are top-tier within their area of expertise. The newly created certificate can easily be distributed among qualified investors.

Case Study

Problem: An external asset manager (“EAM”) has 150 qualified high-net-worth (HNW) clients custodied between five different banks. In order to implement their model strategy, the EAM faces several challenges:

  • Different amounts are to be invested for each client, i.e. rebalancings require countless calculations.
  • The vast number of orders that have to be allocated to different custodian banks often lead to different execution prices for different clients.
  • Every rebalancing of the model portfolio is extremely time-consuming.
  • The EAM might well pay different and relatively high execution and settlement costs with each custodian bank.

 

Solution: An AMC can help the EAM massively increase efficiency in terms of both time and costs. By buying the AMC for each of their HNW clients, the EAM converts the 150 accounts into one fund-like pool of assets. Any rebalancing needs just one trade order and is automatically reflected for every investor in proportion to their investment.

 

Case Study

Simplified Example: An AMC with Interactive Brokers

1. Qualified investors (in this example an HNWI or the EAM on their behalf) instruct their custody bank to buy the AMC via the Swiss ISIN.

2. Through this buy transaction, the HNWI receives certificates booked into their custody account, while the buying price in cash flows into the AMC’s account at ISP.

3. As soon as cash has arrived at ISP, the AMC Asset Manager can discretionarily manage the pooled investments according to their investment strategy, including shifting the available cash proceeds to pre-defined prime brokers such as Interactive Brokers.

Shariah-Compliant Products
  • An innovative instrument to manage their professional clients’ wealth in a cost-efficient way, aligned with Islamic principles.  
  • So far, Actively Managed Certificates (AMCs) and their unique, cost-efficient structure have had limited access to the world of Islamic Finance, despite the fact that they have been widely used by professional asset managers since the early 2000s. 
  • While early-moving banks have only recently started to offer Shariah-compliant AMCs, we in collaboration with Amanie Partners offer a solution without banks’ traditional counterparty risk, resulting in stability and security.
