All rkShares funds are registered in Delaware and managed by Starke Management LLC, ensuring that every structure follows U.S. regulatory requirements while inheriting the efficiency, transparency, and accessibility of blockchain. *** ### Private Funds Our first category focuses on private funds, designed for sophiticated investors seeking access to differentiated strategies. These vehicles allow us to target opportunities across private equity, venture capital, digital assets, and alternative markets. By building them natively on-chain, we reduce operational friction, enable instant settlement through tokenized structures, and provide levels of transparency not possible in traditional fund setups. *** ### Mutual Funds We also plan to introduce Mutual-fund structures, offering diversified portfolios accessible to a broader range of investors while maintaining regulatory compliance. These funds will follow a more traditional framework but will integrate blockchain’s programmability for reporting, fee calculations, and real-time NAV tracking. The objective is to combine the stability of traditional mutual funds with the efficiency of tokenization, paving the way for long-term adoption. *** ### ETFs and the Path Forward Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) represent one of the next steps in our roadmap. In the U.S., ETFs can currently only be listed on public exchanges, which limits their immediate availability on-chain in a native way. However, there are continuous changes in US regulation potentially evolving towards blockchain based public exchanges. Our vision is to be ready for this transition. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
