Debut of UBS Daily Leverage Certificates listed on the Singapore Exchange

Hong Kong/Singapore, 15 February 2022 – UBS today announced the inaugural launch of Daily Leverage Certificates (DLCs) on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). Trading is commencing on 10 long and short DLCs, which provide investors with seven times the daily performance of the Hang Seng Index or five times that of single stocks – namely Tencent, Alibaba, Meituan and BYD.

“At UBS, we are reimagining the power of investing by expanding our ecosystem where we see positive and sustained investment opportunities. The debut of UBS DLCs on the SGX allows us to offer even more structured product choices to investors and better match their needs,” noted Winni Cheuk, Head of Sales, Public Distribution for APAC at UBS.

DLCs are structured financial instruments that offer sophisticated investors a fixed daily leveraged exposure of up to seven times of the daily performance of an underlying asset (either market indices or single stocks). They are also flexible, allowing investors to potentially benefit from both bullish and bearish views. The exchange-traded leveraged financial instrument was first introduced in Europe, and has been introduced to Asia by the SGX. It is gaining popularity among investors.

“We spotted quite a lot of volatility in the underlying Hong Kong stock names recently, and believe now is a good time to launch DLCs. This market environment allows investors who hold either a bullish or bearish view to gain more exposure with less required capital and a fixed daily leverage,“ added Winni.

As the Top Issuer of Listed Structured Products in HK1 and having been ranked top in sales for both warrants and CBBCs in Hong Kong¹ in 2021, UBS is well positioned to be a leading issuer and to offer professional advice for sophisticated investors.

To provide investors with a better understanding on the investment opportunities of DLCs, UBS has created an easy-to-read DLC 101, a series of short videos, information about the top 5 DLCs gainers and losers, as well as hotline details in its UBS DLC website: https://dlc.ubs.com/
