Investing in times of high inflation and strong fluctuations on the stock markets is challenging. The increasing uncertainty and dwindling trust in the financial system show that a conservative investment strategy with a strong focus on tangible assets (e.g. precious metals, real estate, shares) is a good idea. This means that savings are better protected against crises and the purchasing power of money is better preserved.
Taking real assets into account when investing has many advantages. Since they are defensive and conservative in nature, this form of investment ensures stability and diversification in a portfolio. Scarce, tangible assets cannot be produced in unlimited quantities. You cannot “print” gold endlessly, as was done with national currencies and led to dramatic inflation. Tangible assets therefore experience price performance that is fundamentally based on the real economy and therefore not only offer a reasonable return opportunity, but also protection against inflation.
The common definition encompasses tangible goods. These include primarily real estate, parts of the infrastructure and raw materials, but also shares in companies that are useful in the real world. Of course, real assets are also subject to price fluctuations or risks, but these are generally lower in the long term than in other asset classes. There tends to be less liquidity in the market, which leads to less trading activity and therefore greater price stability. Anyone who wants to invest their money in real assets should consider a medium to long-term time horizon.
avers who are particularly risk-averse do not invest at all and often leave their money in their accounts out of fear. This means they miss out on the chance of a return and, since bank interest rates are much lower than inflation, they also lose purchasing power every year. Our inflation calculator clearly demonstrates this. An strategy that invests conservatively, defensively and with a strong focus on tangible assets is therefore a much more appealing alternative. A diligent and targeted selection of real assets by professional financial specialists like us promotes diversification, stability and security in a portfolio. This can avoid excessive risks, increase crisis protection and achieve reasonable returns.
Real estate is often used as protection against inflation, but is not recommended as the sole asset class to serve that purpose. Prices have been overheated for some time, which is why institutional investors have already started selling investment properties. Demand for privately owned property is also likely to fall again due to past increases in interest rates. This is why a diversified and actively managed strategy with various tangible assets is more suitable than real estate alone. RealUnit Schweiz AG has been investing in various tangible assets for years with proven results and has continuously developed and fine-tuned its investment strategy.
The solution is called RealUnit. A long-term and crisis-resistant strategy is needed to ensure high stability and to preserve the value of your assets over generations. The proven strategy of RealUnit is based on over 20 years of experience with real asset investments.
At least half of the investments are kept physically and outside the banking system in Switzerland. The focus is on gold, silver and industrial metals. In addition, there are investments in predominantly Swiss companies with a solid balance sheet, sustainable earnings and a crisis-resistant business model.
