CHF Confederation bonds
Switzerland
Swiss Confederation bonds (Eidgenossen) are CHF claims on the Swiss Confederation. Yields are often among the lowest in the developed world; the bond is frequently a currency decision for anyone who does not spend francs.
Liquidity is thinner than bunds or Treasuries. Bid–ask can dominate a small ticket. We do not yet have a free official daily 10-year JSON feed for Switzerland, so Swiss lines stay on a dated educational snapshot until that changes.
Credit quality is excellent. A sterling or dollar investor still takes franc moves, which can swamp the coupon.
