Images: Shutterstock.com Introduction Rock solid Rock solid It should come as no surprise that Switzerland remains a key destination for manufacturers and distributors of funds in Europe. There is a relatively well funded institutional market – as evidenced by InvestmentEurope’s own event, Pensionskassenforum Zurich 2018, which takes place 13 November, and will draw fund selectors and other financial professionals from across the country to discuss latest developments in the country’s pension system. And there is a group of significant domestic suppliers, which according to figures from the Swiss Funds & Asset Management Association includes UBS, Credit Suisse, Swisscanto, Pictet, GAM, Vontobel, Lombard Odier and Swiss Life. SFAMA suggests that industry assets overall in the past five years increased from some CHF735.9bn to CHF1,117.8bn (roughly €645bn to €980bn). This ezine presents further market views and insights from locally based fund “Switzerland remains a key destination for manufacturers selectors; highlights from our Swiss Summit earlier in 2018, an outlook on and distributors of funds in Europe” ETFs in the Swiss context, and an overview of pending events in 2019.

  • Business Cycle Signals Results of the SNB Company Talks
    Business cycle signals Results of the SNB company talks Fourth quarter of 2020 Report submitted to the Governing Board of the Swiss National Bank for its quarterly assessment. The appraisals presented here are based on discussions between the SNB’s delegates for regional economic relations and company managers throughout Switzerland. In its evaluation, the SNB aggregates and interprets the information received. A total of 242 company talks were conducted between 13 October and 30 November. In light of the coronavirus crisis, the delegates addressed several additional issues, and asked specific questions on the liquidity situation and lending conditions (for more details, cf. page 32). Regions Delegates Central Switzerland Gregor Bäurle Eastern Switzerland Urs Schönholzer Fribourg/Vaud/Valais Aline Chabloz Geneva/Jura/Neuchâtel Jean-Marc Falter Italian-speaking Switzerland Fabio Bossi Mittelland Roland Scheurer Northwestern Switzerland Daniel Hanimann Zurich Fabian Schnell 28 Quarterly Bulletin 4 / 2020 December Key points • After the strong but only partial economic recovery in the summer, the fourth quarter has been marked by a renewed flare-up of the pandemic, with a corresponding loss of turnover in many industries. • Real turnover, particularly in the services sector, is lower quarter-on-quarter; in manufacturing it is stable. Turnover in both these sectors is substantially lower year-on-year. The differences between industries, but also between companies, are bigger than usual. • Production capacity and infrastructures are substantially underutilised, except in the construction sector. There has been a renewed increase in difficulties in the delivery of goods and services. • Profit margins have again come under more pressure. Companies’ liquidity situation is somewhat tighter than in the previous quarter.

  • The Peace Conference of Lausanne (1922-1923)
    Bern 1923 - 2008 With the kind support of: Mrs Ionna Ertegiin Mrs Selma Goksel Tiirkiye I~ Bankasi Anadolu Ajans1 Thanks to: Onur Ozc;:eri (Research, text and layout) Agathon Aerni (research) Tuluy Tanc;: (editing) © Embassy of Turkey, Bern 85 years of representation of the Republic of Turkey in Switzerland (1923-2008) The Embassy of the Republic of Turkey, Bern ~u6tic offJ'urk,ey rrfie (Jlresufent It is no coincidence that the Republic of Turkey purchased its first Embassy premises abroad, in Switzerland's capital, Bern, to establish the seat of its diplomatic representation. The negotiation of a peace treaty and its successful outcome took the shape of the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923. The Treaty of Lausanne left an indelible mark in our memory. The aspiration of the Turkish nation to live as a free and independent people is thus anchored in Switzerland, a land that earned the reputation for fairness, equity and justice. The subsequent adoption in 1926 of a Civil Code based on the Swiss example, the Montreux Convention negotiated in 1936 in Switzerland giving full sovereignty on the Turkish Straits and other events have solidified this perception. I am therefore particularly pleased that the roots of the friendship bonds between Turkey and Switzerland and the main events associating Switzerland to Turkey have been compiled in a book. The book also illustrates the reciprocal attention and like minded approaches of both Turkey and Switzerland to further promote bilateral relations between two democracies and to facilitate the realization of aspirations of peace. I would like to express my thanks to the President of the Swiss Confederation, His Excellency Pascal Couchepin and to all who have contributed to the realization of this book.

  • Bern – Luxury Meets UNESCO
    Contact: Nicole Schaffner Direct line: +41 (0)31 328 12 42 Email: [email protected] Media text Bern – Luxury meets UNESCO “This is the most beautiful place we have ever seen.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote these words in a letter to his friend Charlotte von Stein during his 1779 stay in Bern. Also today, the Swiss capital and UNESCO World Heritage Site will cast a spell on its visitors with an almost limitless offer of cultural activities, shopping and lifestyle to enjoy. The romantic Swiss capital owes its appeal to the unity of its urban landscape created by its sandstone buildings, countless cobbled alleyways and ancient towers and turrets from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The cityscape of Bern, founded in 1191, is marked by decorative fountains, the late Bern Minster and a unique skyline of roofs. All these treasures are enclosed by the loop of the Aare river, curving round the old town like a protective shield. Today, the old town is regarded as one of the most extraordinary and best preserved examples of medieval town planning in Europe and is recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983. Situated right within this one- of-a-kind perimeter are two renowned luxury addresses: the tradition-steeped Hotel Bellevue Palace and the Hotel Schweizerhof Bern. Behind the historical facades of the Swiss capital, you find everything your heart could desire: from ultra-modern shops with international brands, fashion boutiques through to exquisite local specialist stores. The four miles of arcades in the old town make for an impressive covered shopping promenade.
