From May, the trading ban on Swiss shares in the EU will be lifted - so we can trade easily and directly on German stock exchanges again. I've put a few candidates on my watchlist that fit in well with my current strategy - maybe there's something for you too:
Healthcare & Pharma
- Roche Holding AG - $ROG (+0,76%)
Novartis AG - $NOVN (+1,35%)
Alcon Inc. $ALC (-1,1%)
Luxury & Consumption
- Swatch Group AG (registered share) - $UHR (-0,59%)
Richemont (Compagnie Financière) - $CFR (-0,36%)
Lindt & Sprüngli (participation certificate) - $LISN (-0,41%)
Tech & Industry
- Logitech International SA - $LOGN (+0,53%)
Temenos AG - $TEMN (-0,04%)
Sika AG - $SIKA (+1,71%)
Insurance & Finance
- Zurich Insurance Group AG - $ZURN (+0,38%)
Swiss Re Ltd - $SREN (-0,29%)
I will wait for the Q1 figures in particular and then build up small positions if there are setbacks - in the long term, a few of these stocks are definitely candidates for my savings plan or holding.
What do you think - do you have Swiss stocks on your radar?
Or is the withholding tax still a thorn in your side?
