Swiss equities as a portfolio diversification enhancer
As global investors face evolving geopolitical and market landscapes, the Swiss equity market presents a compelling case for global portfolio diversification in 2025 and beyond.
Equities: diversify and grow
At UBP, we understand equities' vital role in a well-diversified portfolio, and we are committed to helping our clients find the right investment solutions for them.
The power of equities
Equities, also known as stocks, represent ownership stakes in companies, giving investors access to a share of a company’s profits and growth potential. Over the long term, equities have historically delivered higher returns than other asset classes, making them a key component of many investors' portfolios.
However, equity investing also comes with its share of risks. Stocks' values can fluctuate based on various factors, including economic conditions, market sentiment, and company-specific events. This is where the expertise and guidance of a skilled investment partner can add value.
