Credit Suisse has expanded its existing Swiss Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) range, known as Credit Suisse Xmtch, with the launch of 16 new funds on a variety of global equity and bond indices.

With this introduction of 16 new ETFs, Credit Suisse is diversifying its range to include investment options such as a full suite of portfolio building blocks offering government bond exposure over a range of maturities and with regional focus in Europe and the US.

Oliver Schupp, Managing Director at Credit Suisse and Head of Beta Strategies said: “The challenging market conditions coupled with an investor base that is looking for transparency and flexibility means that we are seeing rising demand for ETF products.”

Daniel Brupbacher, Head of Asset Management Switzerland, said: “The launch of the new fund range ties into the Bank’s strategy of growing our ETF platform and supports our goal of bringing the best products to Credit Suisse’s institutional and private clients across the globe.”
