Company directors and CFOs who would like to optimise their investments rather than let their excess liquidity lie idle can use BCGE’s online trading 1816 platform to do so. The platform is intended for private investors as well as corporate clients and the self-employed and allows them to manage their stock market investments themselves and without any intermediary.
Used by more than 11,000 investors
To boost their liquidity reserves by investing them wisely, companies already have access to a range of traditional solutions such as cash accounts, cash management solutions or term deposits. But what alternatives do entrepreneurs have to make a profit on medium or long-term investments of surplus cash? They can build up a portfolio of securities, for example. Nearly 20% of Geneva-based companies already hold a custody account that they manage in-house to generate cost-saving profits with their investments. This way, they can take advantage of investments in shares of listed companies, in bonds or in other investment vehicles that are available online.

Invest online with a secure bank
BCGE’s investment policy recommends investing excess liquidity only once reserves are well secured. This means that the funds needed for running the business must not be touched, and the risk of each investment in the stock market as well as the time needed must be taken into account too. To execute a securities transaction, all you have to do is activate the platform free of charge. BCGE advisers are available to support business leaders in this process and for any questions relating to liquidity optimisation adapted to each situation for the self-employed, SMEs and large companies.
