Swissquote has become an issuer of structured products by entering into a cooperation with Leonteq, with the aim of redefining and innovating the yield enhancement segment of the structured products market.
Swissquote will issue its own structured products under the new product brand "Yield Booster" via Leonteq's white label platform. The first products will be available as of today.
With an initial emphasis on yield enhancement, Swissquote will focus on developing products that offer private investors a greater transparency as well as cost-efficient and easy-to-execute tactical trading strategies for all market expectations. Leonteq, a leader in white-labelled solutions, will handle a broad range of services along the entire structured products value chain.
"Swissquote's move to become an issuer for structured products is a further milestone in the continuous development of our product range, and will raise our bank's profile amongst retail and institutional investors. We are convinced that, by cooperating with Leonteq, we will be able to offer our clients a variety of additional innovative investment solutions,"said Marc Bürki, CEO of Swissquote.
Lukas Ruflin, CEO of Leonteq added:"We are excited to partner with a bank that is playing a pioneering role in online banking. We look forward to working together with Swissquote to offer innovative investment solutions for the bank's retail client base as well as for our international client franchise."
This new partnership between Leonteq and Swissquote is an extension of their existing collaboration in the area of actively managed certificates (AMCs). Since 2018, Leonteq has issued more than 30 tracker certificates on theme-based indices sponsored by Swissquote. These have attracted notable investor demand, with traded volumes totalling approximately CHF 450 million in 2021.
