Why umbrella funds make sense
Broad Risk Diversification
Investing in multiple funds ensures a broader distribution of opportunities and risks and reduces dependence on individual positions.
Selection Based on Clear Criteria
The key factor is which fund managers, approaches, and functions work together effectively.
Structure Instead of a One-Off Solution
A fund of funds follows an overarching structure. This results in a portfolio in which each component plays a specific role.
Ongoing classification
Changes in the markets and in the funds are continuously monitored in order to consistently refine the portfolio's structure.
Find the right umbrella fund.
Funds of funds invest in selected funds and each follow a clear strategy. They differ in terms of investment objective, risk profile, and investment horizon.
