But that amount doesn\u2019t include the cost of logistics such as transport or security features like reinforced walls, guards and alarm systems.<\/p>\n<p>Companies need to save a lot on bank fees for cash storage to be economical because, in addition to insurance, they have to assume the costs of managing the money, said Roberto Brunazzi, a spokesman for Baloise Holding AG. He said the company has long offered such coverage \u201cbut there has been a noticeable increase and now it\u2019s becoming more commonplace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Switzerland\u2019s continued use of high-denomination banknotes adds to the appeal of self-storage: About 1 million francs worth of 1,000-franc bills can fit in a small box.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.12%, equivalent to 6.66% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ftse.com\/products\/FTSETMX\/Home\/Indices\">Long corporates<\/a> yield a hair over 3.60%, so the
