Vontobel Holding AG : Vontobel Financial Products appoints Fredy R. Flury as Head Financial Products Singapore

In a move aimed at further bolstering its market development efforts in Singapore, Vontobel has appointed Fredy R. Flury as Head Financial Products Singapore as of 1 December 2013, and thus also as CEO of Vontobel Financial Products (Asia Pacific) Pte. Ltd. With this expansion in capacity, Vontobel is taking into account the recent business successes at this location, while at the same time underscoring the importance of its internationalisation strategy in the Asia/Pacific region.

Vontobel is a leading Swiss issuer of structured products, and is enjoying great success both in Switzerland and Germany. Vontobel's multi-issuer platform deritrade® is rapidly becoming established in the market, impressively confirming Vontobel's leading role in the platform business for structured products. More than 4,000 users worldwide - with assets under management totalling in excess of CHF 1,000 billion - take advantage of the innovative multiissuer platform to add value for their clients. Vontobel Financial Products has had an office in Singapore since 2012, handling market development in the Asia/Pacific region. The appointment of Fredy R. Flury as Head Financial Products Singapore comes against the backdrop of the recent business successes there, and also underscores the importance of Vontobel's internationalisation strategy in the structured products business in the Asia/Pacific region. Roger Studer, Head of Investment Banking at Vontobel, said: "With Fredy R. Flury, we will be able to step up our regional activities from Singapore. This will include both the systematic distribution of structured products and the ongoing marketing of our innovative multi-issuer platform deritrade®. In both these tasks, Fredy R. Flury will be supported by an excellent team in Singapore."
