cosmofunding is the digital execution only platform for institutional and certain professional customers that opens up and makes the finance and capital market accessible to new investors and entities seeking capital. More participants involved in a market generally increases competition, while digitisation results in better transparency and simplified processes.
cosmofunding is part of the Swiss bank Vontobel AG, established in 1924, with many years of experience in fixed income business.
cosmofunding provides you with access to the Swiss financing market, and the expertise of Vontobel. Digital, anywhere, and in one location. Issuers benefit from access to a broad range of investors, standardized documentation, and automated banking processes. Investors receive anonymous access to investment opportunities. The FINMA recognized credit rating can provide investors a relevant starting point to assess the credit-worthiness of issuers and support an investment decision. Securitisation (depositable securities) ensures simplified handling and transferability for all parties involved.
cosmofounding acts as an intermediary between funders and issuers. In securitized transactions, which make up the majority of cases, cosmofounding handles the issuing process (securitisation), transfer, and paying agent function, including associated documentation and contracts.
Only the funder (e.g., the investor) bears the credit risk, through acquiring the security or signing a loan. The investor is compensated via the so-called credit spread with a markup on the risk-free interest rate for bearing the risk.
There is no obligation for issuers to carry out transactions that are advertized through the platform. Investors, for their part, provide binding offers. This means that, once the investor provides a quote, they enter into an obligation to provide the financing or underwrite the security, if their quote is accepted by the issuer. The issuer, therefore, receives a binding offer and can decide to accept or reject the offer before the end of their selected process.
Yes, but only for issuers, and only if the issuer accepts financing. The process surrounding fees is fully transparent, right from the start. No fees are charged to investors.
fedafin is an FINMA recognized rating agency that is independent from the bank Vontobel AG. Investors decide based on the rating and other information whether, and at what conditions (risk premium) they will make an offer. Often, a rating is required for a transaction.
No, yo do not need to have an account with Vontobel. cosmofunding is part of Vontobel, but does not directly offer account management in the name of cosmofunding.
The platform itself can be used free of charge. Make an appointment for a demo using the contact form, or by phone. We would be glad to tell you more about our services and the fee model, show you the platform, and start the onboarding process if you are interested.
