OUR ASSET MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
– THE MIXTURE IS THE ESSCENCE

We have multiple option -all for your own profit.

Our Portfolio Managers work together in expert groups/investment teams. This ensures that each investment that is accepted into our investment universe is checked multiple times and examined all over – for your safety. We manage your assets “opportunistically”. This means the permanent scrutinizing of our strategy, while we do not insist on procedures which although efficient in the past, have outdated the current market situation. This is the only way how we can minimize our overall risk, because a “static” approach can easily fail to meet the intended objective. Our tailor-made solutions are in-house”conceived, implemented and controlled. Our aim is to realize opportunities for our customer portfolio and to prevent risks from taking over. Only then we will be able to propose asset investment to our Customers. Investments are dynamically adapted and optimized for both the static variables (see the Portfolio Browser below: investment amount, cashflow, risk) and the product composition (for ex. adjustment of the selected securities, etc.) – of course we place high value on transparency for our Customers and inform them on each decision.

What is now the best mixture for me?

ACTIVE BOND MANAGEMENT

We offer you an active management – also for fixed-interest bonds,  since long gone are the times when only a simple “security bond” was required for a custody account.

We combine your information on the investment volume, risk budget and required cashflow with our expertise in countries, branches, companies and the distinct bond types in order to develop an individual bond portfolio, which is able to obtain revenues in the most different market conditions. Our bonds portfolio has another advantage: We diversify our asset management into a series of bonds, because – different from other parties – we are not obliged to focus on minimum denominations. This is how we avoid cluster risks.

PORTFOLIOS WITH SHARES AND STOCK OPTIONS

Our internationally oriented share universe is continuously updated by our own investment team. The 15 shares adopted into our Customer Portfolio are based on the premiss that they perform better than the rest of the peer group. The same applies to the supplementary implementation of stock options. This allows the timely adjustment to changing market conditions. Focusing on risk management has the priority over personalization.
