“In order to reduce risks in asset management, the investment strategy for each client must be determined according to goals and obligations. We have the expertise to understand your situation in order to find the right investment strategy for you using scientific methods and to implement it cost-effectively”.

Alexandra Janssen, CEO ECOFIN Portfolio Solutions AG

INDIVIDUAL INVESTMENT SOLUTION

An investment strategy that is tailored to your personal needs contributes by far the most to investment success, because in this way many risks that are not compensated on the markets can be avoided.

We have the know-how and practical experience to find the best investment strategy for you using scientific methods. We take into account your asset structure, your investment objectives, your liquidity needs and your risk tolerance. We build on tried and tested financial market models and stress tests to determine the best investment strategy even in uncertain times.

Based on the individual investment strategy determined for you, we define your specific benchmark that reflects your investment strategy 1:1. Based on the development of the benchmark and the development of the specific portfolio, you can easily and transparently track the success of the specific implementation at any time.

COST-EFFECTIVE AND TRANSPARENT

Our investment solution is based on the ECOFIN platform, on which the capital of all investors is pooled virtually. This approach enables us to offer cost-effective services for individual investment solutions.

The ECOFIN platform offers investment products that can otherwise only be used in portfolios of large institutional investors.

We report all types of fees, the performance of the benchmark and your portfolio transparently and completely at all times.

YOUR ADVANTAGES

APPROPRIATE INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The investment strategy is the most important factor for long-term investment success. With the individual strategy, which is geared to your goals and your risk tolerance, you are optimally positioned – even in difficult market phases.

COST-EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION

When implementing the investment strategy in the specific portfolio, we use broadly diversified investment products with low product and custody account costs. We avoid speculation with individual securities.

YIELD ADVANTAGE THROUGH COST ADVANTAGE

Our solution is characterized by significantly lower costs compared to conventional investment solutions. The example below shows how important low costs are for a high return.

KEEPING AN OVERVIEW

Our solution is completely transparent and easy to understand. Your strategy is reflected with an explicit benchmark and is continuously compared with the value of the portfolio. In this way, you can easily check the quality of our service and the performance of your portfolio at any time. We provide you with a comprehensive and easy-to-understand report on a regular basis.

INDEPENDENCE AND TRANSPARENCY

Our independence from banks and other providers ensures that we can represent your interests effectively and efficiently. We do not sell our own investment products and provide detailed information on costs and performance.

STABILITY

With us you have a partner who will support you in the long term with comprehensive experience.
As a family-managed asset manager, we know the importance of stability and reliability. We invest accordingly in long-term relationships with our clients.

LOW COSTS AS A SUCCESS FACTOR

Costs are an essential success factor for the development of your assets. This becomes particularly apparent in times of negative interest rates. Calculation examples for capital accumulation and capital reduction show this fact very clearly:

CALCULATION EXAMPLE FOR CAPITAL ACCUMULATION

A portfolio of CHF 10 million is assumed.

If 4% instead of 3% per annum can be generated on this amount due to lower administrative costs, after 10 years the investment income will be CHF 4.8 million instead of CHF 3.4 million, i.e. CHF 1.4 million or 41% more.

CALCULATION EXAMPLE FOR CAPITAL REDUCTION

A portfolio of CHF 10 million is assumed.

You ask yourself how often CHF 0.5 million per year can be withdrawn from the portfolio if, on average, 4% instead of 3% is generated due to lower administrative costs. With a capital yield of 4% per year, this is a good 41 years. With an investment income of 3% per annum, it is around 31 years, i.e. 10 years less. In Swiss francs and in relation to the foundation assets, this is a huge difference.

POOLING

ECOFIN Portfolio Solutions AG was founded ten years ago at the suggestion of a large foundation with the aim of combining excellent consulting with low implementation costs.

Low advisory, management, custodian, product and transaction costs are a decisive factor in the success of a foundation, as is the reclaiming of withholding taxes on dividends from foreign shares. This is all the more true if projects are to be financed solely from the return on assets.

For this reason, ECOFIN has created a platform with a specialized value chain, where the division of labor and specialization lead to low costs. We pass on the cost advantages directly to our clients. Thanks to the virtual pooling of all clients’ assets, we can pass on the low prices even for smaller assets.
