Investment Approach

How We Work

At Retro Fund Management AG, our investment approach translates our philosophy into a structured, disciplined process. We believe that consistency, clarity, and oversight are essential to effective investment management.

Our approach is designed to support long-term outcomes while maintaining flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions.

Client Onboarding & Mandate Definition

Every relationship begins with a clear understanding of the client’s objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, and constraints.

We work closely with clients to define:

  • Investment objectives and priorities
  • Risk profile and acceptable volatility
  • Liquidity requirements
  • Investment guidelines and restrictions

This forms the foundation of each mandate and ensures alignment from the outset.

Portfolio Construction

Portfolios are constructed using a structured framework that emphasises diversification, risk awareness, and strategic balance.

Key considerations include:

  • Strategic asset allocation
  • Diversification across asset classes and strategies
  • Risk-adjusted positioning
  • Alignment with the agreed mandate

Portfolio construction decisions are guided by disciplined analysis and long-term objectives rather than short-term market movements.

Investment Selection

Investment opportunities are assessed through a careful and selective process. We evaluate potential investments based on their fundamental characteristics, risk profile, and suitability within the overall portfolio.

Only investments that meet our internal criteria and align with the mandate objectives are considered for inclusion.

Risk Management & Oversight

Risk management is embedded throughout our investment process. We continuously monitor portfolios to ensure that exposures remain within agreed parameters.

Our risk oversight includes:

  • Ongoing assessment of portfolio risks
  • Monitoring of concentration and exposure levels
  • Review of market and macroeconomic developments
  • Timely adjustments where appropriate

This disciplined oversight supports capital preservation and portfolio resilience.

Monitoring & Review

Portfolios are reviewed on a regular basis to assess performance, risk exposure, and continued alignment with client objectives.

Reviews consider:

  • Portfolio composition and strategy
  • Performance relative to objectives
  • Market developments and potential impacts

Where adjustments are required, they are implemented thoughtfully and within the agreed framework.

Reporting & Communication

Transparency is a core element of our approach. Clients receive regular reporting and clear communication designed to provide meaningful insight into their portfolios.

We maintain open dialogue and are available to discuss portfolio developments, strategy, and market conditions as required.

Disciplined & Independent Execution

As an independent firm, we are able to implement our approach without external product pressures. This independence supports objective decision-making and reinforces alignment with client interests.

Our investment approach reflects Swiss standards of discipline, responsibility, and professionalism.
