Structuring for Impact: Fund Platforms vs. Securitization for German Investors

At Amicorp, we consistently see one question rise to the top in investor conversations: What’s the right vehicle for my investment strategy? That’s why we recently hosted an expert session at our Frankfurt office, “Comparing Fund Structures and Securitization for German Investors in a Changing Landscape”, bringing together legal, tax, and capital markets specialists for a highly focused discussion.

The session couldn’t have been timelier. In today’s regulatory climate, with increased scrutiny, rising complexity, and shifting investor needs, selecting the optimal vehicle is about more than cost, it’s about compliance, efficiency, and long-term viability.

Comparing Tools in an Evolving Landscape

My colleague Philip Rutovitz, Managing Director at Amicorp Netherlands, presented a clear and practical comparison between regulated fund structures and securitized note solutions. His insights gave attendees a strong framework to evaluate options based on:

• Tax deferral benefits available through treaty-aligned jurisdictions
• Scalability and asset segmentation via umbrella fund platforms
• Efficiency and simplicity of securitization, especially for cash-flow-based or fixed-income products

The session reinforced a key point: the best structure depends on investor objectives, asset class, and jurisdictional strategy.

What We Offer and How We Deliver It

I had the opportunity to walk attendees through our global capital markets and fund solutions. At Amicorp, we’re proud to offer both regulated fund platforms in strategic locations like Singapore, Dubai, and Spain, and a Luxembourg-based securitization vehicle for flexible, compliant note issuance.

To add to that, we can offer a ‘plug-and-play’ approach through a range of regulated asset management and fund licenses. We’ve invested in that infrastructure so that our clients don’t have to. With us, investors can:

• Launch structured vehicles in just 4 to 8 weeks
• Rely on pre-approved regulatory licenses
• Access global markets with ease and confidence

These are not theoretical solutions — they are operationally ready, and already in use across asset classes and investor types.

Insights, Questions, and Momentum

The session ended on a high note with open Q&A and informal networking. It was energizing to hear directly from market participants about the structuring challenges and opportunities they’re facing, particularly in a climate that demands agility and foresight.

At Amicorp, our role is to help simplify that complexity. We help clients set up and manage the right structure, in the right jurisdiction, at the right time, whether that’s through a fund, an SPV, or a securitization vehicle. As this session showed, informed structuring isn’t just compliance, it’s strategy in motion.
