Participation certificates

Type of investment with a combination of share and bond-like features

These securities guarantee a share in the profit generated by the issuer, but they do not come with voting rights. For participation certificates, no general standards apply, neither stipulated by law nor by the rules of the stock exchanges themselves. Each feature can be adapted to the individual financing needs of the issuer.
