Fixed Income Bonds (LATAM)

A fixed-income alternative bond structure investment based on a basket of bonds including government and corporate bonds from South America.

In the past 10 year, this market has been impossible to enter for ordinary, private investors, and even incredibly challenging for High Net Worth investors and financial institutions, but trademakers has broken down the barriers to entry!

The main focus of the program is to invest in short-term corporate bonds, such as energy, real estate, government and the auto industry and, potentially, to include government bonds as well.

Our aim is to have on average approximately 2 years majority in the basket of bonds to diversify the investment and increase risk controls.

Launch Date: September 2022

Default Leverage

The normal government bond market does not normally bear much risk, whereas corporate bonds come with a higher risk level.

The potentially higher level of risk in alternative strategies makes risk management and diversification of the highest importance to program managers and investors.

However, the bond market is an old investment asset class where professional managers blend the investment strategy with risk management tools and asset diversification. The volatility in this market can potentially change the allocation of the program from time to time, so the program will be adjusted to remain in line with prevailing market conditions.

Investing in alternative funds or strategies can generate significant returns, but is often considered a high-risk investment. That’s why we recommend allocating no more than 10% to 20% of your portfolio to these strategies.

This is especially important given that these hedge funds or alternative strategies can be leveraged products (see Terms & Conditions of the strategy).

Risk Level: 3-4 Risk Willing

Investors in Risk Willing programs understand that investments can go down and up sharply with the greater potential for increased returns over the long-term.

You are prepared to accept fairly high levels of risk with your investments, to help you achieve your goal of achieving higher investment returns in the longer term. You accept that this may mean that the value of your investments may fluctuate considerably over short periods of time, and that there is an increased risk of capital loss compared with investing in lower risk investment programs.

The Strategy

High Interest Rates & Risk Adjusted Exposure

Our goal was to create an alternative fixed income product that can take advantage of higher interest rates but without the currency risks involved in local currencies.

To achieve this goal we have partnered with the largest digital asset exchange in South America. Until now, this company has only offered this product to domestic investors. However via agreements with JPFS and SGT, trademakers can now make this exciting fixed income program available to private investors, HNWs and institutional investors anywhere in the world.

The Fixed Income Bonds (LATAM) program focuses on high-interest-rate-generating corporate bonds and government bonds with an overall average maturity of 2 years to lower the risk level and allow for interest rate fluctuations.

The program  is offered in corporation with a large financial institution in Brazil, with an overall balance sheet of between $2.2-2.5 BLN. Investor funds will be converted to stable coins and deposit with our counter party/custodian to be placed into the bonds themselves. To withdraw funds, the reverse procedure will be applied. All investor funds and bond placements will be held with our custodian Mercado Bitcoin.
