Investment Strategy

The fund management focuses on companies with convincing structural growth and high long-term earnings. These companies are based in the euro area, but often operate globally. Based on fundamental stock selection, companies are selected that achieve sustainable growth over long periods of time with high profitability. Investments are made primarily in large caps as well as high-growth smaller and medium-sized stocks. The decisive criteria for these business models are high entry barriers, end markets with structural growth and excellent management teams.

Concentrated portfolio of about 50 stocks
All cap approach, i.e. exploiting investment opportunities across all market segments
Long-term investment horizon and therefore low portfolio turnover
Benchmark-agnostic approach
