Liquidity Provision

ISP is a trading member of the BX Swiss stock exchange. Through this membership, ISP can quote executable buy and sell prices on financial instruments to help facilitate trades. This can be done by firms known as “liquidity providers”, acting as middlemen between buyers and sellers. 

Liquidity providers manage their own risks by adjusting their quotes based on market conditions. They guarantee that there is a constant possibility to trade securities on any side of the market which helps to keep it stable & efficient.

ISP provides this liquidity provision service in partnership with BX Swiss for underlyings such as stocks, ETPs, bonds and AMCs – especially for SMEs that go public. We hold a certain maximum spread level, order book depth and liquidity level on the current bid/ask in the order book.

AMCs

Through our unique and cost-efficient AMC offering, ISP enables professional asset managers to transform investment strategies into investable products with maximum flexibility, transparency, and enhanced time and cost efficiency.

CLNs

With a CLN, investors can expand their existing universe of financial instruments and get access to a less correlated asset class – the private debt market. CLNs have numerous advantages compared to loans or bonds. ISP Group and its highly experienced teams will support you throughout the entire process, acting as Arranger, Introducer, Calculation Agent and Paying Agent.

Investment Strategies

By issuing an AMC, an asset manager can easily implement almost any sort of investment strategy, including:

  • a short US option premium strategy
  • an absolute return strategy on Swiss equities
  • a long-only ETF strategy
  • the top 10 equal-weighted cryptocurrencies
  • a short-duration fixed income portfolio
  • a diversified portfolio of structured products
     

The asset manager can use ISP's Trading & Execution services and enjoy access to selected prime brokers. ISP collaborates with a selection of brokers that are top-tier within their area of expertise. The newly created certificate can easily be distributed among qualified investors.

Trackers

We have already successfully launched numerous trackers with third-party initiators worldwide thanks to the extensive experience and know-how of our highly professional trading desk, as well as our indirect access via prime partners to scarce, hard-to-get investments. With a tracker, investors can easily gain exposure to limited-access assets, including private equity, cryptocurrencies and non-bankable funds.

Private Equity / Fund

In recent years, the private markets industry has seen exponential inflows through securitisation vehicles. Asset managers and associated parties have begun to prefer the easier access that securitised solutions can provide into otherwise hard-to-get private assets, such as Private Equity and Private Funds.

Bond Mandates

Within a bond mandate, ISP helps private companies to issue bonds. By issuing bonds via bond mandates, companies have better access to investors. ISP and our experienced teams will support you throughout the whole process.

Private Loans

In addition to private equity, private debt has attracted a lot more interest in recent years. Given the huge size of this market, opportunities for interesting projects with higher yields are almost endless. Private loans can be securitised into any type of bond, including convertibles or a CLN. This is a highly efficient way to access institutional fixed-income investors worldwide.

Equity Mandates

With equity mandates, a private company’s equity is turned into a bankable asset. This gives investors more investment incentives. ISP Group can support you throughout the whole process, from dematerialising your physical shares to listing your shares on the BX or SIX Swiss exchanges.

Real Estate

Almost all investors try to diversify their financial portfolio with rather uncorrelated returns from the real estate industry. However, direct access to this market is not easy given the substantial minimum investment fees and illiquid nature of the business. Real estate securitisation converts the asset into a tradable security on the financial markets. This is a flexible and efficient way to raise capital, to fund a real estate development project or to get a real estate portfolio off the balance sheet. Investments can thereby be channelled as equity, debt or even hybrid structures. This allows for potential fixed-income distributions, upside participation and tax efficiencies.

Digital Assets

Since the dawn of cryptocurrencies, investors worldwide have sought the best ways to access the digital market. Conventional solutions have often proven to be both cumbersome and – more importantly – unsafe. Predictably, professional asset managers are increasingly seeking solutions for diversifying their clients’ money with digital assets.  An AMC is a highly efficient way to securitise your crypto strategy into a certificate that qualified investors can buy easily and securely.
