Our sales partners will find everything their customers need for securities subscriptions here.

How do you invest?

Institutional investors who are investing in our investment groups for the first time start by signing a written declaration of membership. In this declaration, they confirm that they meet the statutory joining requirements of the Swisscanto Investment Foundation and/or the Swisscanto Investment Foundation Avant and that they acknowledge the corresponding regulations. Each new investor then completes the master data sheet required for processing and for creating an investor number as, for a securities subscription, investors join the Swisscanto Investment Foundation and/or the Swisscanto Investment Foundation Avant directly.

Information relevant to your customers

Purchase & sale of securities

Securities are purchased and sold by means of subscription certificates or written notices. Securities are generally issued daily at the respective issue price (with the exception of the AST Hypotheken Schweiz investment group). The issue price is the price at which investors are able to purchase securities. It is generally equivalent to the net asset value.
Securities are generally redeemed daily by the investment foundation at the respective redemption price (exceptions: AST Immobilien Schweiz and AST Hypotheken Schweiz). The redemption price is the price at which investors can return securities to the investment foundation. It is generally equivalent to the net asset value.
Subscription requests and return notifications can be submitted to the investment foundation at the respective cut-off times (12:00 / 12:30 / 14:00) depending on the investment group. Notifications received after the cut-off time are automatically processed on the next issue or redemption date.

Net asset value

The net asset value (NAV) of an investment group is a result of the market value of the assets and the remaining assets (namely the income and interest accrued) less the liabilities.

Investor statements

As soon as the issue or redemption price is known, the investor receives a statement regarding the order giving the relevant details. In return, the investor agrees to transfer the equivalent value to the designated account as per the value date.

Settlement date

The value dates for all investment groups are within three to five working days. For more details, please contact the
administration of the Swisscanto Investment Foundations.
The calculation of the value date is based on the valuation date and not the date the order is placed.

All-in fee (AIF)

The all-in fee is used for management, asset management and the sale of the investment fund, where compensated, as well as for compensation of the custodian bank for services it provides.
