About The Swiss Helvetia Fund, Inc.
The Fund (www.swzfund.com) is a non-diversified, closed-end
investment company seeking long-term capital appreciation through
investment in equity and equity-linked securities of Swiss
companies. Its shares are listed on the NYSE under the symbol
"SWZ." The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by
investing generally in Swiss equity and equity-linked securities
that are traded on a Swiss stock exchange, traded at the pre-bourse
level of one or more Swiss stock exchanges, traded through a market
maker or traded over the counter in Switzerland. The Fund also may invest in Swiss
equity and equity-linked securities of Swiss companies that are
traded on other major European stock exchanges.
Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously
offered. Typically, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open
market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds
frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the
Fund's shares is determined by a number of factors, several of
which are beyond the control of the Fund. Therefore, the Fund
cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net
asset value.
The Fund is managed by Schroder Investment Management North
America Inc.
