GAM Swiss Equities
Why GAM 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.
