SWISS EQUITY STRATEGY WITH PERSPECTIVE AND COMPETENCE.

Whoever buys shares buys management. 

As a boutique fund, we support sophisticated investors and entrepreneurs with a deep understanding of the market and a clear focus on Swiss small and mid-caps.

We invest in companies with Entrepreneurial DNA, the Growth, margin strength and Capital discipline unite.

We invest selectively — with close access to management teams, a focus on small and mid-caps, and a clear focus on results.

Clarity over complexity. Substance before buzzwords. Partnership before transactions.

We think entrepreneurially, not index-driven.

Our goal: a 10% annual return over the cycle — without benchmark constraints.

Why Swiss equities?

  • Export Champions with global presence
  • Innovation leader in technology, industry and health
  • High margins & strong balance sheets – financial stability as a competitive advantage 
  • Sustainable growth potential through entrepreneurial spirit and market position

Investment philosophy
How to invest

THE EXPERT.

I invest the way I talk to entrepreneurs: clear, direct, long-term.

35+ years of market experience with a Swiss focus and passion for companies with character.

What sets us apart:

  • Proximity to management: >100 interviews per year at C-level in Switzerland

  • Targeted selection: Quality, growth, margins, capital discipline

  • Active management: Focus on the best ideas instead of breadth

  • Authentic communication: without filter, with content instead of staging, substance instead of buzzwords

Contact

THE EXPERTISE.

FOR WHOM ?

For entrepreneurs, family offices, qualified investors and decision-makers, who value active dialogue and our transparency with a view to substance and who seek sparring on an equal footing. 

And think, plan, and invest with discipline for the long term, recognize short-term volatility as an opportunity, be able and willing to invest countercyclically, and assess results absolutely, not relatively.

OUR STRENGTHS.

Space: resilient network in Swiss C‑Suites

Craft: Bottom-up selection, focus, positional discipline

Transparency: clear, rational, easily explainable investment case for each fund investment

Independence: No benchmark, no conflicts of interest, no politics

ASSIGNMENT AND CLAIM

Our promise:

  • Clarity in analysis

  • Consistency in implementation

  • Commitment in dialogue

WHAT WE ARE NOT.
