Leonteq AG announced that it has initiated a new cooperation with Swissquote Bank Ltd. (Swissquote) for the manufacturing and distribution of structured products. Leonteq and Swissquote have entered into a cooperation agreement for the issuance and distribution of structured products with an initial focus on yield enhancement pay-offs. Swissquote will join Leonteq's technology platform for fully white-labelled issuers and leverage Leonteq's expertise to create and distribute structured products.

As part of the cooperation, Leonteq will provide a broad range of services along the entire value chain, including structuring, pricing and hedging as well as product documentation, market-making and lifecycle management. In this context, Swissquote will be responsible for the distribution of its structured products to its own clients and will receive access to a broad base of qualified investors through Leonteq's international distribution network. Swissquote will also become an issuer on LynQs, Leonteq's one-stop-shop for structured investment solutions.

First products issued by Swissquote will be available in subscription as of today. 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 which have attracted notable investor demand with traded volumes totaling approximately CHF 450 million in 2021.

These tracker certificates have included investment strategies on cryptocurrencies as well as a range of sustainability-focused certificates, including the tracker certificate on the Swissquote Rainbow Rights Index, which was awarded with the "Best ESG Product" at the Swiss Derivative Awards 2021.
