The aim is to invest in the shares of best in class companies with proven business models and a stable dividend distribution.
The focus of our share selection process utilizes a bottom-up analysis of individual companies, their dividend policy and business prospects. We view the core company holdings as long-term investments. When we invest in a company, we ask ourselves: "Would we also buy and hold the entire company?"
The organization of Gutmann's equity fund management team is based on various investment sectors. Each fund manager follows specific sectors, analyses, investment opportunities and sector trends, which allows the manager to identify the most attractive companies and most interesting investment opportunities.

The portfolio consists of appoximately 60 individual shares. The success of your portfolio is not determined by the current trend found within the stock market. We invest globally in profitable companies who generate free cash flow. Our portfolio also includes some technology companies as well.

Your portfolio is tailored to you, your needs and your risk profile. With every investment, the possible return depends directly on the risk. Therefore, the higher the possible return, the higher the risk.
By spreading the investments into several different securities, the overall risk of the entire portfolio can be reduced. Nevertheless, individual risks cannot be ruled out. Investments assets found within money markets and capital markets are, among others, subject to the following risks: price risk, currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and operational risk. Your client advisor will gladly go into detail regarding these risks during your personal meeting.
