Does it make more sense for an investor in Switzerland to buy U.S. stocks at SIX or at NASDAQ? Which works out cheaper and faster?

Hi there,

Both the SIX Swiss Exchange and the Berne Exchange let you purchase foreign shares, including many shares listed on NASDAQ.

The main benefit of purchasing shares on Swiss exchanges is that transactions are made in Swiss francs, cutting out currency exchange costs.

Depending on which Swiss broker you use, trades performed on a Swiss stock exchange may also incurr lower brokerage fees than trades performed on a foreign exchange.

Best regards from Moneyguru
