The ZKB-Tracker-Certificates of the seven SPI Single Premia Indices offer a factor based asset of your choice. 

Academic research has identified new sources of return, so-called factors, which can increase the performance characteristics of the portfolio. The reference indices with factor weighting implement these scientific insights by making use of the return drivers in a systematic way.

Academic research has indentified numerous factor premia that enable the realization of excess returns in the long run. However, an investment in single return sources is subject to the danger of long underperformance phases. Systematic diversification accross several return sources provides a remedy.

The Finreon Multi Premia^® approach combines the risk reduction of a minimum variance portfolio with the return optimization through systematic factor exposures. The solution offers investors an alternative to traditional stock investments with likely higher risks and bonds that barely yield any return in the current low interest rate environment.

The new investment solution offers an innovative approach for tackling the challenges of the current market environment in a balanced portfolio. 

With Finreon Fixed Income Risk Control®, Finreon offers a simple and complete solution which systematically manages and hedges the interest rate and credit risks, while not renouncing the capability of bond investments in the long term.
