A Build · Operate · Transfer Proposal

Win the wallet you've already won the app for.

Odyssey is an in-app, fee-based wealth-advisory franchise — built on a partner bank's digital-affluent base, run by a seasoned US RIA team, and handed to you as a proven, re-rated business.

01 — The Opportunity

You own the clients, the app and the trust. The one thing missing is recurring advice.

Your bank has already done the hardest part of wealth management — gathering an engaged, affluent, digital base. What it hasn't yet built is the recurring, fee-based advisory layer the market rewards most richly.

1.3m

Engaged digital base

1.3m monthly active users and a premium affluent base, already served — the costly part of wealth gathering is done.

Class-leading distribution

Best-in-market digital channels let advice be delivered at scale and low cost — reach no competitor in the region can match.

Brand & trust

The bank's name lends instant credibility to a new managed-investment offering — the prerequisite clients demand before they hand over assets.

02 — The Offering

A genuine advisory house, built inside the bank's app.

Odyssey is a fully integrated RIA-style layer: discretionary and advisory mandates, open architecture, and a tiered fee — wrapped in advice clients simply cannot get locally today.

Advised assetsAnnual fee
First tier — entry mandates1.50%
Mass-affluent1.20%
High-net-worth0.90%
Ultra / institutional0.55%
Blended realised yield≈ 1.0%

Plus product margin, multi-currency FX and performance fees — and a securities-backed lending layer that adds spread income on assets already on-platform.

Open architecture

Local instruments via Georgian markets alongside global ETFs, funds and US securities — advice, not product-push.

In-app & advised

Digital onboarding and model portfolios, paired with a credentialed adviser for the relationships that matter.

Securities-backed lending

An SBLOC layer via a Loan Management Account — liquidity and refinancing without forcing clients to liquidate.

Fully compliant

Built and run within the bank's regulated perimeter, under the supervision of its national regulator.

03 — The Model

A five-year course, anchored to assets that already exist.

The Year-5 target is just 12–42% of the bank's current deposit base converted into advised assets — a deliberately conservative proxy, since most affluent investable wealth is held away from the bank.

Capture is a one-time Year-5 penetration of today's deposits — not a growth rate. Built up over five years on a 10 / 25 / 48 / 74 / 100% ramp. Illustrative; derived from the partner bank's publicly available financials.

04 — Value to the Bank

The fee is the means. The re-rating is the prize.

The market pays a different price for a dollar of profit depending on where it comes from. Spread profit is priced as cyclical. Recurring advisory profit is priced as durable — and the gap is large.

How the market pays
6–8×12–20×

A unit of spread profit values at 6–8× earnings. The same unit of recurring fee profit values at 12–20×. Re-labelling where the profit comes from re-rates it — and a credible advisory franchise can lift the multiple on the whole bank.

+5–22%

Share-price uplift

Base case — from standalone earnings accretion through to a whole-group re-rate.

~0.4%

Capital-light

The advisory book adds barely any risk-weighted assets — almost all profit is distributable and ROE-accretive.

₾16.9bn

Year-12 assets

The book keeps compounding after transfer — you own a standalone fee business by Year 5.

≈ ₾33m

Year-5 advisory profit

Base case, fully-loaded — rising with the book through operating leverage.

05 — The Journey, Years 6–12

The build ends at Year 5. The growth doesn't.

Once you own it, the franchise compounds — new tiers, deeper mandates and regional reach turn a built business into a widening moat.

i

Mass-affluent digital tier

A low-minimum, model-portfolio advice tier inside the app — multiplying the client count at scale.

ii

Discretionary & alternatives

Move advisory clients onto discretionary mandates; add private markets and structured products.

iii

Regional reach

Export the platform to Uzbekistan's millions of digital users and the wider region.

iv

Next-generation wealth

Capture inheritance and the next generation — multi-decade, sticky relationships.

v

Securities-backed lending

An SBLOC / LMA layer that expands revenue with minimal displacement of the existing business.

vi

Assets held away come home

As advice deepens trust, investable wealth held at other institutions migrates onto the platform.

06 — The Deal

Build · Operate · Transfer — the risk sits with us.

We fund and run the build and are repaid out of the revenue it produces. The bank takes full ownership only once the unit is proven and profitable.

1

Stand up

Licensing, billing engine and model portfolios live; first adviser cohort trained; pilot book onboarded.

2

Scale

Roll out across the segment; the book turns toward profitability.

3

Deepen

Discretionary mandates and wider product; advisers credentialed to operate independently.

4

Localise

Your certified advisers run the grid; our team steps back.

5

Transfer

At run-rate, the bank exercises the buy-out. We exit. You own a re-rated engine.

Aligned

We hold a minority carried interest, paid from the revenue the unit creates — not an upfront cheque.

Pre-agreed exit

The bank buys us out at Year 5 at a fixed multiple of the advisory unit's run-rate profit.

De-risked

The execution risk of building a new business line sits with us — the operator — throughout the build.

07 — Why Odyssey

An operator, not a consultant.

Odyssey brings a US Registered Investment Adviser's operating system to the Caucasus — and stays on the hook to deliver it.

US RIA expertise

Deep fluency in US markets, the asset classes affluent clients want, and the fiduciary advice model the world's best wealth managers run.

Institutional model portfolios

A professional investment team and model-portfolio engine — ready to deploy, not built from scratch.

A five-year training programme

Senior advisers train and certify the bank's people to run the franchise independently by the time we transfer it.
