public imaging supports the branding of the global ETI platform iMaps Capital Markets
public imaging has won a new account in the Exchange Traded Instruments (ETI) sector: The Hamburg-based agency will take over PR work for the iMaps Capital Markets Group with immediate effect. The company, headquartered in Liechtenstein, is considered a specialist in structured and exchange-traded investment products for private and professional investors.
Press Release
Hamburg, 1st of September 2021 – public imaging GmbH, Hamburg-based agency for financial communications, continues to expand its client base in the growth market of innovative capital investments and is now managing the brand development of iMaps Capital Markets - from classic PR to relevant content strategy to building reach in social media. Founded in 2016, iMaps Group has a team of experts focused on the launch of structured investment products and offers exchange-traded instruments for the retail market on its platform.
As an issuer of structured capital investment solutions based in Liechtenstein (iMaps ETI AG), iMaps Capital Markets has already structured products with a volume of over EUR 300 million and supported 30 emissions.
Investment in ETIs as easy as in shares and ETFs
As a white label solution, iMaps’ ETIs are tailored to the needs of independent asset managers and are "the better alternative to launching a mutual fund," explains iMaps founder and chairman Andreas Wölfl. Especially for volumes up to 20 million euros, a fund structure with long launch times, high operating costs and regulatory restrictions is not efficient, he said. "In contrast, the ETIs on the iMaps platform are issued in the shortest possible time, with minimal costs – and maximum security and flexibility," says Wölfl.
Whether long/short equity, global macro or digital assets – iMaps structures all liquid assets open to the private investor in the investment form of an asset manager certificate and brings them to the market. Product name and management fee are determined individually by the respective asset manager. Since 2020, selected ETIs have been traded on the Stuttgart Stock Exchange, Europe's largest exchange for securitized derivatives. "This means that purchasing them via a bank is just as easy as buying a share or an ETFs," explains Wölfl.
​
"Our focused PR strategy is designed to make the added value of ETI's innovative solutions tangible for asset managers as issuers as well as private and professional investors," says iMaps board member Herbert Hakala. "Germany and Central Europe are core markets for the growth of our platform. With public imaging, we have found the right partner on board for our story’s PR work. The agency shows how experience and innovative power are combined to create modern communication."
Arne Pflugrad, Managing Director at public imaging on the new PR contract: "We are looking forward to making the story of iMaps Capital Markets visible in the increasingly multi-layered media channels. Our client stands out from the competition in the capital markets with visionary investment solutions. In line with this is our understanding of contemporary communication – because with our own data and PR tools, we see ourselves as innovation drivers. We measure PR topics and target groups – and steer our clients specifically toward more visible relevance and reach."
