PRESS RELEASE | LEONTEQ LAUNCHES COOPERATION WITH SAXO BANK
Zurich, 03 September 2024
Leonteq announced today that it has initiated a new cooperation with Saxo Bank A/S for the manufacturing and distribution of structured products. Leonteq Securities AG (Leonteq) and Saxo Bank A/S (Saxo) have launched a cooperation for the manufacturing and distribution of structured products. As part of this cooperation, Saxo will become a sponsor under a standardised white-labelling issuance model established by Leonteq and will be responsible for the distribution of Saxo guaranteed structured products to its large client base via its award-wining, intuitive platforms for investors and traders. At the same time, Leonteq has received an international distribution mandate from Saxo providing it access to Leonteq’s broad global distribution network. The first Saxo guaranteed structured products are expected to be available on Leonteq’s platform in the course of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals. In addition, Leonteq will add Saxo to its network of execution brokers and leverage on their extensive trading capabilities to access capital markets in a cost-efficient manner. Leonteq also intends to add Saxo guaranteed structured products on LYNQS, Leonteq’s digital investing platform. Lukas Ruflin, CEO of Leonteq, stated: “We are pleased to partner with Saxo Bank with its leading digital trading platform. The broad range of services and expertise of Leonteq and the extensive trading capabilities of Saxo bank will enrich and accelerate the state-of-the-art investment platforms of both partners.“ Kim Fournais, CEO of Saxo Bank A/S stated: "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. Saxo’s clients will benefit from an even bigger product universe that further enhances their investment choices and access to global markets, while Leonteq will leverage our cutting-edge technology and robust infrastructure for trading and hedging activities."
