According to their estimates of the bank's 'passive' investment strategy and the performance of its major asset classes, the experts forecast a CHF25-30 billion ($31-37 billion) profit this year. This would comfortably make up for the CHF15.3 billion loss recorded in summer, and represent a profit of CHF10-15 billion after nine months.

The valuation of the SNB's gold stocks exceeded CHF100 billion, thanks to the 16% rise in the price of gold between July and the end of August, generating a profit of CHF14 billion.

And the CHF200 billion invested in Swiss and global equities also generated just under CHF15 billion, based on an estimated overall increase of 8%.
