The new 1741 Switzerland Index Series Funds of 1741 Asset Management are putting an end to the "one size fits all" solution of indexing and offer investors access to eight specific index funds based on the Swiss stock market, with each fund applying a specific indexing methodology.
Up until recently, the concept of indexing was synonymous with market capitalization weighted indexing. Accordingly, the Swiss Performance Index – better known as the SPI – has profited from a quasi-monopoly in Switzerland over the past 25 years.

With the launch of the 1741 Switzerland Index Series Funds, this monopoly of the SPI will be broken up.
The 1741 Switzerland Index Series Funds comprise the 50 largest companies that are listed on the Swiss stock exchange. The eight index funds cover the broad spectrum of indexing methodologies from the formally uncomplicated equal- and fundamental-weighted indices, to the more sophisticated risk parity- or value-based indices.
"We strive for continuous improvement and are not afraid to challenge the prevailing norms in order to offer our investors unique and ground-breaking investment solutions", says Daniel Leveau, CEO of 1741 Asset Management.
