SNB-IP actively and passively manages assets according to monetary policy and in accordance with security, liquidity and return. Assets are selected and managed according to generally accepted asset management principles and the specific requirements of the SNB. The firm’s internal Investment Committee determines the tactical allocation on an operational level, adjusting the currency allocation, duration and the amount allocated to different investment categories within the strategically prescribed range. They manage most of their investments internally and use external asset managers to obtain access to specific investment categories and for conducting performance comparisons with internal portfolio management. SNB-IP manages equities of medium- and large-sized corporations on a purely passive basis, seeking to replicate broad market indexes.
