bespoke solutions

We support our clients in the process of creating investment solutions by providing an open architecture platform with access to multiple investment banks, strong pricing power, independent advice, and veteran expertise in the industry from a committed senior staff.

We give you access to a very diversified range of 35 issuers; all product categories – capital protection, credit, yield enhancement, participation, leverage; all asset classes – equities, bonds, commodities, forex, fixed income, interest rates, ETFs, funds, alternative investments, private equity, real estate.

We systematically pre-select our issuing partners prior to each request according to their competitive advantages in relation to the targeted investment (funding, asset class, maturity, secondary market, etc.), and maintain a high trade/request ratio with each of them, in order to benefit from the best services and pricing in the market

Solid expertise
in structured products

We build bespoke investment products that meet your specifications in terms of amount, investment horizon, price or performance objective.

Thanks to the know-how and experience of our team, combined with the group’s capabilities and business volumes, we are able to optimise structures to meet your exact needs, while avoiding the known pitfalls associated with some structured products (limited liquidity, lack of sensitivity in the secondary market, etc.).

We offer several types of structured product solutions, depending on the investment objectives and the level of risk tolerated, including capital protected solutions, yield products, participation and leverage products.

At Sesame Financial Group, our strongest achievement is the emergence of a “win-win” environment for all the parties involved.

Thanks to our years of experience and existing business flow, we have a strong pricing power that we share with our clients.

Upstream, we short-list our issuing partners depending on the product's specifications: asset class, maturity, and overall payoff. Our diversified business flow allows us to get an excellent trade-to-request ratio with all of our issuing partners, who provides us with excellent reactivity and low issue costs in return.
Our low and transparent cost-structure along with our strong existing relationships allow us to offer you a unique service made of pricing aggressiveness, reactivity and special attention to your needs.

We work together in order to design an intelligent and optimized investment solution which is perfectly tailored to your risk profile and market expectations.

You are involved in the entire process and make the final decision, as we remain by your side as an independent partner.

Then, we handle the complete launch process for your customized product and monitor it closely during all its lifetime. We will also be committed to offer you an outstanding analytical service on secondary market transactions and to challenge valuations that we deem uncorrect.

We want our clients to benefit from our highly valuable established connections.

When we design a new structured product, we have several competitive advantages you can benefit from:

We have direct links with structurers and traders at various issuers, that we can engage without intermediary when we need to solve an issue or benefit from improved conditions: those precious connections can only be acquired through years of experience and networking in the investment banking industry.
We take advantage from information of the OTC market, such as the funding curves of several issuers, to optimize the parameters of your investment such as maturity, call period, coupon payment…
Our high average daily volume of structured products allows us to benefit from improved access, such as lowered minimum investment sizes or improved payoff conditions.

Issue of new products

We issue new products starting from 50,000 CHF equivalent. We quote on:
- All asset classes: equities, fixed income, credit derivatives, FX, commodities, indices, ETFs, …
- All structures: (auto)callables, reverse convertibles, CLNs, leveraged or delta1 trackers, capital guaranteed products, ...
- All markets worldwide
Secondary Market opportunities

Our database automatically monitors our outstanding positions and detect entry points on overdiscounted products. We send reports on those opportunities, available without any minimum investment size, to all our partners on a regular basis.

our key success factors

Responsiveness

Our expertise allows us to quickly transform an idea into an investment product of the highest quality and to launch it with the best market timing.

These reactive investments are based on macro trends or technical factors (CDS/Cash base, strong buy/sell pressure on certain assets, etc.).

We adapt our weekly offers to current market conditions (implied volatility, yields and funding curves, correlation, etc.) so that our clients are able to invest in optimised products at the right time.

Competitiveness

Our relationships with 35 issuers as well as our business volumes mean that we can very quickly obtain the best price conditions for you.

Sesame’s contacts have years of experience in the investment banking industry (UBS, Societe Generale, Goldman Sachs, Leonteq, Exane, BNP Paribas, Natixis, Morgan Stanley, etc.), thanks to which we are able to obtain the most competitive conditions for our clients.

Quality of service

Our flexible platform, along with our strong existing relationships, allows us to offer you a unique service made up of price aggressiveness, reactivity and particular attention to your needs.

We offer you an access to Open, our online platform with its powerful suite of tools, but will always be at your side as the human expertise remains the core of our vision.

Creativity

Thanks to our expertise in quantitative research and our knowledge of the market, we are able to provide our clients with innovative ideas adapted to specific market conditions in order to match their requirements.

We will always work hard to come up with solutions, simple or complex, to match our clients requirements, within a cross-asset universe where we are excelling.
