ZURICH – Let’s be direct. If you’re an accredited investor in Switzerland, your traditional portfolio is likely failing you. Bonds yield paltry returns, and public equities swing on the whims of global sentiment. The quest for stable, high alpha and genuine portfolio diversification is more urgent than ever.

The solution? Look to the capital gap. As traditional banks retreat, a profound opportunity has emerged for sophisticated capital providers. The alternative funding market—specifically, private credit investments—is where savvy Swiss family offices and accredited investors are now parking capital to earn yields of 8-12%, backed by hard assets and corporate cash flows.

This isn’t niche; it’s mainstream for the informed. The global private debt market has ballooned to over $1.2 trillion. In Switzerland, from innovative tech firms in Zürich to established manufacturers in Bern, businesses are seeking flexible capital. They turn to private capital advisory firms, not banks, for venture debt, revenue-based financing, and structured finance solutions.

Why This Matters for Your Portfolio Now

For the accredited investor, this is more than an alternative; it has become core to modern wealth management.

• Yield in a Zero World: Private credit investments consistently offer a premium yield, providing a tangible solution to the low-interest-rate environment.
• Diversification That Works: Returns are tied to the success of private companies, not the SMI. This non-correlation is the holy grail for asset allocation.
• Inflation Protection: Many instruments feature floating rates, making them a strategic hedge.
• Capital Preservation Priority: As a lender, you often sit senior in the capital structure, with first claim on assets.

Your Next Move: Accessing the Swiss Private Debt Ecosystem

The barrier to entry isn’t capital; it’s expertise and access. Success requires deep operational due diligence, stringent valuation work, and a network of high-quality deal flow. This is the exclusive domain of specialized private capital advisory firms.
