The Swiss structured products and derivatives specialist has added Swissquote to its multi-issuer platform.
Swissquote is now available to Leonteq clients via its «one-stop-shop» structured products platform LynQs, Leonteq announced in a statement Wednesday.
The new product offering by Swissquote focuses on yield enhancement payoffs and includes underlying, and all major currencies. Swissquote’s products are available for distribution in more than 30 markets across EMEA and select APAC countries.
Yield Enhancement
Leonteq on its website explains that investors of yield enhancement products expect sideways or slightly rising underlying prices, and the holder of the product generally remains exposed to the downside of the underlying asset.
«Leonteq has developed one of the most innovative digital platforms for structured products. LynQs functionalities will enable us to provide access to a wider investor base as we chart this new territory of becoming an issuer of structured products,» says Peter Rosenstreich, head of investment products at Swissquote.
Groundwork
At the start of the year, the two companies announced their cooperation in the structured investment product space where Swissquote acts as issuer, distributing its products to its client base. Leonteq's role is to provide services from conception to product introduction, referred to as value chain.
