Initially there was
just the pain seeing asset managers come to Germany with a lot of enthusiasm
and a seemingly endless budget and waving them good-bye once their budget
was depleted and their hopes distroyed. Then I figured there must be a better
way for them to work and sell their services here.
Then werecalled
what had fascinated our senior MD most in his professional carreer.
It was "convexity"
in fixed income. As a fund manager you can (and should) add
convexity. In fact, the more you own the better your portfolio
performs in rising and falling rates scenarios.
If you don't offer your clients the choice they will get the choice elsewhere and choose another supplier.
That created the whole business idea. Providing convexity to the asset management business(financial maths), providing sharper vision (optics) and building bridges between asset managers and the German speaking markets.
We are comitted to provide our clients with Asset Management products or services that meet our clients' requirements and are tailor-made to their asset allocation desires. At the same time we are committed to provide our principals with access to one hell of an exciting market.
We haven't started this business to sell products. Contrary to most, we are looking to explore opportunities to add value by providing our clients with suppliers of products which will enhance their overall performance. We are delivering producers to your doorstep that cannot or do not wish to afford their own presence in this market. We have seen too many managers come and go.
These products should enable our clients and principals to do an even better job. Be it adding such product to our clients' investment portfolio or selling your product.
It is our aim to become part of this improvement process.
