- Completely new product category listed by Raiffeisen Centrobank at Bucharest Stock Exchange
- 30 warrants on Romanian shares, international indices and commodities
- Completely new investment opportunities to Romanian investors for upside as well as downside markets
Raiffeisen Centrobank (RCB) again confirms its commitment to the Romanian market and broadens its structured products range at Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB). As of today 30 new RCB products – all of them warrants – will be listed in joint cooperation with the distribution partner Raiffeisen Bank Romania. The aim is to supply both, institutional as well as individual investors with a comprehensive investment solution for each market phase.
Opportunity for risk friendly investors
With the listing of warrants at BVB, investors will have an opportunity to invest in Romanian shares, renowned international indices or commodities like gold. “For the first time, it will be possible to invest with leverage in local underlyings, thus allowing investors to even benefit from falling or rising prices or indices. One more advantage of the newly listed warrants is that they provide for the first time hedging opportunities against falling prices of local shares”, Heike Arbter, Managing Director with RCB and Head of Structured Products, points out. All RCB warrants are offered in the local currency RON.
According to Mihai Lazar, Director, Head of Capital Markets Sales at Raiffeisen Bank Romania, also, responsible for the dissemination of structured products on the Romanian market, considers as well that these new instruments on the Romanian market offer investors for the first time trading strategies in reference to the level of risk/reward sought by each. “The launch of these instruments is part of the broader initiative of the Raiffeisen Group to help develop the Romanian capital market and to support the country in becoming an emerging market”, Lazar declared.
Secondary market provided by Raiffeisen Centrobank
As a leading market maker, RCB has a great track record in providing permanent quotations for the products it issues. Thus, warrants can be permanently traded. This service is certainly an essential asset for investors. “We see our local and sustainable presence as market maker as a service to BVB and investors. Moreover, our market maker function is an integral part of our entire product offering”, underlines Heike Arbter.
