Capital protection products are ideal for conservative investors with a long‑term horizon. They offer a minimum amount of repayment guarantee (usually 100%) combined with a potential for higher returns than savings. Payment is typically at maturity, after a term of one or more years.

Participation products simply track the performance of underlying assets, without leverage. Swissquote offers notably thematic baskets with multiple underlyings, focused on specific trends or industries – a convenient way to diversify your portfolio and find innovative investment ideas.

Yield enhancement products are suitable for investors with a moderate to high risk tolerance, who wish to get more out of their investment portfolio, particularly when markets are trending sideways. They often also provide downside protection, like Swissquote’s Barrier Reverse Convertibles.


Leveraged products are all about generating big profits from a relatively small investment, at the cost of higher risk. If you’re a seasoned investor with a high risk tolerance, you’re in luck: our exclusive Swiss DOTS platform is the leading OTC marketplace for leveraged products.
