FAQ
Can the returns on Spiko funds change?
Yes, Treasury yields are aligned with interest rates set by central banks. As a result, the performance of Spiko funds is subject to variations, influenced by monetary policy decisions taken by the US Federal Reserve (USD funds) and the European Central Bank (EUR funds) respectively.
What is the risk-free rate?
In finance, the risk-free rate represents the return on financial assets where the risk of default is so low as to be considered negligible:
- the risk-free rate in USD is the return on Treasury bonds issued by the United States;
- the risk-free rate in EUR is the return on Treasury bonds issued by the strongest countries in the eurozone, such as Germany.
by investing exclusively in such securities, Spiko funds aim to return the capital invested at the risk-free rate in USD or EUR.
Can I use Spiko as an individual?
Absolutely! You can create an account and start using Spiko right away. If you own a company, you can manage personal and business accounts from a single interface. Each account remains separate, so funds cannot be mixed.
Is my capital fully protected?
The Spiko EU T-Bills Money Market Fund exclusively invests in Treasury Bills issued and guaranteed by top-tier countries like France and Germany. While your capital is at risk if any of these countries default on their short-term debt, a sovereign guarantee is usually stronger than a bank's capital guarantee, as banks are more likely to fail than governments. This is why most large companies and institutions prefer parking their cash in Treasury Bills rather than term deposits. To learn more, read our article on capital guarantees.
How would I access my funds if Spiko goes bankrupt?
First and foremost, you have no financial exposure to Spiko’s insolvency, as your funds are never on Spiko’s balance sheet. When you deposit funds, they are transferred directly from your checking account to the depositary bank. Likewise, withdrawals are sent straight from the depositary bank to your designated bank account. The account must be in your name, as Spiko cannot be used as a payment method.
That said, Spiko’s insolvency could affect you operationally, as the platform might no longer be available for placing withdrawal orders, for example. Fortunately, Spiko’s products are regulated and supervised by the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF), and their operation does not depend on the distributor. In practice, you can always place your withdrawal orders through the management company by phone or email.
