You have worked hard, built a great career in Switzerland, and saved a serious amount of money. Maybe CHF 100'000 or more. But you may not come from an investment background. And right now, the headlines are loud. Inflation, interest rates, wars, and policy changes. Markets go up, markets go down, and every news alert makes you wonder whether you should act, wait, or do nothing at all. So your money sits in a Swiss bank account. Or it is spread across a few random stocks and ETFs you bought without a clear plan. And every time you open the app, you feel a little less sure. This webinar is about navigating the market uncertainties and building a calm, structured investment strategy based on your own financial situation.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

1. The two traps of uncertain times, and how to avoid both

2. How to turn uncertainty into a long-term opportunity

3. The five step Calm Investor Checklist to build the investment strategy during uncertain times

4. Two live case studies of investors in Switzerland, so you can see exactly what your own strategy is missing

Join us and discover how to stop reacting to headlines and start investing with clarity, structure, and peace of mind.

Be aware of the risk

Trading leveraged products on the Forex platform, such as foreign exchange, spot precious metals and Contracts for Difference (CFDs), involves significant risk of loss due to the leverage and may not be suitable for all investors. Prior to opening an account with Swissquote, consider your level of experience, investment objectives, assets, income and risk appetite. Losses are in theory unlimited and you may be required to make additional payments if your account balance falls below the required margin level and therefore you should not speculate, invest or hedge with capital you cannot afford to lose, that is borrowed or urgently needed or necessary for personal or family subsistence. Over the past 12 months, 68.22% of retail investors have either lost money when trading CFDs, experienced a total loss of their margin at the closing of their position or ended up with a negative balance after closing their position. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading and seek advice from an independent financial adviser if you have any doubts.
