ETHENEA − Fund Management
What sets us apart
The investment philosophy of the Ethna Funds
Capital preservation and achieving stable returns over the long term are key components of the investment philosophy of the Ethna Funds. So in every investment decision that we make, we take all potential risks into account. With this risk-conscious and loss-minimisation investment approach, we offer stability and minimisation of volatility.
We act transparently
In addition to timing, the performance of the Ethna Funds depends on achieving the right balance of asset classes in any market situation. This is something we regularly review and adjust when necessary.
We avoid unnecessary risks thanks to balanced investment strategies, incorporating a broad diversification of our portfolio across different sectors and asset classes.
When making investment decisions, we follow a systematic and verifiable process using objective criteria to determine asset class weightings and individual security selection.
We take responsibility
Each of our investment decisions is based on a high level of risk awareness, the goal of preserving the assets entrusted to us, and achieving stable returns over the long-term.
We not only manage the money invested with us as if it were our own, but also treat it with as much care as if the investor had handed us their entire liquid funds. Capital preservation is always our highest priority – as it is the difficult years that determine whether an investment is successful in the long term.
We decide independently
In our daily activities, we are independent from banks and financial institutions. Third-party market opinions and benchmarks are irrelevant for the composition of our portfolios. Instead, our experts’ continuously updated market analyses and forecasts are decisive, allowing us to quickly introduce new information and findings into our investment decisions.
