Investment Portfolios in Uncertain Times

USTreasury | GOLD SERIES

Institutional investors face a paradox: safety often means low yield, while higher yield means more risk. The Gold Series FlexGIA™ resolves that tension. Backed by Treasuries, statutory reserves, and gold bullion, it offers Treasury-class safety with an embedded hedge against inflation and systemic shocks. Through the MMM Initiative, FlexGIA™ channels capital and risk mitigation into modernizing mining, eliminating mercury, and strengthening local economies — outcomes that meet sustainable-investment mandates, open new opportunities for central banks and monetary authorities, and deliver tangible benefits to host governments.

PERSPECTIVES


MMM INITIATIVE
is launching two Ecosystems facilitated by issuance of US Treasury and gold-backed FlexGIA™ Reference Series as a portfolio diversification, floating rate, short duration, insurance company debt obligation, the interest payments and repayment of Principal of which are fully backed by US Treasury obligations and statutory "gold" Reserves designed to provide additional support for USD currency exposures.

IGF Principals, in association with AD&C Principals developed an advanced trust security structure after Black Monday in 1987 and implemented this high credit quality legal infrastructure into law in 1991. FlexGIA™ technologies were patented in the mid 1990s, to operate within this security infrastructure. Early configurations of FlexGIA™ contemplated inclusion of "gold" as a portfolio asset. Subsequent risk analytics concluded an optimal use of "gold" in supporting FlexGIA™ was in a risk mitigation configuration designed for periods with a high probability of significant increases in inflation and interest rates, concurrent with potential for significant global economic collapse, and/or heightened concern related to kinetic destabilisation.

GOLD ECOSYSTEM is designed to initially focus on acquisition of gold bullion to mitigate inflationary risk exposures, USD currency risks and potentially shorten time to FlexGIA™ prepayment, in a Weimar Republic economic scenario, although no assurance can be given.

ARTISANAL • SMALL SCALE  ECOSYSTEM is designed to facilitate Community-centric digital and robotic transformation of mining procedures and operations, increase local economic activity, improve miner wellness, and remediate environmental conditions. In addition, an objective is to develop global discovery and production centres to assure long-term sources of gold production, as well as other minerals, metal, and rare earth elements, produced in an environmentally friendly manner, on a sustainable basis.

GOLD ECOSYSTEM's next phase involves collaboration with central banks and monetary authorities to transform gold bullion into unique, branded "gold coins". In addition, the Program is designed to be
synergistic with United Nations planetGOLD mercury-free and local Community campaigns.
FlexETF™, an exchange tra​ded fund designed to enable transfers of FlexGIA™ Gold Initiative Infrastructure Reference Series by Authorised Participants for interests in Gold Ecosystem's FlexETF™.
These marketable exchange traded interests may benefit from a prepayment of FlexGIA™, which may include a means of acquiring "gold coin" under the Program.

Artisanal • Small Scale Mining Ecosystem is designed for application of new robotic technologies and mining methods which are mercury-free, digitally enhanced, with a focus on improving miner health, environmental remediation, and local Community economic expansion. This Ecosystem is also designed to facilitate acquisition of gold produced by artisanal and small scale mining operations at a cost lower than global market pricing. The Ecosystem is also focused on other precious metals, minerals, Rare Earth Elements ("REE") and advanced mining technologies, as well as use of digital intellegences ("AI") in mining. 

FlexGIA™ is designed as an institutional-grade reserve instrument. It behaves like a short-duration, senior secured note — but with features that protect portfolios when inflation accelerates, currencies weaken, or kinetic events destabilize markets. Principal plus accrued interest accounting makes it balance-sheet efficient, while daily accrual and annual rate resets keep volatility low. For institutions managing billions, this isn’t a theoretical advantage: it’s a measurable improvement in reserve performance under stress. For regulated parties, FlexGIA™ may qualify for zero or reduced risk-based capital charges, further enhancing its role as a reserve asset.

Initiative Infrastructure Series

This Initiative Infrastructure Reference Series of FlexGIA™ is designed to provide a unique FlexGIA™ Series adding currency risk mitigation in the form of physical gold, in addition to each payment of interest and repayment of Principal being fully backed by US Treaury obligations.

The Series is designed to provide core funding of the Mining, Minerals, Metals Initiative Infrastructure Ecosystems.

The Gold Ecosystem delivers bullion and branded coinage — potentially co-issued with central banks or monetary authorities — establishing premium, traceable value. Parallel to this, the Artisanal Ecosystem funds mercury-free mining and remediation in vulnerable communities, creating ESG credibility for sovereign wealth funds, mining companies, and billionaires who require environmental accountability. Together, the two ecosystems align capital markets with sustainability mandates.

MMM Initiative Infrastructure Reference Series

Gold Ecosystem
Artisanal • Small Scale Mining Ecosystem

An Initiative Infrastructure Reference Series of FlexGIA™ is to be issued by an IAC™ Insurer in a minimum amount of USD$1 billion. The size of this Reference Series may be increased from time to time based on demand.

Interest payments and Principal repayment of these 30 year, floating rate, high quality debt obligations are fully backed by US Treasury debt obligations and in addition, are further supported by IAC™ Insurer's statutory "gold Reserves", held by government approved custodians under the Investors Guaranty Fund, Ltd. (Policyholder Reserves) Act, 1991. IAC™ Insurers' obligations have been rated in the top rating category by international rating agencies for more than 30 years.

Periodic interest crediting rate is reset each year between 1 Year Treasury Index and Annual Cap which float within an agreed interest rate Lifetime Cap and Floor. A prepayment of FlexGIA™ is subject to a "look-back, make-whole" prepayment premium designed to achieve an agreed level of compound return established at issuance.

IAC™ Insurer's statutory "gold" Reserves are designed to support prepayment in a hyper-inflation event, as more fully described in applicable Terms Appendix.

FlexGIA™ Reference Series supported by statutory "gold" Reserves are also designed to mitigate various currency risk events and may be a useful addition to a portfolio of diversified Reference Series of FlexGIA™.

Each Diversified Portfolio Series expands the FlexGIA™ framework beyond a single issuance. By holding multiple series across maturities, institutions can create diversified income streams while reducing prepayment and reinvestment risk. In volatile markets, this portfolio approach strengthens valuation and liquidity, even under extreme economic conditions. Beyond simple diversification, each series enables transformation of a wide range of asset classes into FlexGIA™ form — stripping out timing mismatches and currency exposure, while mitigating core fixed-income risks. The result is a portfolio that behaves with the resilience of Treasuries, but carries embedded protections designed for today’s systemic and market uncertainties.

FlexGIA™ Reference Series may be designed to mitigate specific balance sheet risk exposures and apply "portfolio effect", as illustrated in the sample balance sheet available by pressing the following link. 

Assets Exchange Schematic

A prospective holder may exchange other forms of investment securities for FlexGIA™ Reference Series.

Addition of Gold Backed FlexGIA™ Reference Series to a diversified portfolio of FlexGIA™ Reference Series debt obligations may add currency and other forms of risk mitigation protection, particularly focused on periods of extreme global economic, illiquidity and/or kinetic risk exposures.

PAR+™ FlexGIA Series extend the platform into risk transfer. It enables parties to shift defined exposures to IAC™ Insurers, where they may be retained on balance sheet or securitized into the capital markets. Each PAR+™ Series is issued as a FlexGIA™, creating an instrument that combines high quality reserve security with bespoke risk coverage. Importantly, the transferring party may also acquire a portion of the PAR+™ Series, aligning interests while reducing net exposure.

Markets rarely prepare for the unthinkable — hyperinflation, sudden illiquidity, or geopolitical kinetic shocks. The FlexGIA™ Reference Series is expressly structured for such extremes: senior obligations secured by Treasuries and audited gold reserves, operating under statutory protections of the IGF Act. Beneficial in crisis conditions, Controllable Electronic Records (CERs) provide immediate peer-to-peer transferability through digital wallets — removing reliance on financial intermediaries and eliminating the rehypothecation clauses often found in brokerage contracts that allowed firms like Lehman Brothers to pledge client assets as their own collateral. FlexGIA™ with CERs keeps ownership direct, custody transparent, and value mobile precisely when conventional intermediaries and instruments fail.

Institutional parties — particularly Authorized Participants — benefit from acquiring FlexGIA™ directly, where daily accrual and annual resets make NAV straightforward to calculate and arbitrage spreads efficient. By CER-wrapping and contributing these holdings to a FlexETF™, they create liquid, listed instruments that preserve statutory and gold-backed protections while capturing predictable margins through in-kind creation and redemption. For central banks, sovereign funds, and insurers, this process turns FlexGIA™ into scalable, transparent collateral with enhanced secondary market depth.

For retail and advisory clients, the FlexETF™ delivers those same qualities in an accessible form: Treasury-class credit, embedded inflation hedge, and ESG credibility — packaged as exchange-listed units that trade like any other ETF. Without taxable distributions, value compounds internally until sale, producing clean capital gains treatment for end holders.

“Institutions can acquire FlexGIA™, wrap them as CERs, and contribute them into an ETF structure — creating liquidity and capital gains treatment while keeping the safety of Treasuries and gold.”

The FlexGIA™ framework is deliberately designed for resilience under stress. In extraordinary environments — hyperinflation, illiquidity, credit seizure, or systemic dislocation — Series terms may be amended by agreement to accommodate holders in distressed situations. Options include gold prepayment, restructuring into alternate collateral pools, or tailoring repayment schedules to match prevailing liquidity. This flexibility contrasts with the rigidity of conventional notes: rather than forcing fire-sale losses or defaults, FlexGIA™ provides a pathway to preserve value and stabilize portfolios. For institutions, that means continuity of capital treatment; for investors, it means practical optionality in the face of extreme conditions.

Gold held at the IAC™ Insurer level is more than a reserve asset — it can be transformed into a new class of digital | physical product. In extreme circumstances, FlexGold™ provides holders with direct access to verifiable, custodied bullion in a form that can circulate digitally or physically. For monetary authorities and central banks, co-branded FlexGold™ coins or digital certificates deliver multiple benefits: they strengthen sovereign credibility, provide a transparent and liquid store of value during systemic shocks, and support seigniorage by introducing a branded, premium instrument into circulation. FlexGold™ also offers authorities a channel to align with global ESG standards by ensuring that digital issuance is matched 1:1 with ethically sourced, independently audited bullion. For private-sector participants — from mining companies to wealth platforms — FlexGold™ creates an auditable, premium product that increases ecosystem value by aligning digital settlement with physical reserves. The result is a bridge between statutory capital, sovereign coinage, and private-market innovation.

In every Gold Series FlexGIA™, a portion of the IAC Insurer (Assurance archetype)’s Statutory Reserves is allocated to physical bullion. This reserve slice is designed to protect value in extreme circumstances — whether hyperinflation, systemic shock, or geopolitical disruption. Under such conditions, bullion acts as a multiplying anchor, ensuring that FlexGIA remains resilient even under severe stress.
 
Yet bullion is only the starting point. Over time, these reserves evolve into FlexGold™ — hybrid physical and digital units. Sovereign coinage programs in Bermuda, Cayman, and other participating jurisdictions create collector-grade, environmentally sensitive coins with premiums above spot value, while digital certificates enable secure peer-to-peer liquidity. Together, they amplify the underlying value of the gold held in IAC Insurer reserves.
 
In parallel, the IAC insurer and affiliated companies facilitate funding, risk mitigation, and environmental remediation for mining operations and local communities. By integrating ESG priorities and sourcing gold at a lower net cost, FlexGIA transforms reserves from a static asset into an active driver of development and sustainability.
 
For government monetary authorities and central banks, the Gold Series FlexGIA™ may be of particular interest as part of their international U.S. dollar reserves. Its unique features can complement traditional holdings of Treasuries and gold, offering benefits well aligned with the core objectives of central banks and monetary authorities in times of both stability and stress.

Privacy by design. Each FlexGold unit is bound to a Controlled Electronic Record (CER) that verifies authenticity without exposing holder identity. This gives central banks, family offices, and local governments the ability to prove ownership of reserves while maintaining the discretion needed for security and stability. 

Disaggregation for continuity. Larger FlexGold castings can be digitally disaggregated into smaller tradable units. In practice, this allows reserves to serve dual purposes: they act as long-term protection, but they can also be converted into immediate liquidity. 

For institutions, this is a way to manage balance sheets under stress; for corporates and family offices, it provides the flexibility to meet obligations such as payroll during extreme circumstances. 

Dual imagery and diplomacy. Castings often carry two symbols: the issuing mintor on one side and a sister jurisdiction on the other. This design adds collector value and, more importantly, turns each casting into a tangible representation of partnership. Local communities and international authorities alike can leverage these dual-branded coins as both economic and diplomatic assets.

Ecosystem layering. FlexGold units within the Gold Series strengthen upstream systems as well. A portion of the value created flows from local mining sites to country-level sovereign reserves, and ultimately into the global framework. For institutional holders, this means reserves that not only protect value but also participate in building it across jurisdictions and communities.

FlexGold™ - ​SEG Ecosystems

The Artisanal SEG Ecosystem is built to transf​orm how mining communities operate and how value circulates within them. Instead of extractive, one-way activity, the ecosystem uses a framework of digital medallions and tariff rules to create balance: miners, suppliers, governments, and investors all participate under a transparent, enforceable structure. 

At the site level, each mine functions like a Port Authority Opportunity Zone. A digital medallion tariff defines who may operate, what rights they hold, and how revenues are shared. Miners may receive medallions not just as wages, but as participation in the mine itself. That means their effort builds both immediate income and long-term stake. Suppliers and equipment providers are also woven into the tariff system, ensuring predictable access and clear compensation. 

At the country level, a portion of each mine’s digital medallions rolls up into a national pool. This structure allows the sovereign to build a mining-linked sovereign wealth fund, but one that is transparent, divisible, and tradeable in digital for​​m. Investors, ESG-focused funds, and development partners can buy into this national framework much like they would subscribe to equity in a public company — with proceeds going back down into the mines and communities. 

At the global level, these national pools link into a meta-ecosystem, hosted in jurisdictions such as Cayman or Bermuda. There, governance and trust frameworks assure continuity, while a portion of revenues from each country flows upward. This creates a living, distributed sovereign wealth framework for artisanal and small-scale mining across multiple geographies. Revenue participation, not just value. Unlike traditional mining concessions where wealth flows outward, the SEG framework ensures communities, workers, and governments share directly in revenues. 

The digital medallion ledger governs distribution automatically, reducing leakage and improving trust. Liquidity through wallets. Because medallions are digital, they can be held in wallets and traded peer-to-peer. This enables local miners to convert their participation into usable funds, while also giving international investors a transparent instrument to support mining reforms. 

ESG at the core. By embedding environmental and social conditions into the tariff framework, the ecosystem addresses mercury elimination, remediation, and safer working conditions. Funding flows can be tied to compliance benchmarks, turning ESG goals into enforceable, financed commitments. 

In short: the Artisanal SEG Ecosystem reframes mining not as an environmental liability, but as a structured wealth generator. It gives local workers equity, governments reserves, and international investors a clean, auditable instrument. And by linking site, country, and global levels, it ensures value and liquidity build upward while accountability flows downward.
