PRESS RELEASE | LEONTEQ LAUNCHES COOPERATION WITH BERGOS

Zurich, 17 October 2024

Leonteq announced today that it has entered into a new cooperation with Zurich-based private bank Bergos for the manufacturing and distribution of structured investment products.

Leonteq Securities AG (Leonteq) and Bergos AG (Bergos) have launched a cooperation for the manufacturing and distribution of structured products under a standardised white-labelling issuance model established by Leonteq. As part of this cooperation, Bergos will utilise Leonteq’s technology platform to price and trade Bergos guaranteed structured products.

While Bergos’ clients can now directly benefit from this extension of the private bank’s offering of structured investment products, Leonteq has received a distribution mandate from Bergos providing it access to Leonteq’s broad network of investors in Switzerland. The first Bergos guaranteed structured products are expected to be available on Leonteq’s platform in the second half of 2024, subject to regulatory approvals. 

Alessandro Ricci, Head Investment Solutions at Leonteq, stated: “We are pleased to welcome Bergos to our service technology platform and expand our ecosystem with a reputed Swiss private bank. Thanks to our innovative white-labelling model, we enable Bergos in offering own tailor-made structured products in a fast and cost-efficient manner.”

Dr. Peter Raskin, CEO and Partner of Bergos, said: “Adapting and broadening our offering to best fit our client’s needs is at the forefront of our efforts. We are pleased about this new partnership with Leonteq as it allows us to leverage their expertise in trading complex option strategies, while we remain dedicated to our core mission of delivering personalized advice to our clients and being a trusted partner, offering stability of a private bank without significant loan exposure.”

Bergos AG is an independent Swiss private bank focusing on private wealth management. Bergos emerged in 2021 with a new shareholder base from its former mother company, the Berenberg Group founded in 1590, and has been serving international private clients and entrepreneurs in the Swiss financial center for over thirty years.
