Hi all - tired of being fleeced on safekeeping fees etc..
I use IB to buy USD bonds, it's pretty shit their execution for bonds to be honest, and while my Swiss bank (think CS and UBS) has phenomenal market making for bonds, their prices + safekeeping fees are just not that great.
So here is the question:
Specifically for CHF bonds, who is the cheapest? I am thinking of going with Swissquote at the moment (they even offer you a bottle of Moet if you sign up before Christmas

). Prices look reasonable enough
There are 3 perp Alpiq / Hoclim / Swisslife and CS's coco that I have started accumulating on every pay check and want to keep on adding (minimum size is 5k notional as well, making bond investing actually affordable for simple people).
