Creating your first portfolio: how to start investing in Switzerland

Programme

Every month your salary comes in, you put some aside, and your savings account grows a little. After a few years in Switzerland, that can turn into a serious amount of money. But if you're honest, you don't really know what to do with it. Your colleague keeps talking about ETFs, your bank wants to sell you its own funds, and your social media feed is full of people getting rich on stocks you've never heard of. So you wait for the right moment, and the money sits there earning almost nothing.

The end of the year is the perfect time to change that. It's the last chance to make your pillar 3a payment for 2026, and a good moment to set things up so that 2027 is the year your money starts working for you.

In this webinar, we'll cut through the noise and walk through how to build your first portfolio in Switzerland, step by step, using what actually works today.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

Where to start, and what to think about before you invest

How people in Switzerland invest today

The mistakes to avoid when you're starting out

Whether you've never invested a franc or you've already bought a few things without a clear plan, you'll leave knowing exactly where to start, and ready to begin the new year with a plan.
