The integration of these diverse elements underlines Vontobel's position as a reliable partner for bond investments with a focus on the Swiss franc.

Private and Public Debt Capital Market

We offer a wide range of investment and financing options via private placements and public bonds.

Public bonds

Public bonds are widely issued on the capital market.
They are accessible to a large number of investors, including retail investors, are listed on the SIX and are subject to the prospectus requirement.

Private placements

In addition to public bonds, a large part of the money and capital market is placed privately. This means that these transactions or investment opportunities are not directly accessible.
Private placements can be used to respond quickly and flexibly to capital requirements.
The transactions are concluded both as a cash alternative on the money market (2 weeks to 12 months) and on the capital market (> 1 year).
Treasurers can act as lenders or borrowers and thus react to the seasonal nature of operational liquidity requirements.
Investors gain access to interesting investments and can thus cover their individual needs.
