The Problem We Solve

Despite increasing demand for alternative assets, access and liquidity remain structurally limited.

• Access remains gated. Institutions routinely allocate 20–30% of portfolios to alternatives, while retail investors hold less than 5%. Barriers—minimums, paperwork, and jurisdictional limits—exclude the majority.
• Currencies decay. In many regions, savers lose purchasing power annually. Yield-bearing assets exist, but remain inaccessible where they are most needed.
• Liquidity is absent. Even strong cash-generating assets often lock investors into 5–10 year commitments with no secondary exit. Operators, in turn, pay a premium for inflexible capital.
• Trust is fractured. Centralized finance is familiar but opaque. Decentralized finance is transparent and borderless, but complex, volatile, and often disconnected from the real economy.

The result:

• Investors cannot easily enter, rebalance, or exit.
• Operators cannot raise capital efficiently or access global demand.
• Liquidity remains stranded in silos, leaving markets fragmented.

What’s missing is a venue that combines:

• Broad eligibility, not exclusive access.
• Yield sourced from real industries—transport, energy, agriculture, property.
• Instant liquidity through transferable, tradeable positions.
• Simple, transparent structures with institutional-grade safeguards.

This is the gap that Karpous is designed to close.
