Focusing on thematic investing

We use our thematic investments to focus on the trends of tomorrow. They’re not based on particular investment categories: instead, they focus on major structural changes. We identify global ideas relating to how these transformations can be turned into business models that generate as much value and benefit as possible. Our thematic investments enable investors to profit directly from these trends becoming a reality.

Commodities

We are one of the leading commodities specialists in Switzerland. Many large commodity benchmarks come with inherent disadvantages for long-term investors, so in 2006, we developed our own investment approaches based on analyses of the structural characteristics of commodities markets to offer investors long-term outperformance with moderate volatility. The massive structural shift from fossil fuels to metals offers excellent new opportunities for investors.
