Investing with a sporting spirit
Flexibility, strength and stamina – these are widely acknowledged critical factors of success when striving to achieve a world-class sports performance. Applying the right mix for a particular sports discipline is extremely important. Mental strength, physical fitness and targeted training sessions are equally vital in attaining future success. Our portfolio managers for selective niche strategies have many years of competitive experience in their respective disciplines. Be it in managing traditional relative return-oriented portfolios or alternative long/short equity strategies.
Besides fundamental financial projections, our training sessions include detailed interviews with management on company premises and developing an intrinsic sense of the quality a company has to offer. Candid discussions and the insights gained at congresses and conferences, in the marketplace, through contact with a company's customers and trusted third parties as well as technical analysis are among the tools we use to stay fit and ensure a top-class performance.
The willingness to look at issues from unconventional perspectives while applying conventional, highly structured and risk-controlled investment processes is crucial for success. Focusing mental and physical strength towards the achievement of a goal at the perfect moment – a fitting description of the skills and tactics the portfolio managers of our selective niche products display in achieving a superior performance.
