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.

In their latest podcast, UBP’s Co-Heads of Swiss and Global Equity, Martin Moeller and Eleanor Taylor Jolidon, provide us with their insights into the equity space, and in particular global equities, as the year draws to a close and we move into 2025.

You might have heard about our Swiss & Global Equity team’s investment approach, which revolves around cash-flow return on investments (known as CFROI – Source: UBS HOLT) and the selection of companies with high and stable CFROI only for some of its portfolios. This is a measure that gives an indication of a company’s ability to create value.

Following a relatively lacklustre performance in 2023 and the Swiss National Bank’s recent interest rate cut, is now the time to revisit the Swiss equity opportunity set? In this Investment Rendez-Vous podcast, Eleanor Taylor Jolidon, co-head of UBP’s Swiss and Global Equity team, walks us through Swiss business models, current valuations and industries of particular interest.

Investors may find the strong fundamentals and stable economic, political and social aspects of Switzerland attractive in terms of equity investments in a year which may be dominated by geopolitical newsflow.

UBP gives Allnews its latest economic and investment outlook for 2024, with Norman Villamin (N.V.), Group Chief Strategist, and Eleanor Taylor Jolidon (E.T.J.), Co-Head Swiss & Global Equity Franchise and Senior Portfolio Manager.

We don’t expect central banks to cut rates before the second half of 2024.

With a rebound in EPS growth expected for 2024, though with disparities between market segments, and with interest rates and inflation still at elevated levels, active management is key.
