Optimize your portfolio

Exchange-traded products or ETPs are securities where the value and price is linked to the development of an underlying stock, index, commodity or exchange rate.

An exchange-traded product (ETP) is traded as easily as a stock. They provide an opportunity to profit from price increases or price decreases in a market. It gives you exposure with built-in leverage at a moderate borrowing cost. Unlike exchange-traded funds (ETFs) exchange-traded products are issued with security in the issuer's balance sheet. This means that in addition to market risk, the investor also bears an counterparty risk to the issuer.

The risk in an ETP is generally high. You should familiarize yourself well with what it is before you invest.

We offer a number of ETPs that are listed on the Nordic MTF Finland Stock Exchange. These are bought and sold in the same way as a share in our stock trading. You can buy the products at the current market price during the exchange's opening hours 09:00-23:00 (EEST).

Leverage means borrowing. If you buy a product with a leverage x2, you can borrow the corresponding amount for which you invest. It doubles your chances of winning, and it doubles possible losses.

Example:

If, for example, you have a leverage factor of 2 (= 200%), you will be able to gain a profit for every hundred kroner invested as if you had invested two hundred kroner. But if the market falls, you also get double losses.

The leverage factor is usually set on a daily basis. It is important to be aware, because it means that the return over time can deviate significantly from the leverage factor multiplied by the underlying return.

Daily adjustment of the exposure is necessary to maintain a fixed daily leverage factor.

NOTE! The risk of leverage is very high. You need to be prepared to lose all your invested money.

Several of the ETPs will contain derivative elements and many have built-in leverage, both of which offer high market risk. For the investor, this means for example that the prices of Bull & Bear certificates will be able to fluctuate more than underlying assets, such as a stock. The instruments thus also have a greater risk of loss than an investment directly in the underlying reference. In addition, these leveraged products are rebalanced daily, which means that the return for long periods will deviate from market developments. The return can thus be negative even if the underlying has the same value at the time of purchase and sale. These properties make the Bull & Bear certificates unsuitable as a long-term investment alternatives.
