Switzerland Equity

Switzerland equity mutual funds and ETFs own securities listed on the Swiss... Switzerland equity mutual funds and ETFs own securities listed on the Swiss Stock Exchange. The most well-known benchmark on the market is the CH20, which is a market-capitalization-weighted index of the largest 20 stocks on the exchange. The exchange has large weightings in consumer staples, health care, and financials. Some of the biggest companies on the market include Nestle, Novartis, Roche, and UBS. Switzerland equity mutual funds and ETFs may be passively or actively managed. They may also leave currency exposure unhedged, or choose to protect the portfolio from swings in the value of the Swiss Franc. The Swiss economy, the world’s 18th largest by nominal Gross Domestic Product as of 2022, is characterized by a heavy reliance on services, low taxation rates, and a large tourism sector. Watches, chemicals, and machinery are key exports. At 23.5% of GDP as of 2021, capital investment is significantly below its historical peak (nearly 35% in the late 1980s). As a developed market economy, Switzerland equity mutual funds and ETFs are often purchased by conservative-minded investors. Last Updated: 12/24/2024 View more View less
