The world of leveraged products is fast-moving, precise and full of possibility. Anyone wanting to have success here needs not only a feel for markets, but also the right access to products so that the opportunities can be seized efficiently. That is exactly where Leonteq comes in: the specialist in structured products entered the world of leveraged instruments this year. The issuer has now sent another clear signal with the launch of more than 5,000 leveraged products, the majority of them warrants, on the BX Swiss. This opens up a new dimension in diversity, transparency and tradeability that offers investors the chance to take advantage of market fluctuations and turn even the smallest movements into prospective gains.
Over recent years the BX Swiss has established itself as a major platform for private investors. With over 5,000 warrants now available for trading, Leonteq offers one of the broadest product universes on the Swiss market. The choice ranges from leveraged instruments and classic warrants on blue chips through indices all the way to commodities and currencies on both the long and the short side, thus covering a huge range of market expectations and investment strategies. This diversity offers a valuable opportunity for active private investors in particular to profit from short-term movements on the market or even hedge existing portfolios.
Leonteq attaches particular importance to the issue of transparency, with all relevant key ratios of the warrants now provided on the product detail pages – and in real time. These include, for instance, the implied volatilities, the sensitivities and the strike prices. That gives investors immediate access to the critical information they need in order to make informed trading decisions. This service is a key point of difference in the market and helps to significantly increase the attractiveness of warrants, especially for less experienced investors.
Another cornerstone of the new product range is Leonteq’s outstanding market-making qualities. As independent analyses show, most recently documented in the July issue of payoff magazine, the company offers a persuasive combination of narrow spreads, stable quotations and high reliability even in volatile market phases. Leonteq is thus setting standards that go beyond the mere product range and delivering a sustainable improvement in both tradeability and pricing. That its top spot in the PMMI rankings is not just a flash in the pan is evident from a look at recent history: Leonteq has now occupied first place for three months in a row. That means investors can expect fair, market-driven prices at all times – a decisive factor for success in derivatives trading.
