FAQs

What is Ctrl Alt?

Combining groundbreaking technology and expert financial engineering, Ctrl Alt is the B2B infrastructure provider that makes structuring and investing in alternative asset classes efficient, cost-effective, and accessible.

When did Ctrl Alt start?

Launched in 2020 by Matt Ong (formerly of Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse) to open up access to the growing world of tokenised assets, Ctrl Alt has since become the leading expert in the sector.

Why Ctrl Alt?

Ctrl Alt brings a new arm of infrastructure technology by blending industry expertise in tokenised assets with financial technology. The Ctrl Alt team is composed of financial and product experts including alumni from Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, UBS and Revolut.

Where is Ctrl Alt based?

The Ctrl Alt team is based in London, UK, and Dundalk, Ireland.

Is Ctrl Alt Regulated?

Alt Ltd (FRN 974321) is an Appointed Representative of Infinity Asset Management LLP (FRN: 464315), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

How does Ctrl Alt use tokenisation in their products?

Harnessing the power of tokenisation, our solutions seamlessly integrate both the on and off-chain benefits, combining traditional investment structures with new technology. We provide a secure pathway to tokenised asset structuring while ensuring legal and regulatory compliance.

What is the difference between the Terminal and API Investing Solution?

Our Terminal Solution is an institutional-grade desktop-based product solution where you have the option to invest on behalf of clients. The API solution is an app-based product. Using your existing platform, you'll be able to leverage our technology, structuring capabilities, and supply of assets to give your eligible customers access.

What type of assets can Ctrl Alt structure?

We operate an asset agnostic platform. Previous experience includes: Private Credit, Real Estate, Infrastructure, Private Equity

Who has ownership of the asset?

The assets are owned by a legal entity (company) and your client will own part of that legal entity. Ctrl Alt arranges the formation of the legal entity with the help of lawyers.

How does Ctrl Alt minimise risks involved with investing in tokenised assets?

Investing in tokenised assets comes with risks and for each asset we list, we describe via our Key Information Documents what those risks are and what the risk profile is. While the asset itself carries inherent risks, we've built an operationally safe and secure platform. For example, funds are collected and held in a regulated UK escrow account, away from Ctrl Alt.

What happens to my asset and/or my clients investment if something happens to Ctrl Alt?

The assets are owned by the end investors via a company separate to Ctrl Alt that they are shareholders in. Therefore, if anything happens to Ctrl Alt your investment is segregated, we have no claim to the assets. As Ctrl Alt is involved in the operational element, we will arrange for the assets to be sold and any funds owed returned to you if Ctrl Alt were to stop operations.

Does Ctrl Alt have permissions to operate?

Yes. Ctrl Alt carries out activities which are required to be regulated in the UK. Ctrl Alt (FRN: 974321) is an Appointed Representative of Infinity Asset Management LLP (FRN: 464315), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

How can my clients feel comfortable that the assets are genuine?

We work with asset partners who are well established in their respective fields. They validate that the assets are genuine and have relevant paperwork where required.

Will my client be issued shares following their investment?

Investors are issued with digital shares in a company that owns the underlying investment assets. This gives investors legal claim to the asset.

Do my client have the option to get their money back?

Tokenised assets are often by nature illiquid and are most suitable for longer term investment horizons. Ctrl Alt allows investors to vote on when they want to sell the underlying asset. If the majority want to sell then the asset is sold and the proceeds of the sale are distributed back to investors.

Who manages the assets?

Assets are managed by expert partners. Ctrl Alt facilitates that purchase and the investor updates on the asset.

Once structured, are Ctrl Alt assets insured?

For details of any specific investments, your customers will need to check the investment overview produced. Insurance cover may vary per product.

What is the maximum that my client can invest in a asset via Ctrl Alt?

This depends on how the deal is structured. For example, for FinTech client's customers, the maximum ownership for one individual is 20%. If you're looking to explore one of Ctrl Alt solutions and want to find out more about investment terms, please reach out to us via info@ctrl-alt.co.

How do my clients invest in assets once structured?

Ctrl Alt provides two investment platform options for our SPV 3.0 and Funds 3.0 products. Our Terminal Solution is an institutional-grade desktop-based product solution where you have the option to invest on behalf of clients. The API solution is an app-based product. Using your existing platform, leverage our technology, structuring capabilities, and supply of assets to give your eligible customers access.
