4,000 professional investors use deritrade®, bringing together CHF 1,000 billion in assets under management on Vontobel’s multi-issuer platform for structured products.

Vontobel’s leading multi-issuer platform deritrade® is quickly becoming established, with some 4,000 professional investors in Europe and Asia now using it to design tailor-made structured products. The platform thus brings together assets under management totalling more than CHF 1,000 billion. The number of third-party issuers joining up is also steadily increasing, thus markedly bolstering both the value added for clients and the acceptance of the platform.

Vontobel’s fully automated issuing platform deritrade® is enjoying rapid expansion and is steadily being developed further. It has now established itself as the leading multi-issuer platform, and has become a promising distribution alternative for third-party issuers. The major French bank Société Générale joined the platform as a third-party issuer at the beginning of 2013, and a further renowned provider of structured products has now been integrated with the addition of Morgan Stanley.

deritrade® has around 4,000 users in Europe and Asia, and they can thus now use the platform to design and issue tailor-made investment products for their clients from a total of three issuers, Vontobel included – in real time and via a single online portal. Markus Pfister, Head of Engineering & Development at Vontobel Financial Products, said: “The combination of tailor-made investment products, the possibility of comparing prices, and broad diversification of borrowers adds value not just for the end-clients but also for deritrade® users, in that they also profit from standardised and efficient processes.”
