1. Swiss equity case
UBP said Swiss equities may help reduce portfolio volatility as market leadership rotates. It cited historically low correlations with U.S. and global indices, driven by different sector mixes, and said this has reduced volatility with limited return trade-offs. The firm also highlighted Swiss exposure to AI infrastructure, under-researched small- and mid-cap stocks, and Swiss franc strength as a long-term support for non-Swiss investors.
