The Most Valuable Property on the Planet
The worldwide value of Intellectual Property is six trillion dollars, with 120 million active patents and 3.4 million new patents filed annually. While IP touches nearly every facet of the economy, only a fraction have value, and without the proper process and expertise to know the good from the bad, investing can be daunting.
FinTrust simplifies the complex.
“We’re proud to offer this great opportunity to our investors. Rarely do opportunities this extensive become available to the marketplace. Specifically, passive residual income from the new digital economy.”
—Allen Gillespie, CFA®, Fund Manager

FinTrust Funds Overview
KEY FEATURES
We believe intellectual property and intangible assets drive business value, so we seek to invest in companies with strong IP portfolios.
Intellectual property is not limited to a single sector, so we believe in building a diversified portfolio across economic sectors.
We recognize that regular cash flow streams may help to buffer stormy markets or provide income to investors. Utilizing the listed options markets is a better way to create cash flow streams and control risk than relying solely on dividend-paying stocks and bonds.
