Investment philosophy

Especially when it comes to dealing with financial assets, humans act not at all rationally. This emotionality combined with the increasing flood of information in today’s digital age leads to suboptimal decisions and below average performance. A systematic investment process can address these challenges and can make use of the systematic mistakes of other market participants respectively. We believe in recurring patterns on financial markets and combine specifically fundamental and market psychological insights.


To be successful when it comes to investing two decisions are of utmost importance:

  • Asset Allocation resp. the portfolio allocation of risky assets
  • Sector-Allocation resp. single equity security selection

Asset Allocation

A dynamic asset allocation to specifically dampen weakness periods of equity markets is the key for successful investing. Our systematic process analyzes on a regular basis the fundamental- and market psychological environment on financial markets and adjusts the equity allocation accordingly.

Sector-Allocation

Single equities often show strong divergence when it comes to return patterns. It helps a lot to analyze on a regular basis the relevant drivers of equity performance to distinguish the winners from the losers. Next to company specific factors like valuation and growth the sector affiliation is an important element. Equities within the same sector show in many cases strong parallel movements. By determining the attractiveness of the sectors over time there is a lot of value to be added.

Our investment approach allows us to easily implement our service offering on modular basis and in different structures. For the implementation of our investment process the following offerings and instruments are possible:
