GenTwo races past the two-billion-dollar milestone in Assets Under Service

Zurich-based fintech company GenTwo has seen very strong growth momentum since its foundation. In April 2022, the threshold of two billion USD assets under service was reached. This growth reflects its diversification in the make-up of investment portfolios, and an increase in demand from institutional clients for new assets.

GenTwo 2 billion Asset under Service

Zurich-based GenTwo has been successfully gaining momentum ever since the company was founded a good four years ago, even in spite of the ongoing Covid crisis. At the end of December 2019, Assets Under Service totaled USD 300 million, and by March 2021 they had already exceeded USD one billion. In April 2022, the FinTech finally cracked the important two-billion-dollar mark, underscoring its market leadership in the field of innovative issuing solutions.

The services offered by thus successful Swiss fintech company continue to generate a high level of interest among institutional clients, since asset managers, banks, venture capital investors, and (multi-)family offices are all able to benefit from using a special issuing platform that was established especially for them. This platform allows them to bring tracker certificates, actively managed certificates (AMC), and credit-linked notes (CLN), all with a Swiss ISIN, directly to market and into their clients' conventional portfolios. Thanks to the effectiveness of these off-balance sheet platforms, virtually any asset has become investable and manageable.

The number of actual platforms that GenTwo has set up for its institutional customers is also impressive. It has risen steadily to its current stand over 200, rising by 60% over the course of the last year alone. Indeed, the company’s subsidiary GenTwo Digital, offering institutional clients the possibility of securitizing digital (Blockchain-based) assets, even posted a gain of 160% in the same period. The total number of products launched via the GenTwo emissions solution grew by 82% in 2021 (and at GenTwo Digital by 200%), to more than 650.

Philippe A. Naegeli, CEO of GenTwo, comments on this positive development: “The GenTwo ecosystem is developing without a stop. Every one of our partners (and every client) is successfully expanding their possibility of increasing efficiency and scalability, of making new assets investable, and of helping sustainably shape and change the financial market itself."
