The benefits of investing in high yield via CDS indices

In this webinar followed by a Q&A session Eleanor Jolidon Taylor will share our view on the Swiss small & mid-cap market. In the past this market’s diversification with a mix of high-quality defensive companies and niche, innovative players has delivered significantly higher returns over time. The Swiss small & midcap segment is also characterized by companies which are often global leaders and therefore exposed to global economic growth.

UBP is delighted to invite you to a webinar followed by a Q&A session hosted by Charlie Anniss. He will share our opinion on why the European smaller companies universe offers a wide range of investment opportunities with a wealth of niche, idiosyncratic, innovative and growing companies. Small and mid-cap companies in Europe are generally less well covered by the investment community and as such inefficiencies arise which dedicated active investors can take advantage of.

In this web conference we will highlight why small and mid-caps are an appealing investment case, how UBP has tackled this dynamic asset class and what our preferences are in this market.
