Amundi and Spiko, a leading European fund tokenization platform, recently announce the launch of the Spiko Amundi Overnight Swap Fund (SAFO).
SAFO is a tokenised sub-fund of SPIKO SICAV, a SICAV regulated under French law, designed to meet the treasury and collateral needs of corporates and financial institutions of all sizes, offering a cash-equivalent instrument with 24/7 transferability.
Key features of the fund include:
- Use of fully collateralized total return swaps with top-tier banks, to deliver stable yields above risk-free benchmarks, while maintaining overnight liquidity.
- • Availability in four currencies, allowing investors to subscribe and redeem from as little as 1 EUR, USD, GBP, or CHF.
- Blockchain-enabled efficiency, providing near-instant settlement, flexible custody options, real-time transparency of the shareholder register, and 24/7 borderless transferability of fund shares.
- Programmatic access via API or smart contracts.
Amundi serves as SAFO’s delegated investment manager, with CACEIS acting as depositary bank and fund administrator. Spiko acts as transfer agent, tokenization platform, and broker for the fund shares.
The shareholder register is hosted on Ethereum and Stellar, with the ability to expand to additional networks in response to investor demand.
