Tailor-Made Investment Mandates for the Individual Needs of Each Investor
We offer investment solutions to both private investors as well as institutional investors such as pension funds, foundations, companies and other institutions of all sizes. Based on many years of experience with major Swiss institutional investors, we focus on the individual needs of each specific client and offer tailor-made solutions. Thereby, we provide both systematic and discretionary investment approaches as well as combinations thereof. All investment mandates can draw on our expert judgement and house view, based on fundamental analysis and state-of-the-art macroeconomic projections.
Opportunistic Investment Approach
For investors with higher risk tolerance and/or longer investment horizons, opportunistic investment approaches offer increased return potential. The primary investment objective is capital growth. Typically, opportunistic investment approaches mainly rely on equities, commodities, real estate, and other alternative asset classes.
Defensive Investment Approach
For investors with lower risk tolerance and/or shorter investment horizons, defensive investment approaches offer a regular source of income. The primary investment objective is capital protection. Historically, defensive investment approaches mainly relied on fixed income instruments. However, in an environment of negative interest rates, innovative solutions and alternative strategies are needed to ensure continued capital protection of the investment.
Asset Class Mandates
In addition to these mixed mandates, we also offer investment solutions on asset class levels. Based on in- depth expertise and years of experience in various asset classes, we offer customized solutions for your equity, bond, alternative or crypto quota.
