Every multi asset portfolio we manage is designed with clients' goals in mind. Our multi-asset franchise offers a range of strategies to meet the needs of Swiss investors.

Investors in Switzerland are faced with challenging market conditions. Yields on government bonds and investment grade companies are low and while equity markets still offer attractive return potential, they are accompanied by high volatility and challenging valuations. So what are the options for your investors?

Why now
Source: Pictet Asset Management, Bloomberg, data as at 30.09.2017
At Pictet Asset Management we believe successful asset allocation is the key to successful investing. By actively moving between asset classes, our experienced portfolio managers can take advantage of opportunities as they arise and help protect your investment from market fluctuations. 

Three things to look for in a multi asset manager

Experience and know-how - understanding the relationship between different asset classes is the basis of successful multi asset investing. This experience is only developed by managing assets over multiple market cycles.

A flexible and diverse mandate – a manager must have the flexibility to move between asset classes as different assets perform better in different market conditions. This may be between asset classes like equities and bonds or between different sectors and regions.

Resources and dedication – to invest across this broad range of assets, the portfolio manager must have the support of a large pool of portfolio managers and analysts who focus on the different asset classes.

Three complementary investment solutions

At Pictet Asset Management we offer three complementary multi-asset solutions with different risk return profiles specifically tailored to the needs of Swiss investors. Each of these strategies is well diversified across asset classes. This diversification, combined with our strict risk control process, is intended to reduce the chance of your client’s investment losing money, while allowing our managers plenty of flexibility to identify exciting investment opportunities.

Pictet CH-LPP 25

The fund invests in a portfolio of Swiss equities and bonds and is designed for investors looking for a diversified investment for the core of their portfolio. The objective is to generate a superior return to the Pictet 2000 LPP-25 benchmark, while controlling risk at all times. The investment managers tactically allocate between asset classes using investment funds managed by Pictet Asset Management. Pictet created the LPP indices and has been managing multi asset strategies for Swiss clients since 1967. 

Pictet CH-LPP 40

The fund uses the same investment approach as Pictet-LPP 25 but is designed for investors with a slightly higher tolerance to risk. In this case the objective is to generate a superior return to the Pictet 2000 LPP-40 benchmark. 

Pictet CH Target-LPP Multi Asset Flexible

This new fund has a more nimble approach and targets an absolute return of LIBOR +3% over 3 to 5 years. The fund offers a much broader diversification as in addition to bonds and equities, it can also invest in real estate and alternatives. This fund meets the needs of investors with a moderate risk appetite and it addresses very much the great challenge on low fixed income yields as well as the high valuation on equities.
