Leonteq and Saxo Bank partner to expand structured product offerings
Leonteq Securities AG (Leonteq) and Saxo Bank A/S (Saxo) have announced a strategic partnership aimed at revolutionizing the production and distribution of structured products. This collaboration will leverage the strengths of both companies to create a more comprehensive and accessible range of investment solutions for their global client bases.
Under the new agreement, Saxo Bank will become a sponsor within the standardized "white-labeling" issuance model developed by Leonteq. This model will allow Saxo to distribute guaranteed structured products to its extensive client base through its award-winning digital trading platforms, which are widely known for their intuitive design and user-friendly features. The first Saxo-branded structured products are expected to be launched on the Leonteq platform in 2025, pending regulatory approvals.
Additionally, Leonteq has secured an international distribution mandate from Saxo Bank, granting it access to Saxo's extensive global distribution network. This move will significantly expand Leonteq's reach and enhance its ability to offer innovative financial products to a broader audience. As part of the partnership, Saxo will be added to Leonteq’s network of brokers, allowing Leonteq to leverage Saxo’s advanced trading capabilities for more efficient access to capital markets. Furthermore, Saxo’s guaranteed structured products will be integrated into LYNQS, Leonteq’s digital investment platform, further enriching the product offerings available to investors.
Lukas Ruflin, CEO of Leonteq, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "We are excited to collaborate with Saxo Bank, a leader in digital trading platforms. The combined expertise and services of Leonteq and Saxo Bank will accelerate the development of cutting-edge investment platforms, benefiting both our clients and the broader market."
Kim Fournais, CEO of Saxo Bank A/S, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the mutual benefits of the collaboration. "Partnering with Leonteq marks a significant step for Saxo Bank in expanding our structured investment product offerings, especially for our rapidly growing Swiss client base. This collaboration is truly a win-win. Our clients will gain access to a broader product universe, enhancing their investment choices and access to global markets, while Leonteq will benefit from our cutting-edge technology and robust trading infrastructure."
