Join SanPete Financial Group at the Swiss Peer to Peer Conference 2024. Switzerland already has a tremendously strong economic footprint in the United States. It is the 6th largest foreign investor in the United States, making it by far the most important destination for Swiss FDI. In other words, the U.S. absorbs about one-fifth of total Swiss investment abroad, which is more than in Germany, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom combined! More than 500 Swiss companies with about 3,500 business locations doing business all over the United States create almost half a million jobs. Swiss companies do business in all fifty states, with an exceptionally strong presence in terms of number of affiliates in California, New York, Illinois, Texas, and Florida. It is not surprising that they are active in a huge variety of business sectors ranging from precision instruments and machinery to the food industry, financial services, mining, and many more. Swiss companies rank among the top three foreign employers in several states, including New York, California, New Jersey, Maine, Wyoming, and Delaware.

Quick comment for not German speakers who missed this. National Councilor Thomas Aeschi has submitted a parliamentary motion to extend the Lex Koller law to include commercial real estate. The risk here is that, as they say in Switzerland, an "unholy alliance" could form, meaning that the political left and right could come together to form a majority on the proposal. As the left supports such an tightening If this makes it through the long process, it could lead to non-residents being unable to purchase commercial real estate in Switzerland. Currently, the acquisition of residential properties is restricted to Swiss residents only. As it includes a "grandfathering" non-Swiss residents would also be forced to sell their commercial real estate holdings. This could enduce a massive sell-off of listed real estate companies and would also have negative impact on the swiss real estate valuations. Since in Switzerland it would have to pass through both chambers and then be subject to an optional referendum, it would take several years. Nonetheless, it's unpleasant, especially coming from a party that claims to be market-friendly (which, in reality, it is not as we see it here). Listed real estate has not reacted yet and investors still can hedge themselves cheaply against this tail risk. But it shows the politication of real estate in Switzerland. In our recent presentation at the Zurich pension fund summit we have pointed to this megatrend " #lexkoller #swissrealestate #regulation #politicalrisks #aeschi #SVP #swisspolitics https://lnkd.in/e6WeG7C8

#Zurich is known as high quality education center with some of world class Universities with 85 000 students annually. Almost 70% of all students are coming from outside Zurich region. Martin Varga from BONARD told me that there are only 5 500 student rooms available every year. That means only 6% of all students can book student room which is likely to be operated by non-private institution. What about remaining 94% of students? WG? Are there many available? Situation is even worse when it comes to 22 000 international students coming to Zurich every year. How can they handle their accommodation? I am very keen to discuss this subject further. Let me know in comments or PM. #students #switzerland #studentliving #zurich
