Leverage Sharesthe pioneer of Short & Leveraged single stock ETPs, has further expanded its range of ETP white label with the launch of the Buffettique Growth Strategy ETP, an investment strategy that reflects Warren Buffett’s investment style.
This is the third product developed by Leverage Shares as part of its service “ETP as a service”, thanks to which it offers institutional investors (for example small and medium asset managers) the possibility to internationalize their strategies by building a white label ETP for them.
In this way, Leverage Shares offers asset managers not yet present in Europe the possibility of accessing this area, but also European asset managers to make their strategies available quickly and cheaply in other countries of the Old Continent.
Leverage Shares is therefore aimed at all players who want to create and manage a product of this type, accompanying them in the transformation of their strategy into an ETP with significant savings in terms of costs and time (about three months to create and launch the product, compared to 1-2 years usually required to carry out the process in-house), an opportunity in particular for small and medium-sized asset managers who do not have the necessary internal expertise.
But that’s not all, Leverage Shares also deals with the listing of the strategy, thus making it accessible to all types of investors, and with its management over time.
