I am most interested in clients who can take a long view and are prepared to recognize that any successful investment program resembles a marathon rather than a sprint. I haven't found any shortcuts to investment success and I am not even looking. A sufficiently long investment horizon allows me to ignore speculative market movements and instead bet on long-term developments that are much easier to anticipate.
I am agnostic as to what will happen in the near future but confident enough to place a number of well-calculated long-term bets. Don't ever ask me what the market will do next month or next year — I don't know.
Please keep in mind that my investment approach only works if I can work with a minimum of 5 million CHF (or an equivalent amount in a different currency). I need to access a sufficient number of managers above their own minimum and concentrate my efforts around a limited number of client relationships. I want to keep my focus on finding excellent investments and not let the company degenerate into a marketing-driven investment company with an inner urge for endless client infotainment.
You can choose your custodian bank as long as it is situated in Switzerland but I might have some useful suggestions. I run asset management mandates on a discretionary basis; the contract gives me the right to buy and sell securities and investment funds through an account in your name but I will not be able to withdraw or wire money. I take on advisory mandates in exceptional cases and only for professional clients.
If you are faced with the challenge of finding a home for your money, please feel free to contact me. You can call or send an email via my website (see “Contact”). I don't like to send out material to people I haven't met before. If you are interested in a mandate, simply come by for a non-binding personal meeting!
