Since their introduction, Actively Managed Certificates (AMCs) have become a significant component of the European financial market. As a structured product, legally classified as debt securities, they hold a counterparty risk for the investor that is comparable with other structured financial products. AMCs are securitised, which gives the holder the right to cash repayment or the delivery of an underlying asset. As the buyer, the investor becomes a creditor of the issuer and thus dependent in terms of the type and amount of repayment, which is subject to different parameters.

Bank Frick generated a net profit of CHF 7.2 million in the first half of 2023 and thus built on the success of the prior financial year.

We therefore anticipate an annual profit in the region of CHF 13 million for 2023.
SEC pushes back against Coinbase's claim of no regulatory jurisdiction, stating the crypto exchange knowingly violated securities laws. Meanwhile, Gemini, owned by the Winklevoss twins, files a lawsuit against Digital Currency Group and CEO Barry Silbert alleging fraud and deception following the collapse of a lending venture.

Founded in 1998 by Kuno Frick, Bank Frick continues to be a family-run business. With the Frick family as the owners, the responsibilities are clear. This also guarantees the prudent further development of the institute.
We were the first bank in Europe to enable the trading and secure custody of crypto assets in the regulated environment. Every day, we think about which innovations we could provide to take you further: loan securitisations on the blockchain, tokenised funds or block orders in online banking.
When it comes to assets, stability and security are what counts. These are offered by Bank Frick as well as by our homeland: Liechtenstein sets itself apart through its solid surpluses, the strong Swiss franc as the national currency and its political stability.
