Swiss Central Bank Sets New Record with $191 Billion U.S. Stock Portfolio

The Swiss National Bank has reached a new milestone in its exposure to U.S.-listed companies, holding more than 2,300 stocks worth approximately $191.4 billion as of June 30.

This record portfolio highlights the extraordinary scale of the central bank's investments in U.S. equities and offers another indication of how closely global financial institutions remain connected to American markets.

The Swiss National Bank holds more than 2,300 U.S.-listed companies across various sectors, including technology, healthcare, consumer goods, financial companies, industrial businesses, energy companies, and others.

This broad approach reflects the SNB's long-term investment philosophy, which aims to diversify its foreign assets and provide higher long-term returns than holding only cash or short-term government securities.
