The Challenge

Why Issuers Use a Protected Cell

A standalone vehicle for every transaction duplicates cost, time and governance.

The Standalone SPV Route

  • Separate incorporation, board and bank account for each transaction
  • Audit and legal set-up repeated for each vehicle
  • Slower launch and fixed costs that do not scale down for smaller issues

The ASIP Route

  • A new cell within an existing, licensed company
  • Statutory ring-fencing between cells
  • Administration, custody and audit already in place
  • Each cell approved individually by the regulator
Structure

One Company, Segregated Cells

Each cell holds its own assets, issues its own securities and answers only for its own liabilities.

Creditors of one cell have no recourse to the assets of another cell or of the core.

Issued at cell level.

Each cell can issue notes or share classes on its own terms, currency and tenor, with its own identifier where required.

Governed centrally.

The core company provides the board, compliance, administration and custody framework used by every cell.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Addressing Queries

The structure, the process and who can participate.

A single legal entity whose assets and liabilities are divided into cells that are segregated by statute, so the liabilities of one cell cannot be met from the assets of another.

Timing depends mainly on the regulatory approval of the cell and completion of due diligence. We give a timetable once the term sheet is agreed.

Notes, certificates and share classes, in the currency and tenor the transaction requires.

Cells are currently issued by private placement. Listing can be considered case by case.

Securities issued by ASIP cells are offered to institutional and professional investors only.

Arcano Capital Markets Ltd manages the Program. ASIP is a separate licensed company with its own administrator, custodian and auditor.

Yes. The Program was formerly named Arbor Segregated Issuance Program PCC and has been renamed to align with the Arcano brand. Its licence and structure are unchanged.
