Zürich – Maverix Securities AG has expanded its international presence with the opening of a new office in
Paris, establishing Maverix Securities (Europe) SA as its strategic hub for the European Union.


The new office, located in Avenue Kléber in the 8th arrondissement, positions Maverix in the heart of the
French financial community and underlines the firm’s long-term commitment to the local market.
The Paris office follows recent strategic moves, including a new presence in Lugano and a partnership in
Singapore. Its entry into France comes at a time when the domestic market for structured products has
doubled since 2021, now reaching EUR 40 billion in annual volume.


“Paris is not just an entry point — it is a priority market,” says David Schmid, Co-CEO of Maverix. “France
offers deep expertise in derivatives, a strong regulatory environment, and one of Europe’s most sophisticated
investor bases. We are here to contribute long term, with products and services that match the local context.”
The new entity also lays the groundwork for further expansion across the European Union. With the regulatory
foundation in place, Maverix is well-positioned to enter additional MiFID markets in the future. The goal is to
replicate its proven Swiss model — combining flexible structuring, scalable technology, and direct client
access — in selected EU countries with strong demand for transparent and tailored investment solutions.
 

Fully Licensed Issuer for Tailor-Made Solutions

Maverix Securities (Europe) SA (CIB 18583) has obtained a PSI (Prestataire de Services d’Investissement)
license from the AMF (Autorité des Marchés Financiers) and the ACPR (Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de
Résolution). This authorisation allows the firm to provide investment advice, receive and transmit client orders
(RTO) and conduct non-guaranteed placement. This status as a fully licensed investment firm enables
Maverix to engage with clients, ensuring clarity, speed, and alignment with MiFID II requirements.


Tailored Solutions for the French Market
Maverix enters France with a clearly defined product offering that reflects the specific needs and preferences
of the local market. This will include structured notes compatible with “Assurance-Vie” life insurance wrappers,
thematic investment solutions such as ESG-linked structures, as well as strategies tied to French and regional
indices. All products are developed in line with French regulatory requirements and are tailored for distribution
through established local channels.


The Paris office is currently staffed by three experienced professionals, with further expansion already
planned. The team will work closely with two key client segments: distribution partners such as CGPs
(conseillers en gestion de patrimoine) and private banks, who are increasingly looking for customised
alternatives to standardised yield products; and institutional clients including asset managers and insurance companies, who benefit from bespoke multi-issuer structuring and direct access to Maverix’s in-house
expertise.


A key differentiator lies in Maverix’s technology-driven model: through its state-of-the-art issuance platform for
AMCs, CPNs, Warrants, Mini-Futures and other payoffs, advanced lifecycle management tools and the
proprietary Multi Issuer Platform, clients benefit from greater transparency, efficiency, and control throughout
the entire product lifecycle — from idea generation to maturity.


“Our goal is to offer clients in the MiFID area a smarter way to access structured solutions — combining Swiss
precision, local relevance, and institutional quality,” says Giuliano Glocker, Co-CEO of Maverix.
