Press release:
Baader Helvea Swiss Equities Conference: Swiss companies are optimistic in their outlook for 2019

Unterschleißheim, Germany, 14 January 2019: At the 15th Baader Helvea Swiss Equities Conference in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland, which came to an end on Friday after two conference days, 67 leading Swiss companies met with 270 institutional investors from 18 countries. Decision-makers, mostly from small and mid-cap companies, gave numerous individual presentations to summarise the progression over recent quarters.

In 2018, the economic conditions for Swiss companies were extremely positive; here, too, the outlook is starting to cloud over for 2019. Nevertheless, many Swiss company managers and investors regard Switzerland as a safe bank for the new year. Strong market positions of internationally active small and large Swiss companies indicate that business models are functioning. In addition, the unanimous opinion of this year's conference participants was that the exchange rate on the Swiss franc could also make investment in Swiss products more attractive.

"We view Switzerland as a highly attractive investment country for 2019 not only because of fundamental data, but also due to Brexit and other geopolitical uncertainties," said Oliver Riedel, the Executive Board Member in charge of client business at Baader Bank, to summarise the successful event.

The next Baader Helvea Swiss Equities Conference will take place in mid-January 2020 in Switzerland. Further details can also be found on our website at https://www.swissequitiesconference.com/.
