Our investment solutions

Pictet Asset Management offers a range of active investment solutions for the Swiss equity market.

At Pictet Asset Management, we have been investing in Swiss equities since 1989 and offer a range of investment solutions for the Swiss equity market. Alongside traditional investment strategies for the overall market and for small and mid-cap stocks, the investment team has developed two very interesting investment solutions to manage Swiss equities: a long-short portfolio and a dividend fund.

The management team invests in solid and healthy companies with good management and clear business models identified through a bottom-up analysis of the investment universe and by leveraging our longstanding knowledge of the Swiss market. All our strategies are based on the same proven investment process.

  • Overall market investment solution
    The aim of this strategy is to invest in companies that are listed in Switzerland and included in the Swiss Performance Index, mainly blue chip stocks.
  • Mid and small-cap investment solution
    The aim of this strategy is to invest in mid and small-cap companies listed in Switzerland.
  • 130/30 investment solution
    Since 2007, we have managed a traditional long portfolio combined with a short portfolio, whereby the portfolio manager can enter a short position up to a maximum of 30% of the portfolio with a total limit of 100%. With the proceeds from the short position, the manager increases the traditional long positions, often adding to high conviction bets.
  • Focused dividend investment solution
    Given the current interest rate environment, an investment strategy was launched in 2015 which focuses on between 20 and 30 quality companies which are selected using our proven fundamental investment process. The portfolio composition is carefully derived from the market liquidity, the sustainable CFROI/CFROE ratio and the investment team’s estimates of dividend growth and dividend yield. The investment team aims to achieve an expected dividend yield of 100 to 150 basis points above the Swiss Performance Index.

Our investment funds have, in the past, been named best in their respective category by Morningstar (Swiss Large Cap and Swiss Small Cap Equity) and by Lipper (Swiss High Dividend and Swiss Mid Small Cap Equity).
