Don't Be Fooled by the SMI: The Real Swiss Index
A common misconception is that indices like the SMI and SPI accurately reflect the Swiss economy.
However, these indices are heavily weighted towards the pharmaceutical sector and Nestlé. In
contrast, the Obermatt Swiss Pearls Index (OMSP1) offers a more comprehensive representation of
Switzerland's diverse economic sectors.
It encompasses a wider range of industries and minimizes sector-specific biases. This makes the OMSP1
a more authentic gauge of Swiss economic health, offering investors a more balanced and genuinely
Swiss investment opportunity.
