Your Swiss bank account offers you a practically boundless investment horizon. Swiss banks are on the cutting edge in this area, offering you a wide selection of financial products that increases every day.

A risk-free investment yields interest (see rates). To exceed this basic rate, you can invest in a variety of products:

• Swiss or foreign stocks
• Swiss or foreign bonds
• Investment funds
• Derivatives
• Precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium)

Either you decide to manage your investments on your own by choosing your stock transactions, or you hand the reigns over to your banker, who will manage your investments according to your terms.

Regardless of the method you choose, it is a good idea to know the 3 basic rules for any investment strategy:

1. Return is tied to risk
2. Risk is tied to investment horizon
3. Risk is reduced through diversification
