Why invest?

  • To pursue higher absolute returns over the long term (more than five years) through an active, independent and unconstrained strategy.
  • To take advantage of the opportunities of a highly flexible solution with the aim of avoiding a permanent loss of value.
  • The Fund Manager is also Co-Founder of Flossbach von Storch AG; driven by passion and conviction, he also invests his own capital based on this strategy.

Opportunities

  • Flexible investment policy without benchmarking.
  • Risk is broadly diversified by investing in a range of asset classes (e.g. equities, bonds, convertible bonds and precious metals indirect). Market potential can be exploited by investing across a wide range.
  • Investing in assets denominated in a foreign currency can have a positive impact on unit values as a result of exchange rate movements.
  • Derivatives can be used to increase potential yields.
  • Precious metals (indirect) (e.g. in the form of gold) can be used to increase potential yields.

Risks

  • Market risks: The securities in which the Management Company invests the sub-fund assets present opportunities for gain but also the possibility of risk. If a sub-fund invests directly or indirectly in securities and other assets, it is subject to many general trends and tendencies on the markets, which are sometimes attributable to irrational factors, particularly on the securities markets. Losses can occur when the market value of the assets decreases against the cost price. If a unit holder disposes of units in a sub-fund at a time when the quoted price of the sub-fund assets is less than at the time of investment, then the unit holder will not recover the full value of the investment. While each sub-fund constantly strives to achieve growth, growth cannot be guaranteed. The risk exposure of the investor is, however, limited to the sum invested. There is no obligation to make additional capital contributions beyond investors' investments.
  • Currency risks: If a sub-fund holds assets which are denominated in foreign currencies, it shall be subject to currency risk. In the event of a devaluation of the foreign currency against the reference currency of the subfund, the value of the assets held in foreign currencies shall fall.
  • Credit risks: The fund may invest part of its assets in bonds. The issuers of these bonds could become insolvent, causing the bonds to lose some or all of their value.
  • Interest change risks: Investing in securities at a fixed rate of interest is connected with the possibility that the current interest rate at the time of issuance of a security could change. If the current interest rate increases as against the interest at the time of issue, fixed rate securities will generally decrease in value. Conversely, if the current interest rate falls, fixed rate securities will increase.
  • Risks relating to the use of derivatives: The fund may enter into derivative transactions for the purposes listed in the KIID and the sales prospectus. This means increased opportunities, but also increased risk of losses. The use of derivatives to hedge against losses may also reduce the profit opportunities of the fund.
  • Risks of precious metals and commodities: Precious metals and commodities may be subject to greater price fluctuations. Trading prices may also fall.
