02/Frequently asked questions
01

What is an Actively Managed Certificate?

An AMC turns an actively managed investment strategy into a single investable security with one ISIN. The strategy can be steered over time, while trading, administration and reporting sit inside one structure. The specific characteristics, features and costs depend on the issuer, the chosen structure, the applicable jurisdiction and the individual product setup.

02

What does Chipiron AG do, and what does the issuer do?

We work on the investment: shaping the idea, defining the perimeter, research and strategy design. The certificate itself is issued by an issuing counterparty. We coordinate with the issuer and the other partners so the structure carries the strategy as designed.

03

Who is this service for?

Asset managers, family offices, investment professionals, institutions and foundations. Some clients arrive with a finished process; others arrive with an idea and no structuring knowledge. Both are starting points we work from.

04

How does the process from idea to product work?

The process follows six stages: shaping the idea, defining the financial environment, research, designing the investment, building and investing, and post-launch support. We remain your point of contact and coordinate with the partners supporting your AMC.

05

How do you handle fees?

Each product has a Total Expense Ratio (TER), which covers the costs associated with its structure and operation. From this, we deduct external service provider costs and a fixed share dedicated to charitable donations. Any remaining surplus is also donated. Our goal is to design a cost structure that covers expenses without generating profit. Fees are transparent and defined in advance.

06

How do you ensure transparency?

Transparency is built into our business model. Our aim is to operate without generating profit, with any surplus directed towards charitable causes rather than distributed as earnings. Our financial statements are reviewed by an independent auditor, providing external oversight of our financial position and the implementation of our non-profit approach.
