Fund managers operating on our platform will receive a complete set of technology tools for managing their funds and interacting with investors. The main aspects of fund operations are controlled through open source smart contracts, which fosters improved transparency and makes the fund more trustworthy and attractive to the investor. Investment transactions are carried out according to smart contracts that regulate and control the acquisition or sale of equity shares utilizing our utility tokens, the “NSU”. Every time a new fund is established on our platform, a new smart contract will be instituted and published by the Nousprotocol on the blockchain. We anticipate that this smart contract will contain the specific terms, conditions and features of the fund. Each smart contract will have two types of parameters: constant (unchangeable, permanent) and variable (can be changed or modified). Constant parameters, such as creation date of the fund, the initial capitalization, the founders, etc., are final and cannot be altered after the publication of the smart contract. By contrast, variable parameters, such as the investment maturity timeframe and the assignment of the manager, can be modified by utilizing a private key. In this latter case, the new rules will only apply to new investors, since it will be physically impossible to make any changes retroactively.
Advantages of Nousplatform for Investors
By using the Nousplatform, an investor will be able to invest in any resident fund at any
time by purchasing equity shares with NSU utility tokens (based on the ERC20 standard
and, after listing, available for purchase at one or more cryptocurrency exchanges). As of
this writing, the ERC20 token standard has the advantages associated with leading
cryptocurrency Ethereum, such as using a single wallet for all ERC20 tokens. If an
investor wants to liquidate all or some of the equity shares of funds he or she holds, the
investor would receive NSU at the then current exchange rate at the time of the
transaction. We propose that an investor on the Nousplatform will be able to choose from multiple
funds with differentiated portfolios to diversify risks. He/she will be able to decide
whether to participate in a given fund based on research of the fund's statistics recorded
on the blockchain, which offers transparent, unaltered real data. The Nousprotocol
creates snapshots of the investment portfolio of each fund with a specified period, and
logs them in the blockchain. Statistics available for review and analysis at any time in a
personal back office and the smart contract open source code is available for the public
to review.
An investor can analyze the activity of any fund in his/her back office. The statistical data
of a fund based on snapshots shows the fund's economic profile at any given period. In
addition, it reveals the redemption and acquisition of assets, and any other modification of the portfolio, as well as the liquidity index, the number of tokens in reserve, the fund's
own capital in relation to the total portfolio, and so on.
The Nousplatform will provide tools for analyzing and evaluating funds based on various
statistical data. These reports will be available for any user to review. The main advantages for investors are simplicity, transparency, the ability to diversify,
quick deposit or withdrawal of funds, no bureaucracy, set rules of participation for all the
parties involved, no minimum amount entry requirements, and unaltered and accurate
data. In the near future, we plan to create a merchant portal for the Nousplatform, which will
allow investors to pay for goods and services using their equity shares, assuming those
assets are always under management of the same entity and utilized only when
necessary. This approach, in our opinion, should lead to a new kind of relationship
between the buyer and the seller, where money, as we know it, will no longer be
needed; we anticipate that the economy will shift toward tokenized barter.
Type of Funds Supported
At our first stage of development, the Nousplatform will support five types of funds:
1. Open-ended Investment Funds
2. Closed-ended Investment Funds
3. Venture Capital Funds
4. Charitable Funds
5. Family Trust Funds
Open-ended Investment Fund
Open-ended investment funds enable Investors to acquire or sell equity shares directly
from the fund. Within our platform, Investors will initially transfer their assets in the
form of Nous Tokens directly to the fund. The fund in return will assign tokenized equity
shares to the investor. The investor can sell these shares back to the Fund at any time
for the market value of the shares, based on the fund’s performance. This approach
allows the fund constantly to increase liquidity, and allows the investor to liquidate the
shares at any time. The fund typically charges Investors trading fees for the acquisition
and disposition of the equity shares and may charge performance fees.
