Basel, 28 October 2021 – New money totaling CHF 45 billion helped investment fund

assets to continue growing in the first nine months of the year. Despite a downturn in

market sentiment, the total volume has risen by CHF 145.5 billion or 9.6% in the year to

date.

At the end September 2021, investors in Switzerland had placed CHF 1,476,880 million (yearend 2020: CHF 1,331,406 million) in investment funds. The key stock markets continued to post

monthly gains almost across the board into September, thanks mainly to the expansionary fiscal

and monetary policies pursued by governments and central banks. The markets were held back

in the third quarter by inflation fears. The increase in the Swiss fund market’s volume is

attributable to equity performance as well as inflows of new money amounting to CHF 45 billion.
