Swiss Baby Depot: Starting capital for every child
Every child born in Switzerland receives a one‑time starter capital of, for example, CHF 5,000. The money is locked, reserved for retirement savings, and invested in Swiss companies. It is financed through a fund sourced from the federal share of the National Bank’s profit distributions. Thanks to compound interest over roughly 65 years, a solid retirement foundation is created, and everyone becomes a co‑owner of the Swiss economic location from birth.
