Webinar: Swiss insurance companies – worth investing?

Will the insurance industry see a recovery this year? What about the Insurtech sector: Will increasing digitization give it the boost it needs? Our analyst Simon Fössmeier addressed these and many other questions in our webinar on February 5th, 2021. If you weren’t able to attend the event live, or would simply like to watch the webinar again at your leisure, you can access the replay here:

For Swiss insurance companies, our analysts expect growth of 4% in 2021. Our current recommendation when it comes to the insurance sector is to take a local, short-term investment approach. Arising from this approach are the following two product proposals for interested investors:

• The Capped Voncert Plus on Swiss Life Holding AG allows you a disproportionately high participation in the underlying share. The maximum possible return is limited to 29.09% p.a. Note, however, that the product does not offer capital protection.
• The Multi Defender Vonti with the three underlying equities Helvetia, Swiss Re, and Zurich Insurance has a guaranteed coupon of 8.33% p.a., with the barrier at 80%.

Both products have a tenor of 9 months. All the parameters can be individually adjusted on deritrade, and investors receive prices from different issuers.
