Leonteq today announced the launch of constant leverage certificates, further expanding its range of exchange-traded leverage products in Switzerland on SIX Swiss Exchange and BX Swiss.
The launch marks another important step in the expansion of Leonteq’s retail flow business (RFB) and further strengthens its position among the leading issuers of exchange-listed leverage products in Switzerland.
Constant leverage certificates allow investors to take leveraged positions in rising or falling markets but unlike knock-out warrants and mini-futures, they do not have a knock-out barrier. Their returns are primarily driven by the daily movement of the underlying and have no dependency on changes in implied volatility as is the case with traditional warrants.
This latest addition complements Leonteq’s offering of leverage products, following the rollout of warrants, mini-futures, and knock-out warrants. With this continued expansion of its product range, Leonteq now offers more than 23,000 listed leverage products across SIX Exchange and BX Swiss, making it the largest provider of exchange-listed leverage products in the Swiss market.
The extension of the product range has been accompanied by strong momentum in Leonteq’s retail flow business. Its market share, measured by the number of transactions, has increased to 14%, up from 6% a year ago, highlighting the continued growth of the business.
Manuel Dürr, Head of Sales Switzerland at Leonteq, stated: “The Swiss market has a well-established retail investor community, with growing demand for flexible and transparent leverage products. Despite competing with issuers that have been active in this segment for more than two decades, Leonteq has rapidly established itself as a leading provider, supported by strong momentum in our retail flow business and consistently top-ranked market making, as measured monthly by the Payoff Market Making Index. This launch further strengthens one of the broadest offerings of leverage products in the market, while our continued investment in technology and trading capabilities supports our ambition to deliver a seamless investor experience and drive further growth in the Swiss market.”
