PNAQL

Infrastructure for investment in artistry.

PNAQL is the market infrastructure connecting creative IP to institutional capital.

Our mission

A world where financial access is no longer a constraint to creative possibility.

Every other major asset class has a capital market: a way to price it, finance it, hold it and trade it. Creative IP, from music catalogues to film libraries, still changes hands through private, one-off deals, priced on recent sales and closed to most of the capital that would hold it for the long term. The people who create the value see the least of it, and the investors who want it cannot reach it.

Creative IP keeps creating value long after the moment it was paid for. PNAQL builds the market that can hold it.

Our founding research, The Missing Market for Creative Utility, sets out why that value goes unpriced, and why the market to hold it has never formed.

The research

A capital market for culture.

  • Origination and structuring.

    Contracted creative income identified, assessed and placed in a dedicated vehicle.

  • Tokenised issuance.

    Digital units that mirror the legal rights one to one.

  • Register and transfer.

    Every holding recorded, and transferable between eligible holders.

  • Distribution and reporting.

    Income collected, paid out and reported, reconciled against the register.

How we work

  1. Listen.

    One confidential conversation to understand what you hold or what you are looking for.

  2. Design.

    Options in plain language, with the trade-offs, costs and timing laid out.

  3. Arrange.

    We bring together the rights holder and the right lenders or investors, and structure the terms.

  4. Run on infrastructure.

    Each structure runs on PNAQL infrastructure: issuance, a digital register, and income collected, paid out and reported.
