What Is a mayaNomics Investment Club?
An Investment Club under the mayaNomics Framework is a self-managed, consensus-governed cooperative — not a commercial fund. It operates outside the restrictive boundaries of standard collective investment scheme laws (including Swiss CISA exemptions) by virtue of its egalitarian, participant-directed structure.
What It IS
- A peer-governed capital cooperative
- Exempt from CISA collective scheme rules
- Anchored in Swiss private law principles
- Blockchain-ledgered for full transparency
- Open to retail and institutional allocators
- Cross-border by structural design
What It Is NOT
- A licensed investment fund
- A managed account service
- A speculative trading vehicle
- A guaranteed-return product
- A replacement for professional advice
- A closed, invitation-only structure
Legal Basis — Swiss Private Law Exemption
Under Swiss law, a self-managed investment club where all members actively participate in investment decisions is not classified as a collective investment scheme under CISA (Art. 7 CISA). This exemption is the structural cornerstone of the mayaNomics model — every club formed through the Forum is built to satisfy this criterion from day one.
Why Now? The Geoeconomic Imperative
The Architecture of Club Formation
Forming a mayaNomics Investment Club follows a strict, repeatable four-phase protocol. Each phase has defined deliverables, governance checkpoints, and legal milestones.
Phase 01 — Forum Alignment
Identify co-allocators within the mayaNomics Portal using the Peer-to-Peer Synergy Engine. Filter by shared conviction, target asset class, geographic mandate, and risk tolerance. Minimum 3 members required; no maximum.
- Member KYC verification
- Shared mandate document
- Risk parameter alignment
- LOI execution
Phase 02 — Legal Hardening
Adopt the Forum's standardized structural bylaws. The constitution formally establishes the club as a self-managed cooperative under Swiss private law, documenting each member's active participation rights to satisfy the CISA exemption criteria.
- Adopt standard bylaws template
- Register club entity
- Open segregated account
- Appoint club secretary
Phase 03 — Capital Aggregation
Establish automated accounting tracks using the Forum's blockchain ledger tools. Every participant's voting weight, equity allocation, and capital contribution are recorded immutably — preventing internal disputes and providing audit-ready records.
- Ledger wallet setup
- Initial capital deposits
- Voting weight assignment
- Contribution schedule
Phase 04 — IVOA Deployment
Run all potential private deals through the IVOA Asset Screening Matrix to confirm structural soundness against geopolitical friction, regulatory freezes, and state-backed market distortions before any capital is committed.
- IVOA training session
- First deal submission
- Committee review
- Capital deployment
The IVOA Asset Screening Matrix
The Investment Viability & Opportunity Assessment (IVOA) Matrix is the Forum's proprietary methodology for grading any Private Equity, venture, or real-world asset (RWA) allocation across six international policy vectors. It produces a composite score from 0–100 that determines deal eligibility for club deployment.
Scoring Vectors & Weighting
| Vector | Weight | Key Assessment Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Geopolitical Stability Index | 25% | Sovereign risk, treaty alignment, conflict proximity |
| Regulatory Compliance Score | 20% | CISA exemptions, AML/KYC framework, cross-border legality |
| Capital Flow Liquidity | 20% | FX convertibility, repatriation rights, clearing friction |
| Asset Structural Integrity | 15% | Title clarity, encumbrance status, collateral quality |
| Counterparty Credibility | 10% | Track record, governance transparency, ESG alignment |
| Alpha Corridor Potential | 10% | Asymmetric upside, first-mover advantage, network effects |
| Composite IVOA Score | 100% | Weighted aggregate — minimum 65/100 required for deployment |
