Four AMC use cases

A practitioner's framework — the four distinct jobs the AMC actually does, drawn from Fernando Concha's session at Luma.

Section 4 — Concha · Luma
01
Strategy wrapper
One trade. Identical NAV.
A discretionary strategy delivered as a single security — every investor on the same NAV, every rebalance identical.
In practice
  • Eliminates per-account slippage
  • KYC moves to the broker-dealer
  • Minimums as low as $20k
Global — all client types
02
Jurisdiction access
Local assets, offshore wrapper.
An offshore SPV opens a local account, acquires the assets, and issues a certificate the investor can settle anywhere.
In practice
  • Brazilian equities
  • Peruvian securities
  • Chilean peso-denominated funds
Brazil — Peru — Chile
03
Tax structuring
Income = capital gain at exit.
Income accrues into the NAV instead of distributing — the entire gain is realised as a capital gain when the certificate is sold.
In practice
  • Mirror image of US Section 1260
  • Material where the income/CGT gap is wide
  • Argentina, Peru, across LatAm
Argentina — Peru — LatAm
04
Non-bankable assets
Non-bankable, made bankable.
An SPV holds the asset and issues a certificate. The investor sees a security in their existing custodian — not a side-vehicle to administer.
In practice
  • Real estate-backed credit (Paraguay)
  • PE feeder: $20–50k denomination
  • Minority stake in a private company
