One day, financial markets are surging upward, the next day they are on the cautious side, and then they plummet. For you as an investor it is really a challenge to keep up with these unpredict-able developments. What can you do? Is there a formula for investing your assets over the long term?

Our guiding principle is: “Security over return”. We manage our company as well as our investment activities on that basis. In other words, for us it is not short-term success, but sustained growth of client assets that is paramount. We also focus on high-quality companies with sustainable prof-itability and stable growth. Those are known as defensive growth stocks.

Our Head of Investment Management, Konstantinos Ntefeloudis, will explain in the following short video how you can structure your portfolio in just as stable a way as we manage our clients’ assets so that it can weather the stormy times. (video only available in German.)
