Journalistic concept

An investment guide for practical use

Published every six months, the focus «Investments & Pensions» is curated, designed and produced by the editorial team with the support of eminent specialist journalists. Readers can find out (practically) everything about important topics relating to financial provision and investments, including inflation, sustainable funds, cryptocurrencies, ETF savings plans and the reform of occupational pensions.

Experts have their say in the journalistically independent content. However, companies and organisations can write their own guest contributions. Focus editions in the «Neue Zürcher Zeitung» or in the «NZZ am Sonntag» are not the work of the editorial team, but of our in-house service provider for journalistic storytelling: NZZ Content Creation.

Potential subjects

• Inflation: For years, the spectre of the falling value of money was not an issue – now inflation is back, making its presence felt in wage negotiations and annual reports, and is giving savers a headache.
• Retirement abroad: We show you the financial factors you need to consider if you want to spend your retirement abroad.
• Equities: We explain why companies pay high dividends and what opportunities and risks are associated with securities of this nature.
• Pillar 3b: We present the unrestricted pillar 3b as a flexible alternative to the tied pillar 3a; pillar 3b is suitable for numerous savings goals.
• Sustainable and yet index trackers: The perfect combination of two worlds: sustainable, index-tracking funds for equities and bonds.
• Gifts: If you are thinking about lifetime gifts in lieu of bequests, we explain what you need to consider with regard to compulsory portions, tax aspects and equal treatment within the family.
• Important new direction for occupational pension provision (BVG): We report on the results of the referendum on BVG reform on 22 September 2024 and its impact on pension provision in Switzerland.
• Bitcoin: We analyse how Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have established themselves as asset classes and what investment opportunities are available.
• Investors have caught tech fever: Companies such as Apple, Google, Amazon and Nvidia have sometimes achieved impressive share price gains. But how realistic is the dream of making a small fortune with IT and tech shares?
• ETF savings plans: We present the various offers and strategies for ETF savings plans and their potential for success.
• Financial provision for the self-employed: We shed light on the most important aspects of financial provision for the self-employed. Without automatic inclusion in the occupational pension scheme, greater personal responsibility is required to ensure financial security.
