The organisers of the Structured Products Forum and the Funds Fair have agreed to merge the two financial trade fairs. The result is the new FINANZ fair, Switzerland’s largest financial trade fair for institutional and private investors. The new trade fair format will be launched next year under the name FINANZ’15. The new trade fair will be organised by BEVAG Better Value AG.

Zurich, February 3, 2014 – SIX Structured Products Exchange and the Swiss Structured Products Association, the organisers of the Structured Products Forum, together with BEVAG Better Value AG, the organizer of the funds fair, have decided to merge the two financial trade fairs and rename it FINANZ’15. FINANZ’15 will be the largest exchange and information platform for investors in Switzerland.

For the first time the new trade fair format offers institutional and private investors the opportunity to talk to experts about a comprehensive range of modern and innovative investment products.

The Funds Fair, which opens its doors for the 16th time on February 5 and 6, 2014 at the Kongresshaus in Zurich, has attracted over 130 000 visitors since its foundation. The Structured Products Forum (formerly Structured Products Fair) has welcomed about 25 000 visitors in its six years of existence and took place most recently in autumn 2013.

«By fusing the strengths of both events, the new financial fair gains an additional dimension as a platform for the exchange of knowledge, trends and experience in the area of investment. At the same time, this merger enables us to present an even wider range of financial products and to provide real added value for visitors with this holistic approach», emphasises Gregor Johner, Partner of BEVAG Better Value AG. FINANZ’15 will take place at the Kongresshaus in Zurich on February 4 and 5, 2015.
