More than 100 client banks choose Vontobel for securities business

Vontobel offers a cutting-edge infrastructure for global securities trading and custody, developed and operated entirely in Switzerland. Cantonal banks, Swiss regional and private banks as well as international brokers benefit from the regional roots in the Swiss market and the technological competence for international market access. Growing demand for Vontobel's security services resulted in a 70% increase in the overall trading volume between 2013 and 2017, while the Swiss stock exchange reported growth of 34% over the same period. Matthias Schiesser, Head of Sales & Account Management: "We are delighted with this great response and see our strategy of further expanding our range of services through innovation, reliability and competitive pricing confirmed. With our clear commitment to Switzerland as a production location and to the Swiss financial market infrastructure, we are setting ourselves apart and are clearly hitting the nerve of the local financial market."

Thanks to European market liberalization, large-cap stocks are now traded on more than 40 stock exchanges and other trading venues. The average market share of the home exchanges in Europe is well below 50%. In this fragmented environment, guaranteeing clients the highest possible standard of service, unrestricted access to liquidity and best execution requires efficient infrastructure, specialized staff and professional processes. Banks can add value by investing in their core competencies and buying in commoditized services from specialist providers. This enables significantly more attractive conditions than a direct investment with the resulting operating costs.
