Swiss Treasuries are scarce and have no yield. British gilts (short term Treasuries) can be bought from brokers, but again you are getting into pricing and markup challenges. There's Prudent Bear's income fund which is exposed to foreign sovereigns, but they have a large fee structure. All hard to set up logistically, but maybe others have some ideas.

BEGBX invests in govt. bonds outside the U.S. and takes only a small annual fee (0.7%?)

i bought 10yr real-denominated Brazilian bonds with 13% YTM. Brazil has around 19% cash rates with under 5% inflation, so they have perhaps the highest real rates in the world. all of Europe has negative cash rates, even worse than the US. Swiss working hard to debase their currency as well. Grant had an interesting piece a while back comparing and contrasting the Swissie and the real.
