Investment strategy

The foundation for long-term investment success.

An investment strategy is a systematic plan for achieving your financial goals and protecting your wealth. A clearly defined and well-founded investment strategy provides the framework for all investment decisions and is based on a thorough analysis of your financial objectives, risk tolerance, and investment horizon. By strategically diversifying across asset classes such as bonds, equities, and alternative investments such as real estate, risks are managed and opportunities effectively leveraged.

We act with foresight and structure – each decision follows a proven multi-step approach. This is how we lay the foundation for sustainable growth and financial stability.

How to proceed

1. Assessment of your risk profile
Your individual ability and willingness to take financial risks are analyzed. We assess your needs, goals, and investment horizon to achieve optimal asset allocation. Regular reviews and adjustments ensure that your risk profile stays aligned with your current life situation and risk/return expectations.
2. Definition of an investment strategy and Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA)
This determines your long-term portfolio structure based on your risk profile. We analyze both traditional and alternative asset classes and optimize your portfolio through diversification. The SAA is reviewed and adjusted annually. We distinguish between five risk profiles, each leading to a specific investment strategy.

Behavioral finance

Emotions significantly influence investment decisions and can strongly shape your behavior. Greed and fear are two of the most powerful emotional factors. Therefore, it's essential to adhere to a disciplined and systematic approach. This helps avoid emotionally driven decisions and instead focuses on fundamental strategic principles like diversification and balanced asset allocation.

Discipline and long-term thinking are essential to weathering market fluctuations and achieving stable returns.
