Hedging against the decline of the EU/euro?

attachment



Hello everyone,

I am a fan of Andreas Beck (see interviews with him on YouTube).

He invests his cash and crash reserves in Swiss government bonds, among other things.


The advantage: the currency is the Swiss franc (solid currency) and it also pays a bit of interest.


My investment case:

  • The EU will soon have a new Greece problem, but this time with a completely different house number: France
  • In my view, reforms in France are virtually impossible. Later retirement due to demographics and the streets are already burning
  • In addition, there is an incentive system to exploit DE's stupidity (or rather its financial solidity). Others go into debt and DE will pay/be liable for it


For me this means: Bearish Euro. Save yourself who can.

I find US T-bills quite interesting, but to be fair, the US also has problems. In my view, Switzerland is the island of bliss :)


But now the question of all questions arises:

How can I invest in Swiss government bonds?

Even via CapTrader I haven't found anything (although TWS is also creepy from a UX point of view, maybe I just didn't find it).

Trade Republic offers a few bonds, e.g. Nestle. But it's not so failsafe.


According to my research, there is a money market ETF for it $CSBGC3 but it is probably only tradable in Switzerland?


P.S. I am already invested in alternatives such as $BTC (-0,51 %) I am already invested, but in my opinion it is too volatile for a crash reserve. $GOLD (-0,26 %) does not yield any interest.


Now I am looking for

  • Opportunities to invest in Swiss government bonds & the Swiss franc
  • If that doesn't work: Do you have other hedging ideas against the euro's decline?


Looking forward to your opinions!

So, if you only want Swiss francs outside the EU, I can recommend Swissquote, a bank in Switzerland that also has a broker

Why not just stash 5 10 20tsd francs at home? Sure, no interest, but the inflation of the euro is your interest anyway.

I too have been thinking about ways to get real exposure to CHF. Haven’t found anything besides buying an ETF from a Swiss broker, but it’s not ideal
