Own something real.
Direct, fractional ownership of real, income-producing assets — starting with ships. Structured with regulated partners. Every fee and every layer in plain sight.
- From €1,000
- BaFin-compliant framework
- Every fee disclosed
Three steps to co-ownership
No paperwork maze. You review the asset, subscribe your share, and receive your share of the income.
Income is not guaranteed and depends on how the asset performs. Investments carry risk up to total loss.
- 01
Review the asset
Look at the real asset — what it is, what it earns and what it costs. All disclosed before you decide.
- 02
Subscribe your share
Take a stake from €1,000. Your fractional ownership is held in a regulated structure, in your name.
- 03
Receive income
When the asset earns, you receive your share of it. Transparently accounted for, nothing hidden.
A real bulk carrier. Not a fund slice, not a speculative bet.
The first OwnX asset is a working ship of steel: a bulk carrier of the “Handysize” class, the smaller, versatile size that moves raw materials like grain, ore or coal across the world's oceans. Its income comes from charter contracts: shipping companies pay for it to move their cargo.
You don't own a number on a screen, but a share of a concrete, named asset — with everything that comes with it: value, income and risk.

Structure & costs – the whole box
Hidden layers and unclear fees are why so many distrust capital markets. So we show everything — before you ask. Here is every party and every fee.
Every fee, openly stated
| Fee | What for | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Placement fee one-off | A one-off fee when you subscribe your share. | 1.5% |
| Management, operations & custody annual | Ongoing costs for management, operations, regulation and the independent depositary — all included. | 1.0% p.a. |
| Performance fee above 8% p.a. | Only on the part of the return above the 8% p.a. hurdle. Below it: nothing. | 20% |
Target return: 8% p.a. (IRR), net of costs. A target, not a guarantee: income fluctuates and is not assured. The performance fee begins only above that hurdle, so OwnX earns from performance once the target is exceeded.
How OwnX earns: From the one-off placement fee, a portion of ongoing management — and from the performance fee only above 8% p.a. No hidden mark-ups, no kickbacks. When you win, we win with you — not before.
Tax-efficient by structure: The ship's income is taxed under the flat tonnage tax (§ 5a of the German Income Tax Act) rather than full profit taxation — a structural advantage of this ownership form.Not tax advice; the tax effect depends on your personal situation.
Planned terms. All fees and the target return are finalised before the first closing in the legally required key information document (PRIIPs KID).
OwnX is not a fund, not crypto speculation and not a trading game. It is direct ownership of real assets — digitally tokenised, regulated and disclosed.
Instead of an opaque fund
You see the asset
No black box of feeder funds and intermediate layers. You know the concrete asset and every fee.
Instead of crypto speculation
A real asset, digitally tokenised
Regulated tokenisation makes real ownership accessible and transferable — no hype, no price ticker at three in the morning. A real thing that really earns.
Instead of a trading app
For considered decisions
No red and green numbers, no dopamine design. Made for people who decide calmly.
Regulated. Safeguarded. Disclosed.
Trust doesn't come from the word “safe”. It comes from structures you can check.
Named partners to follow. The KVG, depositary and auditor will be named openly before the first closing — trust is built with names, not logos.
Fractional ownership
A real, legally held ownership of the asset — not a mere claim.
BaFin-compliant framework
Structured within the regulated German framework (KAGB), managed by a regulated KVG.
Independent depositary
A separate, supervised body controls the assets — kept apart from OwnX.
Key information document
All costs and risks in the statutory PRIIPs KID — before you subscribe.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly do I own?
A fractional, legally held ownership claim in a concrete asset — a ship, the first time around. Not a fund slice, not a debt instrument. Your share is held digitally tokenised within a regulated framework — that's the technology behind it, not speculation. The exact legal form is described in full in the key information document.
How do I make money — and is it guaranteed?
The asset earns income (e.g. from charter contracts) and you receive your share of it. The first asset is calculated with a target return of 8% p.a. (IRR) net of costs — a target, not a guarantee. Income fluctuates, and there is a risk of losing up to your entire stake. We promise no returns — we show the mechanics.
What fees apply?
Three fees, all in the open: a one-off 1.5% at subscription, an ongoing 1.0% p.a. for management, operations and custody (all included), and a 20% performance fee — but only on the part of the return above the 8% p.a. hurdle. Full details in the “Structure & costs” section, finalised in the PRIIPs key information document. No hidden mark-ups.
Who regulates this?
The structure is set up within the German framework (KAGB) and managed by a regulated capital management company (KVG), with an independent depositary. BaFin is the competent supervisory authority for this framework.
What happens if OwnX disappears?
Your ownership does not depend on OwnX continuing to exist. The asset is held in its own company and controlled by an independent depositary. OwnX is the platform — not the custodian of your assets.
Can I exit again?
Real assets are long-term investments and not sellable at any time. At launch we plan no daily trading. Whether and when a secondary market emerges depends on demand — we communicate that honestly and promise no liquidity that isn't there.
What's the minimum to start?
From €1,000. The goal is to make real ownership of real assets accessible — not just for the wealthy.
