By 2030, Swiss structured products firm Silex aims to make Asia its second-largest market. The company plans to double its volume relative to 2025 levels through international expansion.
Why it matters
The firm is prioritizing geographic growth to scale its assets and reach its long-term volume targets. This move follows a strategic pivot in 2024 after the sale of its bond fund business.
Silex currently manages between 5 billion and 6 billion Swiss francs in annual structured products volume. The firm maintains 26 API connections to product issuers and monitors up to 200 European and US equities.

Market Dynamics
Silex relies on its Spark platform to manage the complex reporting obligations defined by the European Union's MiFID II transparency requirements. This digital infrastructure allows the firm to scale its automated trading and reporting capabilities as it enters new global jurisdictions.
Clients of the firm may see an increase in Asian-market investment opportunities through new actively managed certificate offerings. Access to real-time reporting via the Spark platform is expected to remain a core feature of the firm's client experience during this expansion.
The takeaway
Silex is betting on sustained growth in emerging markets to offset its divestment from the bond fund sector. Investors looking for exposure to European equities managed through structured products should track the firm's planned infrastructure rollout in the Middle East and Asia.
