Fixed, high bond yields & reduction in yield curve risk
Additional Returns by Taking Advantage of the Yield Curve Effect
The goal of our balanced strategy is to achieve higher returns over the medium to long term compared to a portfolio consisting solely of fixed-income securities. The equity component offers exposure to stock market trends and is therefore the main driver of the strategy’s performance. The focus is on high-quality global companies whose industries benefit from key growth drivers. The bond component serves to diversify the portfolio, providing greater stability compared to an investment consisting solely of stocks. In addition, the steady interest payments from the bonds generate a recurring cash flow within the portfolio. This cash flow can be used for reinvestment to benefit from the compounding effect over the long term or can be withdrawn to meet liquidity needs. The diversification benefit of the mixed strategy is significant because, although bonds and stocks do correlate, one asset class often recovers sooner than the other.
Investment Strategy: Corporate Bonds
In the fixed-income sector, we focus on niche themes and special factors that lead to higher interest rates or bond yields. These include, for example, initial public offerings, bonds with an issuance volume of less than 100 million euros, or bonds not rated by the three major rating agencies. Special factors include crises that offer increased investment potential, such as the EU sovereign debt crisis, the current severe recession caused by the coronavirus pandemic, and so-called “fallen angels.”

Investment Strategy: Equities
The equity investment strategy is based on Munger’s value investing approach. The focus is on high-quality global companies that have competitive advantages over their rivals. This “moat” enables companies to achieve high margins and, consequently, a high return on total capital. These competitive advantages may include long-term patents or licenses, high stock exchange fees, or a strong brand. Companies that operate in growing markets and have a technological edge over their competitors are of particular interest. We find these companies primarily in the technology, healthcare, digitalization, and online consumer sectors.
