Why Swiss Equities?

• Swiss companies are businesses with truly global exposure, with a long history of international success, backed by Switzerland’s political, legal and cultural stability.
  
  
• Swiss stocks have a diversified revenue mix – much more geared to growth in the US and Asia than to Europe, enabling you to buy a global portfolio with exposure to higher growth regions, such as emerging markets, offering the potential of more attractive earnings growth and improving margins.
  
  
• Switzerland’s political and cultural framework is a highly supportive of business growth. The Swiss economy is one of the most stable in the world, while the hard Swiss franc effectively drives operating efficiency across businesses.
  
  
• Swiss companies provide quality growth potential, driven by the country’s focus on innovation, with many leading Swiss firms major beneficiaries of globalisation.
