Innovative access to the fabric of Geneva's booming economy
The Geneva Economy Quintessence Tracker Certificate is part of a medium- to long-term investment strategy in keeping with the SIEBK Group's investment philosophy and designed to capitalise on the real economy.
Investments are in shares of leading companies implanted in Geneva's economic fabric, which is both competitive and selective. These filters were used to select Swiss and international companies that are either large or leading companies in their field.
Switzerland and globally
Geneva, a quintessential international city, is home to multinational companies and high-quality Swiss companies. The Certificate reflects Geneva's international economic fabric.
Actively managed by the SIEBK
The securities are selected and monitored by SIEBK Asset Management's team of specialists in Geneva.
This investment represents a competitive World Equity type investment profile, reflecting Geneva's economy.
Universe of eligible securities
The Geneva Economy Quintessence Tracker Certificate only contains shares traded on the Swiss stock exchange or on other international stock exchanges. These are listed companies based in the canton of Geneva (headquarters, branches or subsidiaries) which largely represent the major employers in this geographic area and the companies that play a key role in Geneva's economy.
The minimum market capitalisation of each company is set at CHF 500 million.
Significant geo-sectoral diversification
The proportion of Swiss equities is close to 50%. The Certificate is currently exposed to other currencies.
It is well diversified on an international level.
The Certificate is managed with a sectoral allocation that is close to equal weighting to avoid excessive concentration typical of local or regional economies with centres of excellence.
Good liquidity
The shares selected are, for the most part, large market capitalisations: the basket at launch represents more than CHF 1'000 billion in valuation. However, the basket contains a limited number of less liquid securities, the weight of which is capped to ensure optimal liquidity overall.

Risk tolerance
The risks are similar to a direct investment in the underlying securities (evolution of the share price, product holding period, price volatility etc.), i.e. the risk is that of a global equities basket.
The risks associated with certain investments, particularly derivatives, are not suitable for all investors. Investors are invited to conduct a specific review of their risk profile and ask their adviser
about the inherent risks, in particular by consulting the SwissBanking brochure � Special Risks in Securities Trading � prior to any transaction.
Issuer's risk: the investor is exposed to the risk of the issuer's insolvency, which may result in the partial or total loss of the invested capital. The preservation of the value of the investment
instrument depends not only on the evolution of the underlying(s) but also on the solvency of the issuer, which may change during the life of the structured product. The rating of the issuer indicated is in accordance with the situation at the time of issue and may change during the life of the product.
