Swiss Bonds vs German Bunds — the mechanics
A euro-based investor buying Swiss bonds unhedged is speculating on the franc. Hedging CHF to EUR can erase the yield gap or more. Credit quality is not the interesting part of this pair — FX is.
CHF versus EUR, Confederation versus Bund, thinner versus deeper. Credit is excellent on both. The economic difference is currency and liquidity.
A euro-based investor in Swiss bonds is making a franc call. A Swiss pension in bunds is making a euro call, often hedged.
Do not buy Swiss paper because ‘Germany is riskier’ if your actual exposure is FX. Measure the spread in one currency first — which you can only do with a hedge.

Our live board is a teaching overlay: dated prints, named sources, estimated ISIN lines. It is not a replacement for the issuer’s calendar.
