The European Trade Programs: Major Facts for Investors

There are 3 well-defined, and well-regulated categories of the European Trade Programs (ETPs):

1.- Small-cap ETPs: They require from investors a very minimum of 1 (one) million USD or EUR (mostly EUR) to a maximun of 50 (fifty) million. Cash funds only. Funds must be deposited at any Tier-1 bank located in the First World. Clients may be individuals or companies.

2.- Mid-cap ETPs: They require from investors a minimum of 51 (fifty-one) million USD or EUR (mostly EUR) to a maximum of 99 (ninety-nine) million. Cash funds only. Funds must be deposited at any Tier-1 bank located in the First World. Clients may be individuals or companies.

3.- Large-cap ETPs (also called PPPs): They require from investors a minimum of 100 (one hundred) million USD or EUR (mostly EUR) to no limit. Cash funds only. Funds must be deposited at any Tier-1 bank located in the First World. Clients may be individuals or companies.

ETPs have different names, as shown below:

- Managed Buy/Sell Programs (MBSPs). This is the technical name being used by Traders for all sorts of ETPs.

Top-Level ETPs. Over 100 m. entry investment:

- Managed Buy/Sell Programs (MBSPs).

- Private Placement Investment Programs (PPIPs).

- Private Placement Transaction Programs (PPTPs).

- Private Placement Opportunities (PPOs).

- Fiduciary Trades (FTs).

- Tier-1 Bank Trades (T-1BTs).

Many Tier-1 banks structure in-house their own ETPs. Tier-1 banks are the 100 largest banks in the First World.

No Third-World banks are accepted for ETPs, because they are not reliable, and also because banking regulations in Third-World countries are very restrictive to the free movement of capitals to another countries.

ETPs involve 100%-safe trading by specially-licensed Traders with Tier-1 banks' Financial Instruments from the Primary Market to the Secondary Market, year round.

ETPs specially-licensed Traders have access to another types of specialized Providers (only accessible by said Traders) in order to get top-quality Financial Instruments for the ETPs-structuring by the specially-licensed Traders.

All the ETPs involve stringent Compliance Client Protocols (CCPs).

Due to said CCPs, only 1 (1%) in 100 clients are approved by Compliance Depts.

In 99% of the cases (99 out of 100 clients) clients are discarded by Compliances because of the following situations, among many others:

- They are slow.

- They are criminals.

- They refuse to fully comply with the CCPs.

- They use banks in the Third World for their bank accounts.

- Their banked cash funds don't have a clear origin.

- They are arrogant.

- They refuse to move their cash funds, despite the strong guarantees (fully verifiable by clients) being offered by Traders.

- They try to get "special deals" on the basis of the big amounts they will invest.

How the standard CCP operates:

1st.- Clients must fill out the pertinent CIS (Client Information Sheet) through Client Structuring Entities (CSE, which are 230, and are licensed by the 2 European Regulators).

2nd.- Then, Compliances do their exhaustive checks on the clients' CISs and also on the clients, too. This procedure is called Due Diligence (DD).

NOTICE: Compliances' DDs are not long to complete, provided clients are not criminals and also that their banked cash funds come from legal and clear origins.

3rd.- If Compliances approve the clients' CISs and the clients, too, then the clients are officialy “invited” (accepted) to “participate” (invest) in the ETPs the clients put in their CIS applications.

The ETPs are mostly operated through Euroclear, the largest clearing entity in the world for quite a few financial operations.

Euroclear is located in Brussels, Belgium, European Union, and it is strictly supervised by the European Central Bank located in Frankfurt, Germany, European Union.

More than 90% of the ETPs are operated through the European largest financial centers of London, Zurich, and Geneva. Less than 10% are operated through the Hong Kong's, and Singapore's financial centers.

All the ETPs are operated under the Financial Arbitrage Protocol (FAP) which is completely regulated by the 2 European Regulators; the European Central Bank (ECB) located in Frankfurt, Germany, European Union, and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) located in Basel, Switzerland.

The ETPs trading is speculation-free, as opposed to the situation in the world's Stock Exchanges, in which almost all operations are speculative.

Therefore, the clients' money is always 100%-safe in the ETPs.

Depending on the type of ETP, the net profits to clients are usually much more than 100% a week; specially in the PPPs.

Profits to clients are paid every Friday.

The ETPs operational timespan is always 40 (forty) trading weeks (around 10 straight months).

Of course, the more money the ETPs require to CIS-applicant clients to get in, the more weekly profits the clients get.

The ETPs profits are paid out via bank (wire) transfers to the clients' or companies' bank accounts anywhere in the world.

All Traders (be they independent, or belonging in the ETP Entities, popularly known by agents and clients as “Trade Platforms”, or “Trading Platforms”, or simply “Platforms”) are strictly regulated by the 2 European Regulators, through special financial licenses, in order for Traders to structure their ETPs for all the parties involved, their clients included.

The main goal of the ETPs is obtaining massive cash profits for “invited” (accepted) clients by Compliances.

Clients are free to do anything they want with their massive cash profits.

Profits are paid to clients tax-free at source.

Largecap ETPs (PPPs) allow clients to reenter (roll over) every year, and for years to come.

How the ETPs trading is operated by Traders, step by step:

1st.- The Tier-1 banks offer financial credit facilities (they never move from the Tier-1 banks) which are regulated by the Switzerland's Basel II and Basel III Agreements.

Said Agreements became effective in September 2006 and January 2010, respectively. They impose stringent requirements on the Tier-1 banks lending to specially-licensed Traders.

2nd.- Specially-licensed Traders must always proceed according to strict procedural and legal guidelines for structuring and operating their ETPs for all the parties involved.

3rd.- Specially-licensed Traders cannot use their own cash funds to trade their ETPs. They always use the financial credit facilities given to them by the Tier-1 banks.

4th.- Specially-licensed Traders contractually manage the buy/sale of the Financial Instruments (before any ETP trading actually takes place) with the so-called “Exit Buyers”.

Exit Buyers are top-clients of the specially-licensed Traders, since many years ago.

Typical Exit Buyers are multinationals, hedge funds, investment funds, large insurance companies, large pension funds, large family offices, and many more types.

5th.- The Compliance-invited clients' cash funds are never touched, because it's banned by the ETPs regulations. The client's funds (and also the clients) are required just to make sure the cash funds and their owners (the invited clients) exist.

6th.- The regulated profit per deal is 30%. Specially-licensed Traders complete many deals in every trading day (Mondays to Fridays).

7th.- No Powers of Attorney are accepted from the invited clients, because they must be alive, and verified (DD) by Compliances.

8th.- All the ETPs trading deals are completed very fast (usually in under a minute). Therefore, authentications, verifications, etc. are done very fastly through Euroclear.

9th.- Compliance-approved clients are assigned a Euroclear operational code, which they can verify.

10th.- In order to prevent huge financial cartels among Tier-1 banks, they are banned to sell their issued Financial Instruments to another Tier-1 banks, or trade with them in ETPs.

11th.- The Compliance-approved and invited clients are mandatorily needed, in order for the specially-licensed Traders to unlock the financial credit facilities (usually billions of EUR) from Tier-1 banks, so that the specially-licensed Traders can be authorized to structure and initiate each ETP trading for all the parties involved.

12th.- Every year -before Tier-1 banks release their financial credit facilities to the specially-licensed Traders- the specially-licensed Traders must show that they have confirmed evidence of Buy/Sell Contracts with Exit Buyers. This is technically called “Closed Books”.

13th.- All the ETPs are risk-free to the invited clients' cash funds, because all the ETPs tradings are always operated under the FAP.

The FAP means that all the Financial Instruments used by the specially-licensed Traders must simultaneously be bought and sold by the specially-licensed Traders to previously-contracted Exit Buyers, and at precise time windows, every ETPs trading day.

14th.- During the 40 trading weeks, the invited clients cannot withdraw their cash funds, nor be used as collateral for loans, or for credit lines, or pledged, or hypothecaticated, or liened, or encumbered.

15th.- Tier-1 banks issue every day their Financial Instruments, because they get huge profits in the range of 10:1, and even much higher profit ratios, for 10 years. Financial Instruments expire after 10 years of having been issued by Tier-1 banks.

16th.- The ETPs marketplace is highly-regulated and strictly- confidential. The absolute confidentiality by the Compliance-invited clients is a key element of every ETP Investment Contract, with strict non-disclosure clauses being vigorously enforced by the specially-licensed Traders.

Any invited client who breaks the confidentiality precipitates an instant cancellation of the ETP Investment Contract, will be required to repay all the profits received, and will be (in most cases) criminally prosecuted.
