Vontobel launches deritrade® SmartGuide, the world's first decision tool for buying structured products using smart- and crowd data, in Europe and Asia Pacific

 

As of today, Vontobel becomes the first bank to offer relationship managers and asset managers in Europe and Asia Pacific a customizable decision making tool to buy structured products by utilizing smart- and crowd data. With the launch of deritrade® SmartGuide, Vontobel Financial Products makes user activity and market data accessible to deritrade® users, providing unparalleled insights and a new level of transparency in the structured products market.

 

With the newly launched tool, customers can now compare products against a wider context of alternative options, which significantly increases their confidence in the decision making process. The foundation for this new service is the broad user and market activity data from Vontobel's leading multi Issuer platform, deritrade® MIP. Custom built for yield enhancement products, deritrade® MIP handles more volume than the same segment of the SIX Swiss Exchange. In essence, deritrade® SmartGuide combines the large user and market activity data with deritrade® technology and algorithms, processing it into valuable information for relationship- and asset managers.

 

Markus Pfister, Head of Engineering, responsible for technology at Vontobel Financial Products: "With deritrade® SmartGuide we combine our state-of-the-art technology with our innovation power. It’s a very challenging but also extremely interesting project. This service confirms the impressive scalability of our IT architecture."

 

Gerhard Meier, Head deritrade® MIP with responsibility for the distribution of the platform: "With deritrade® SmartGuide we offer our customers an extremely efficient tool and empower client advisors in their most important duty - finding within seconds, out of the huge universe of possibilities, the best investment product for each and every client."
