Swisscanto Invest by Zürcher Kantonalbank

CH

Swisscanto Invest, as the product brand for investment funds within the Zürcher Kantonalbank Group, focuses on providing innovative, performance-driven, and sustainable funds and pension solutions. They emphasize Swissness by managing their portfolios entirely in Switzerland while offering access to global investment opportunities. Their investment strategy incorporates a commitment to sustainability, evident since launching their first sustainable fund in 1998. They aim to create financial well-being while making a positive societal impact by aligning with sustainable practices across most of their actively managed investment products. Recent asset allocation updates reflect a dynamic approach to market opportunities and risks. In February 2026, adjustments included selling US Treasury bonds, increasing exposure to tech stocks and emerging market equities, reducing healthcare holdings, and closing positions in Swiss real estate funds. The strategy involved a shift to global small caps and a continued underweighting of corporate bonds. In March 2026, in response to escalating tensions in Iran, they maintained a constructive outlook despite short-term risk-off sentiment, anticipating limited long-term impact on financial markets and firm profitability. They have been adjusting portfolios to benefit from Rohstoff, US-Dollar, Grund­stoff­aktien, Gold and alternative Anlagen. They continue to favor stocks and remain overweight in that asset class. Swisscanto sees sustainable growth themes and the potential of Artificial Intelligence as critical to long-term returns. They identify opportunities in companies demonstrating above-average growth and quality within IT, industry, and pharmaceutical sectors. Their focus on sustainable investment themes such as the energy transition and electrification underscore their commitment to aligning financial performance with responsible investing. This approach reflects a broader trend of sustainable investments showing resurgence and potential for strong performance, particularly for companies in areas of sustainable growth.

They leverage a team of 270 investment experts to capitalize on return potential in equity and capital markets through their range of approximately 250 fund products. Sustainability is a core focus, evidenced by their early adoption of sustainable investing, launching their first sustainable fund in 1998, and commitment to measurable sustainability goals and a clear climate strategy. Swisscanto's portfolio management is based entirely in Switzerland, providing access to global investment opportunities. Additionally, they offer award-winning pension products and expertise in the pension sector, substantiated by their Pension Funds Study. Recent asset allocation updates suggest a dynamic investment strategy that adapts to geopolitical events and market trends. They actively manage their portfolios by taking profits on certain investments, such as convertible bonds, and reallocating capital to areas with greater potential, like small-cap and emerging market equities. Their investment decisions are driven by macroeconomic analysis, earnings growth expectations, and valuation considerations, aiming to achieve a balance between risk and return. Their recent market commentary also highlights the importance of geopolitical risks and their impact on asset allocation. While acknowledging the potential for short-term market volatility due to events like the escalation in Iran, they generally maintain a constructive outlook and overweight position in equities, emphasizing the robustness of the global economy and the resilience of corporate earnings. This approach reflects a belief that geopolitical risks are often overestimated and rarely have lasting effects on financial markets.
