Investment Management
Transparent. Cost-Efficient. Well-Founded.



Our Approach

ECOFIN has been creating value for institutional and larger private investors for more than 30 years. Our asset management offers an excellent combination of individual, risk-oriented advice and cost-effective implementation.

We cannot systematically forecast the financial markets; nobody can. But with our approach we can determine the best portfolio for your institution or for yourself and implement it cost-effectively. For this purpose, we take into account scientific findings and make use of our in-depth understanding of financial markets, as well as the understanding of our clients’ requirements which we have built up over the years.

Prof. Dr. Martin Janssen, CEO and founder of the ECOFIN Group

„The most important success factor in investing the assets of any client is determining the right investment strategy. This is a comprehensive, often complex task. At ECOFIN we have the theoretical and practical knowledge to master this task.”

Prof. Dr. Martin Janssen, CEO and founder of the ECOFIN Group

YOUR BENEFITS

COMPREHENSIVE ADVICE

We have specialized in offering a comprehensive solution for your investment: We provide first-class advice for determining a goal-based and risk-oriented investment strategy. Before implementing the investment strategy, we test it against our market scenarios using Monte Carlo simulations and stress tests. The actual implementation takes place at very low cost. The portfolio is monitored daily over time. We also consolidate several portfolios if there are several portfolio managers.

INDIVIDUAL

We will develop an individual investment strategy for you or your institution that balances your assets, your goals and your risk tolerance.
ECOFIN defines a specific benchmark for each client that accurately reflects this strategy. The benchmark is calculated daily so that you can check at any time how the portfolio is complying with the strategy.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The most important element of risk management is the investment strategy, which is geared to the obligations of your institutions or your personal goals. In this way, many risks can be implicitly eliminated.
With the help of Monte Carlo simulations, stress tests and scenario analyses, we determine which strategy best suits your goals and risk tolerance.
This gives you the certainty of knowing that you have the right investment strategy, even in turbulent market phases.

INDEPENDENCE AND TRANSPARENCY

ECOFIN Portfolio Solutions AG is independent of banks, product providers and other suppliers. We only use third-party investment products that we have evaluated according to strict rules. We guarantee you full transparency on costs and performance at all times.

RETURN ADVANTAGE THROUGH COST ADVANTAGE

Thanks to our pooling platform, we can offer costs that are otherwise only achievable for assets that are several times larger. Lower costs are directly reflected in higher returns.

INDEXED IMPLEMENTATION

Wherever possible, we use passively managed investment funds that track explicit stock or bond indices.
This ensures that your portfolio is fully diversified in each asset class. No unnecessary risks are taken through active management, which on average are not compensated over time.
