• Optimized Sampling Portfolio Management

  This approach to investment allows for the creation of a portfolio that mirrors the performance of the SBI® Corporate Index.

• Sustainable Investment Filtering

  The fund applies strict ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria to its investment universe, ensuring that only securities from issuers with responsible business practices are considered. This commitment to sustainable investing seeks to mitigate risks and promote long-term value creation within the fund.

• Focus on Swiss Franc-denominated Securities

  Investments are predominantly in bonds and similar income securities that are denominated in Swiss Francs (CHF). These include both fixed and variable rate instruments issued by a mix of private, public, and quasi-public issuers that are part of the fund's benchmark index. This focus aims to provide investors with exposure to the stability and strength of the Swiss financial market and currency.
