However, a surprising number of Swiss people act independently on the stock exchange. As a new survey conducted by the Online comparison service money to the country.ch shows, has traded a fifth of the adult population between the ages of 18 and 74 years ago, securities, or other products, for example, via the online platform.

“The hurdles to switch providers, are relatively high. The plays of the banks in the hands,” said Manz in connection with an evaluation, the money of the country created in November on behalf of the editorial Board of Tamedia. The Trading compared the fees of providers who have an authorisation in Switzerland. The result: especially on online trading specialized platforms usually offer the best conditions. Depending on the income class and providers, private investors can save a lot of money (see table above).
According to the new survey, the income plays already a crucial role, The survey revealed that there is a significant relationship between the asset and the probability that a Person buys securities and other investment products. Only 8 percent of the Swiss, with assets up to 20’000 Swiss francs have already been traded once. In the case of millionaires, there are more than two-thirds.
Also, depending on the gender, age, and Region there are large differences. Trading is first and foremost a matter for men: While 29 percent of men have already traded once on the exchange, it is for women to just 11 percent. In addition, the rule of thumb is: The older, the more likely it is Trader, shares and investment funds buy. In the case of Younger crypto-currencies like Bitcoin are popular.

Inexperienced traders should therefore remain out of security considerations, with a Swiss Broker, or a Swiss Bank.
