From traditional securities to alternative and digital assets, Global Seed Trust gives you access to a broad range of investment products across every major asset class.
A cryptocurrency is a tradable digital asset or digital form of money, built on blockchain technology. Like Global Seed Trust, cryptocurrency markets are decentralized, meaning they are not issued or backed by a central authority such as a government. Cryptocurrency trading is the act of speculating on cryptocurrency price movements, or buying and selling the underlying coins via an exchange. Bitcoin, the first and father of cryptocurrencies, has been nicknamed the digital and modern gold and has been voted the best performing asset of the millennium.
Stock can be bought on stock exchanges, and such transactions are typically regulated by governments to prevent fraud, protect investors, and benefit the larger economy. As new shares are issued by a company, the ownership and rights of existing shareholders are diluted in return for cash to sustain or grow the business. Preferred stocks often possess higher dividend payments and a higher claim to assets in the event of liquidation, and may carry a callable feature.
Build a portfolio comprised of funds that aim to generate returns throughout your retirement. These funds are relatively low in market risk. Various investment types can include bond mutual funds, money market funds and Certificates of Deposit (CDs) for the fixed income portion of your portfolio.
Global Seed Trust is able to provide new-issue and secondary market municipal bonds that may not be available through other brokerage firms. Additional products may include taxable fixed-income securities, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, treasuries, closed-end funds, CDs, Unit Investment Trusts (UITs), preferreds and more. Our fixed-income representatives help analyze your bond portfolio and identify issues that fit your risk profile and investment objectives.
An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a basket of securities you buy or sell through a brokerage firm on a stock exchange. ETFs are offered on virtually all asset classes ranging from traditional investments to alternative assets like commodities or currencies. ETFs can be considered one of the most important products created for individual investors in recent years, and — if used wisely — are an excellent vehicle to achieve an investor's goals.
Mutual funds are an advantage for investors who may be looking for diversification. One mutual fund can offer the chance to invest in hundreds — sometimes thousands — of individual securities at once, so if any one security does poorly, the others can help offset that risk. Professionally managed mutual funds can be aligned to a variety of investment strategies and time horizons, and Global Seed Trust offers a large variety of highly rated funds for efficient and cost-effective money management.
Options trading gives you the opportunity to buy or sell a particular asset at a specific price within a set period of time. You can use options to pursue objectives such as managing risk and generating income. If you are a qualified options investor, you may invest in simple or complex options including spreads, strangles, straddles, combinations, synthetics, buy-writes, unwinds and naked puts/calls.
Annuities have features that can help ensure you'll have the money you need when you retire. Since many individuals are concerned with outliving their retirement funds, monthly income planning is one of the most important steps in creating the retirement lifestyle you want. Annuities are created to help with the tax-deferred growth and distribution of your wealth, with fixed-rate, indexed, and variable options available — offering protection during market downturns, minimum rate of return, principal protection, income for life, and death benefits.
A unit investment trust (UIT) is an investment company that offers a fixed portfolio, generally of stocks and bonds, as redeemable units to investors for a specific period of time. It is designed to provide capital appreciation and/or dividend income. UITs, along with mutual funds and closed-end funds, are defined as investment companies — all consisting of collective investments in which many investors combine their funds to be managed by a portfolio manager.
An Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) is a fundraising event administered by an exchange. For a user, an IEO is easy to participate in — there's no need to manage on-chain transactions with different wallets across blockchains, and the exchange stakes its reputation behind the projects on its platform. For projects, an IEO offers the promise of an immediate user base. Global Seed Trust prepares your account for IEOs and yield farming investments by performing vast due diligence across multiple exchanges. A minimum of $250,000 is required to invest in this portfolio.
Initial dex offerings, or IDOs, are tokens that represent any type of asset hosted on a decentralized exchange (DEX) — an IDO is when a project launches a token through a decentralized liquidity exchange. In the same way that traditional startups receive venture capital before launching, projects issuing initial dex offerings receive financing from individual investors. Unlike an initial public offering, investors in initial dex offerings never own any equity in the project.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are cryptographic assets on blockchain with unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish them from each other. Unlike cryptocurrencies, they cannot be traded or exchanged at equivalency. The most exciting possibility for NFTs lies in the creation of new markets and forms of investment. With Global Seed Trust, when you invest in our NFT portfolio, we help you claim a stake in massive upcoming legitimate token sales — purchasing at the right time and flipping them for profits on your behalf, or purchasing and holding while transferring asset ownership to you.
Not all investments are towards businesses or a pool of funds. Some of them are towards real assets like precious metals or natural resources. Investing in grains, gold, silver, or other precious metals has been preferred for ages, and they continue to be the best hedge against market movements and currency fluctuations.
Global Seed Trust offers financial instruments without relying on intermediaries such as brokerages, exchanges, or banks by using smart contracts on a blockchain. It's a system that removes the control banks, institutions and, to a large extent, the government have on money, financial products, and financial services, and runs on a digital/crypto currency payment system.
Global Seed Trust being fully decentralized isn't claimed or owned by any individual or entity, but was an idea brought to life by a network of integrated blockchain validators and portfolio managers operating on smart contracts.
A smart contract is a computer program or a transaction protocol stored on the blockchain which is intended to automatically execute, control or document legally relevant events and actions according to the terms of a contract or an agreement. They typically are used to automate the execution of an agreement so that all participants can be immediately certain of the outcome, without any intermediary's involvement or time loss.
Global Seed Trust is a protocol backed by blockchain and runs on smart contracts, hence payments and transactions are carried out through cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin (BTC), ethereum (ETH), ripple (XRP), binance token (BNB) and stablecoins such as USDT and USDC.
Wealth management usually refers to a suite of services that provides the opportunity to work with a financial professional. It usually includes working together on a broad plan to help grow and protect assets and it often includes the ability to take advantage of professional money management.
Alternative investments are investments specifically meant for accredited investors who are wealthier than normal retail investors. Such investments are made in assets that do not fall under traditional asset classes, like individual stocks, bonds, etc. The lower market correlation makes these investments less volatile, and hence these turn out to be a hedge against inflation for investors. These non-conventional investments are classified as tangible (real estate, precious metals, commodities, etc.) and intangible (private equity, hedge funds, cryptocurrency, etc.).
Exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, are investments that fall between alternative and traditional investments. They let investors enjoy alternative investment opportunities while not facing any illiquidity issues. In addition, unlike other alt funds, ETFs are well-regulated and could be easily managed, sold, and converted to cash.
