Optimizing your risk/return ratio

Even though we have one eye fixed on returns, our principal objective is to protect your capital. With this in mind, it is just as important to limit losses when times are tough as to make the right investments when the markets are booming. This is why we employ a wide range of hedging techniques and make extensive use of alternative products, an area in which we have in-depth specialist knowledge and renowned expertise. In our opinion, performance must always be interpreted in light of the risks incurred.

Active, non-indexed management

We invest only in areas where we perceive a genuine opportunity for return, independent of market indices and investment fads. We have adopted an active style which allows us to react instantly to changes in market conditions and which, we believe, enables us to take better account of our clients' individual investment horizons. Our flexibility and size are a major advantage in this regard, as they enable us to enter and exit all kinds of markets quickly and easily.

Selecting the world’s best managers

We have developed high-quality in-house expertise on the majority of markets. In order to complement this, we delegate the management of certain asset classes to the best specialists worldwide. Our overriding concern is that you, our client, should benefit from the best possible management of your investments, regardless of where it comes from.

These three principles enable us to deliver robust investment performance in varying market conditions. In the past we have achieved good results when the markets were favourable, while protecting our clients' portfolios when conditions were tough.
