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 (-0,66%)
Novartis AG - $NOVN (+0,04%)
Alcon Inc. $ALC (+0,87%)
Luxury & Consumption
- Swatch Group AG (registered share) - $UHR (-0,1%)
Richemont (Compagnie Financière) - $CFR (+0,37%)
Lindt & Sprüngli (participation certificate) - $LISN (-1,62%)
Tech & Industry
- Logitech International SA - $LOGN (+1,24%)
Temenos AG - $TEMN (+1,09%)
Sika AG - $SIKA (+1,39%)
Insurance & Finance
- Zurich Insurance Group AG - $ZURN (-0,28%)
Swiss Re Ltd - $SREN (-0,34%)
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?
