Swissquote, the Swiss online banking leader, welcomes Capital Group as its new prime partner for funds.

Having celebrated its 90th Anniversary in 2021, Capital Group is one of the oldest and largest asset management companies in the world, managing multi-asset, equity and fixed income investment strategies. Since 1931, Capital Group has been singularly focused on delivering superior, consistent results for long-term investors using high-conviction portfolios, rigorous research and individual accountability.

Today, Capital Group works with financial intermediaries and institutions to manage more than US$2.7 trillion (as at 31 December 2021) in long-term assets for investors around the world.

Capital Group established the first office outside of the US in Geneva in 1962 and opened an office in Zurich in 2015. Capital Group provides a wide range of investment services to institutional clients, financial intermediaries, banks, family offices and external asset managers in the Swiss market. Capital Group has more than 130 associates in Switzerland across the two offices.

Investment funds have a number of advantages over direct investment in securities. A fund invests in shares, bonds and various other products. Because the risk is spread across a range of investment products, the total risk is reduced.

Somebody who purchases a fund unit can invest in various categories simultaneously using a relatively small amount of money. Modern index funds, also known as ETFs, are directly tied to the performance of an index.

Earlier in 2022, Swissquote added Bellevue to its list of prime partners for funds.
