Corporates: Focus on strong companies

Our Corporates investment solutions with a focus on investment grade debtors allow you to invest in corporate bonds in Swiss francs or foreign currencies. The range includes solutions across the entire maturity spectrum and for various geographical investment preferences.

A single location leads to short decision-making paths. The added value is reflected in the outperformance of our global corporate funds in recent years.

The portfolio managers are also analysts, leading to holistic analyses and better decisions in the clearly structured investment process.

In 1993, our asset manager, Zürcher Kantonalbank, launched the first investment fund for global corporate bonds.

Our funds are aligned with the Paris climate goal and follow a transparent sustainability approach. Key figures can be found in the sustainability reports.
