Leonteq
Leonteq, a structured products and insurance products firm, has launched leverage products on BX Swiss, a stock exchange in Zurich, which is part of the Boerse Stuttgart Group.

The move secures Leonteq’s position among major issuers of exchange-traded leverage products in Switzerland, the business said in a statement late last week. (Leveraged products are financial instruments that enable traders to gain greater exposure to the market without increasing their capital investment.)

After it acquired a 10 per cent equity stake in BX Swiss in December 2023, Leonteq became the exclusive market maker for equities and exchange-traded funds on the exchange as of April 2024. 

One year later, Leonteq expanded its footprint in the Swiss market by launching its listed leverage products business, focusing on retail investors. Leonteq is now the exclusive market maker for all exchange-traded products listed on BX Swiss.

The firm has listed about 5,000 leverage products on BX Swiss, primarily focusing on warrants. In parallel, Leonteq has rapidly expanded its SIX Swiss Exchange offering to around 5,000 listed leverage products since launching the business in April 2025. This brings the total to approximately 10,000 leverage products across both exchanges.

"Launching leverage products on BX Swiss is a key milestone that strengthens our position among Switzerland’s top issuers,” Manuel Dürr, head of sales for Switzerland at Leonteq, said. 

BX Swiss offers investors access to financial products such as equities from more than 30 markets in Swiss francs, actively managed certificates (AMCs), exchange-traded funds, exchange-traded products on various cryptocurrencies, bonds, funds, and structured products (deriBX).
