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.

What is a Tracker?
What is a Tracker?

A tracker is a vehicle for securitising and replicating the performance of an underlying. Typically, the underlying is a single asset, but could also be a static basket of underlyings. The tracker invests in the underlying asset according to a pre-defined, rule-based method. The tracker is issued with a CH-ISIN in the Swiss clearing system as a tradable security.

With a tracker, investors can easily gain exposure to limited-access assets, including private equity, cryptocurrencies and non-bankable funds.

Over the past decade, there has been a huge surge in demand for trackers among professional asset managers.

Advantages of Trackers

The idea behind a tracker is to pool investor money for a specific investment objective. On closer examination, trackers offer many advantages that explain their popularity in recent times, such as:

  • Makes it easier for investors to gain exposure to hard-to-access funds.
  • Getting access to deals that otherwise are impossible or hard to invest in, such as Pre-IPO or other private market deals.
  • A tracker brings together all investors into one single product, which simplifies and streamlines the investment process in the underlying asset.
  • While you are unlikely to be able to custodise tracked underlyings such as private instruments at your custodian bank, a corresponding tracker with a Swiss ISIN can be custodised without issue.

How to Invest in a Tracker

Buying a tracker is as easy as buying a stock or a bond. Investors can simply place the buy order with their custodian bank using the trackers’s unique ISIN code. The respective bank then trades with the Paying Agent directly or uses a bridge partner if no direct trading line exists. Learn more about our Paying Agent Services.
