Opportunities presented by these products include: • Unlimited leveraged participation as long as market fluctuations are in line with the investor’s market expectations • Alternative leveraged instrument to the direct investment in the underlying asset • Strong responsiveness to market fluctuations: through the leverage effect investors may proportionally take part in the financial performance without obligation to buy the underlying asset directly Vontobel Investment Banking Bleicherweg 21 Phone number +41 (0)58 283 59 00 CH-8022 Zürich Media +41 (0)58 283 59 30 Seite 2/2 • Flexible use for traders in order to open long leveraged positions as well as portfolio hedging strategies • Enhance investor’s portfolio with tactical focus on market opportunities • Maximum loss limited to the invested capital • Medium/Long-Term investment: Covered Warrants have an average life from 3 to 24 months • Vontobel as Market Maker provides liquidity on SeDeX of Borsa Italiana from 9.05 AM to 5:30 PM Vontobel is the issuer with the widest range of Constant Leverage Certificates in Italy and also offers one of the most restrained spreads of the market.
