2018 Winners
Best Structured Product Provider to
Independent Asset Managers
LEONTEQ
We have dedicated teams in Hong Kong and Singapore focusing exclusively on independent asset managers which is a unique setup in Asia. This allows us to deliver tailor-made solutions to our clients.
We are taking targeted steps to grow our business through additional investments in innovation and technology in order to increase our market share in Asia. To enable further scalability of our business, Leonteq has initiated the SHIP – Smart Hedging and Issuance Platform – project to connect our issuance partners with hedging partners, which is expected to improve option pricing for our clients.
In addition, the firm saw increased demand for more bespoke and leveraged solutions that support IAMs in efficiently implementing strategies and managing client assets.
