Growing Yield advantages with Swiss Residential Mortgages

Given the low interest rate environment at the moment, it is barely possible to generate positive returns with bonds. As a result, Picard Angst uses Swiss Residential Mortgages to offer an attractive alternative, via the investment foundation avenirplus. By financing mortgages, primarily on residential properties in Switzerland’s Mittelland region, it is possible to generate yield advantages while keeping risk levels low.

Six good reasons for your investment

Yield advantages

Swiss Residential Mortgages offer more attractive potential in terms of returns than bonds.

Low volatility

Fluctuations in value are utterly minimal, even within a volatile environment.

Low borrowing rates

At 40%, the borrowing rate is more than 25% less than the statutory maximum.

Fixed interest rates

More than 90% of the mortgage receivables are assigned at fixed interest rates.

Creditworthiness

All the mortgagees have top-class credit ratings, as calculated by avenirplus’ specialists.

Safety

The safety level corresponds to AAA bonds, and all the properties are insured against earthquakes, too.
