Based on your personal investor and sustainability profile, your investment term and your chosen investment focus, we propose an individual investment strategy for you. This sets out and defines the ratio of different asset classes (liquidity, bonds, equities, alternative investments) and the ranges (bandwidths) within which they can move.
You choose an individual investment focus (Switzerland, Global, Sustainable) to reflect your personal preferences in your portfolio. Through sustainability profiling, you determine whether and to what extent we should invest in sustainable instruments for you.

With e-asset management, customers delegate their investment decisions to PostFinance. PostFinance invests their money on the financial markets and manages their portfolio.
Customers must indicate what financial losses they are able absorb. Their risk capacity is determined based on this information. Customers also indicate how much loss they are prepared to accept, which is known as their risk appetite. Additionally, customers indicate the investment term they would like and how important sustainability is to them. This makes it clear to what degree sustainable investment products should be incorporated into their investment strategy, allowing PostFinance to take environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into account when making investments. Customers can also choose a personal investment focus, such as “Switzerland”, “Global” or “Sustainable”.
A portfolio is compiled based on the investor profile. The ratio of the different asset classes (liquidity, bonds, equities or alternative investments) and the range within which they can fluctuate are optimized.
The portfolio is monitored daily and adjusted based on the personal investment strategy and the current market conditions. PostFinance’s market view, which is created monthly by the investment committee, forms the basis for adjustment decisions. This positioning is communicated transparently in our investment compass monthly publication.
The “e” stands for electronic. However, e-asset management is not a digital robot solution. It can be opened online, and complex mathematical processes and data analysis methods are used to define and optimize the composition of the investment strategies. However, the analysis carried out by our investment committee, which is made up of human beings, always plays a key role.
PostFinance has been involved in the investment business for over 25 years and offers solid investment solutions.
