Asset Management

IT’S TIME FOR ACTIVE ASSET MANAGEMENT.

Investment Methodology

Rule-based Asset Management.
The way to improve significantly the chances of success.

Our forward-looking investment methodology is the result of sound know-how, clearly defined investment processes and many years of expertise in asset management.

Most investment decisions are made subjectively. At eCAPITAL, we deliberately do things differently. Our investment decisions are rule-based and systematically implemented. This enables us to act free of cognitive limitations. Emotional wrong decisions and uncertain forecasts are avoided.

No “benchmark thinking” but a clear over- and underweighting of the asset classes. This gives investors the potential for an attractive excess return over traditional investment strategies and protection in times of crisis.

Thanks to our specially developed IT infrastructure, we can evaluate up to 28’000 companies based on 100 key financial figures. Of the 100 key figures, we have combined 10 robust criteria that enable us to identify companies with the greatest performance potential. We filter out the best ETFs (more about ETFs ) according to cost, liquidity, tracking error and replication type.

Buy and sell decisions are based on our proven trading signals, which dynamically adapt to current financial markets.

Experience has shown that there are times in the financial markets when it is worth taking risks and times when it is not. Analogous to a weather station, our trading signals indicate whether it makes sense to pack an “umbrella” or not.

Offer

In order to find the right investment solution for you, we consider your risk tolerance, risk capacity and expected returns. You choose the investment strategy and we take care of the rest.

We offer you investment solutions in the areas of equities, bonds, real estate, precious metals, multi-CTA and multi asset portfolios.

The focus is on the relationship between the expected return and the risk taken: we specifically aim for added value in the form of a higher return with lower risk at the same time.

The strategic asset structure is an essential prerequisite for long-term investment success. It is based on the recognition that individual asset classes do not develop in the same way over time. If they are sensibly combined (multi-asset), the risk is lower than when investing in a single asset class.

MULTI ASSET MANDATE / SINGLE ASSET MANDATE
  • Based on your individual risk profile, you have the option of selecting the optimum investment strategy for you from five.
  • For each strategy, bandwidths are defined for each asset class within which the ratios for bonds, equities, real estate, precious metals, etc. can move.
  • You can rest assured that your assets are always invested in line with market developments and your risk profile.
  • Our investment strategies can be flexibly adapted to your individual requirements, for example in the selection of asset classes and their bandwidths (e.g. BVG/BVV2), as well as with regard to the targeted risk and return targets.

Your money is deposited with one of our partner banks and covered by the statutory deposit insurance. Each client opens a bank custody account in his name at the beginning of the cooperation, for which we only receive a limited power of attorney. The funds flow exclusively from a client’s account to his custody account and back to his account at the end of the cooperation or in the event of withdrawals. We attach great importance to ensuring that you receive and understand the relevant information in a transparent and comprehensive manner.

Our power of attorney can be terminated daily.

We prefer to work with selected banks. We have agreed preferential conditions with our partner banks and have operational facilities in place.

You decide at what intervals and to what extent you receive reporting. Of course, it is possible to set up an online securities account view so that you can access your securities account balances at any time, regardless of the agreed reporting interval.

We are convinced that investment success in the markets can only be achieved with genuine independence. This is precisely why eCAPITAL is a completely independent financial services institution. This is also reflected in our holistic approach to asset management.

At regular intervals, we will ask you about your investment objectives, your financial situation and your knowledge and experience in order to ensure the suitability of the strategies. If, due to personal, family or financial developments, the previously determined risk appetite no longer suits you, we would ask you to contact us by e-mail at support@ecapital.ch or by telephone at +41 41 660 63 35.
