WraptAssets: The Structured Finance Engine Behind WraptShares
WraptAssets is the structured finance and technology platform that powers WraptShares, the cooperative for institutional access to private markets. Think of WraptAssets as the “GP-equivalent” in a fund model—responsible for sourcing, diligencing, and structuring private market assets into exchange-traded formats, without taking on asset management duties.
As the architect behind WraptShares’ Delta 1 ETP platform, WraptAssets provides the software, services, and regulatory structuring that convert illiquid private assets into transparent, liquid, and capital-efficient instruments. It enables asset owners to unlock market-based pricing and institutional-grade liquidity—without traditional fund lock-ups or high management fees.
WraptAssets earns its revenues through a services and structuring fee model—aligned with the performance and scale of each issued ETP, but without collecting ongoing management or performance fees. It does not custody or manage capital. Instead, it delivers the infrastructure, compliance design, and execution framework needed to issue and maintain fully backed, exchange-listed products tied to private assets.
By sitting in front of the cooperative, WraptAssets allows WraptShares to operate with the independence, governance, and flexibility of a member-owned platform—while benefiting from purpose-built financial engineering and institutional structuring support.
Private Markets Revolution: The Rise of Alternative Assets
Over two decades, private equity, private credit, and real assets have become cornerstones of institutional portfolios. This dramatic shift has been driven by higher returns, lower volatility, and reduced correlation to public markets, creating a compelling case for allocation.
