(Alliance News) - UniCredit Spa announced on Friday the launch of a new actively managed open-end thematic certificate based on Bitcoin and Ethereum, exclusively targeting professional clients in Italy and Germany.
The product, developed in collaboration with Banor Labs, aims to provide diversification from traditional asset classes through a non-directional strategy designed to maintain low volatility and capture opportunities arising from market dislocations.
The strategy is based on systematic models developed by Banor Labs, Banor's technological hub specializing in quantitative strategies for digital assets and blockchain-based solutions.
UniCredit explained that the certificate expands its range of instruments dedicated to sophisticated investors, allowing access to non-traditional asset classes through structured solutions.
According to Alvise Saccomani, Managing Director of Banor Labs, the product combines the advantages of a regulated structure and institutional custody with a market-neutral strategy on digital assets, aiming to offer returns less correlated to cryptocurrency trends and making typical crypto market opportunities accessible to traditional finance channels.
The placement is running from May 15 to June 15, and the product will subsequently be tradable on the secondary market from June 16.
The minimum required investment is EUR100,000.
UniCredit shares are up 0.8% at EUR73.50.
