About GenTwo
Zurich-based innovative securitization specialist GenTwo has created a new generation of financial products. The company builds securitization platforms for its institutional clientele and enables professional investors to securitize not only bankable but also non-bankable assets with a Swiss ISIN. The focus on so-called off-balance-sheet investment products solves the problem of declining margins and growth barriers for many financial market players. It opens up new performance potential by creating access to a theoretically unlimited world of asset classes. Financial intermediaries, including banks, can use GENTWO’s setup to realize their own product and business innovations.
The now three-year-old FinTech company GenTwo, which creates off-balance sheet securitization platforms for its institutional clientele, can already look back on a brilliant success story. Since it was founded in February 2018, this market leader in the securitization segment has generated disproportionately high growth in terms of several key indicators – the number of clients, size of the staff, securitization platforms launched, and particularly assets under administration, which amount to one billion Swiss francs. After completing successful financing round in 2020, this industry leader now aims to continue on its positive growth path.
