The Obstacles Between Your Fund Strategy and the Execution It Needs

You're managing illiquid assets in structures built for liquid ones. Lock-ups frustrate investors, fund setups drain resources, and the infrastructure gaps that should support your strategies end up limiting them instead.

Assets locked in structures investors want out of

Private equity, infrastructure, real estate — these holdings can take a decade to exit. Investors push for liquidity, but the assets weren’t built to trade. You’re caught between long-term value and short-term pressure to offer exits without harm.

Fund launches that take months and drain resources

Launching a new vehicle means structuring, AIFMD compliance, appointing admins and depositaries, then waiting for approvals. By month five, you’re still negotiating custody while the market opportunity has already moved.

Fee structures that quietly erode performance

Large orders quickly reveal your intent. Predatory algorithms adjust prices before you’re filled, shifting prices and cutting into results. Without anonymity, every move can leak strategy, weakening the very edge your fund is built on.

Limited access to deal flow and liquidity pools

Mid-sized managers often lack access to the liquidity networks and block trades larger institutions tap. Orders fill at worse prices, off-market deals vanish, and the field tilts toward those with deeper broker ties and bigger balance sheets.

What we offer

Infrastructure Built for Alternative Investment Strategies

Alternative asset managers need structures that unlock liquidity and execution that shields intent. FCS Capital provides both - turning illiquid positions into tradeable securities and sourcing block liquidity across venues without exposing your strategy.

AMCs launched in 4-6 weeks with lower setup costs

Illiquid holdings securitised into exchange-listed notes

Bespoke solutions built around your mandate, not shelf products

Transparent pricing with no embedded margins or hidden issuer spreads

Buy-side and sell-side experience that shapes strategies

What you get

Platform and Tools for Alternative Strategies

Trading and product infrastructure around what alternative managers actually need - anonymous execution across asset classes, AMC issuance that runs in weeks, securitisation that turns locked positions into listed securities.

Multi-asset execution under one roof

Equities, fixed income, derivatives, commodities - all accessible through one platform. Electronic routing handles speed when markets are deep, while sales traders work blocks manually when discretion matters more. Direct connections to exchanges, MTFs, and dark pools mean you're never forced into single-venue pricing.

Liquidity sourcing that protects intent

Smart order routing scans exchanges, MTFs, and dark pools in real time while keeping your identity shielded. For large blocks, we aggregate liquidity from multiple venues and act as principal when needed, filling orders without broadcasting your strategy to predatory algorithms hunting for information.

AMCs that package any strategy

Actively Managed Certificates let you package portfolios - public markets, private assets, even real estate - into listed securities with flexible NAV and their own ISIN. Investors get transparency and liquidity while you maintain full discretion over the underlying strategy, all within a note structure instead of a traditional fund.

Products launched in weeks, not quarters

Where traditional funds require months of legal work and six-figure setup costs, AMC issuance runs 4-6 weeks from term sheet to live trading. The structure scales as your strategy grows, with additional tranches issued without rebuilding the entire vehicle from scratch.

Securitisation for illiquid holdings

We structure asset-backed securities through bankruptcy-remote SPVs - isolating real estate portfolios, infrastructure loans, or private equity stakes into dedicated compartments. Securities get listed on exchanges for price discovery, and we coordinate trustees, auditors, and ongoing NAV calculations, so your team doesn't need internal infrastructure for that.

Why choose us

Why Alternative Investment Firms Choose FCS Capital Markets

Solutions shaped around your strategy

Your mandate doesn't fit standard products, and forcing the fit means compromises. We structure certificates and notes around what you actually need - whether that's principal protection for a private debt portfolio or leveraged exposure to infrastructure holdings.

Illiquid Positions Become Exchange-Listed Securities

Your private equity stakes and real estate holdings sit locked up for years because there's no market for them. Through securitisation, those illiquid positions become exchange-listed securities with their own ISINs. Investors get exit options before final disposals, and you can rebalance or raise capital without waiting out the full hold period.

Strategies live in weeks

Traditional fund setups take six months minimum, often closer to a year. AMCs launch in four to six weeks - term sheet to live security. When market windows close fast or investor demand shifts, that difference between months and weeks is the difference between capturing opportunity and missing it.

FAQ

Your Questions on Real Assets & Alternative Investment Services, Answered

What asset classes and products can you handle for alternative investment firms?

We trade equities, fixed income, derivatives, and commodities across global markets. Beyond execution, we structure AMCs and securitised notes for illiquid assets - real estate portfolios, private equity stakes, infrastructure debt, whatever your strategy holds. If it needs to become tradeable, we can wrap it into a certificate with an ISIN.

How do you ensure competitive execution when we're trading large or illiquid positions?

Orders route across exchanges, MTFs, and dark pools through smart algorithms that scan for liquidity in real time. For blocks or sensitive trades, our desk works orders manually to avoid market impact. Your identity stays shielded when we canvas counterparties, so pricing reflects true liquidity instead of revealing intent before fills complete.

Can you help us create liquidity for private equity stakes, loans, or other illiquid holdings?

Yes - that's exactly what our securitisation platform does. We arrange issuance through bankruptcy-remote SPVs that hold or reference your illiquid assets, then issue notes or AMCs representing those positions. The securities get listed on exchanges with ISINs, giving investors tradeable exposure instead of decade-long lock-ups.

What's the timeline for launching an AMC or structured product through FCS?

Four to six weeks from term sheet to live trading for straightforward structures. More complex designs might take eight to ten weeks, mainly for legal reviews. That's a fraction of the six-plus months traditional fund setups require, so you can act on market windows while they're open.

Do you provide market intelligence or strategy ideas beyond execution?

Our traders bring buy-side and sell-side experience, so you get more than order-taking. We share insights on positioning, suggest derivative overlays for hedging, identify relative value trades, and provide market color that reflects both buy-side and sell-side experience. Think of it as an extension of your investment team, not just a broker.
