SIX has welcomed the Swiss Life Funds (CH) Money Market Swiss Francs as its newest member on the CO:RE repo market.
Markus Weiss, portfolio manager of Swiss Life Funds (CH) Money Market Swiss Francs at Swiss Life Asset Managers, says being active on the SIX Repo CO:RE platform enables the fund to 鈥渟et new standards in liquidity management鈥�.
He continues: 鈥淭he access enables us to manage cash flows flexibly. Especially in periods of market stress, when liquidity becomes scarce, we can still meet withdrawals 鈥� without diluting performance for the remaining fund investors.鈥�
As the first money market fund to be active on the SIX Repo CO:RE, the move will allow theSwiss Life fund to invest on a short-term basis through reverse repos.
Regarding outflows, the firm uses straight repos for financing 鈥� without having to sell securities on the market, therefore avoiding transaction costs and protecting fund performance, bringing trust and stability.
This is especially important during extreme market dislocations, the firm says, when wide bid/ask spreads or even liquidity bottlenecks occur.
Additionally, the SIX Repo market offers a counterparty network of over 160 banks and insurance companies, which strengthens its independence.
Weiss states: 鈥淪ettlement via SIX triparty agent is highly automated and offers the highest operational security 鈥� a decisive advantage in the money market.鈥�
Reverse repos are a low-risk, short-term investment option with attractive interest rates, he adds, which are 鈥渂etter in the current market environment than classic overnight deposits at banks鈥�.
