Asset Management

INTRODUCTION

Our approach to Asset Management.

At Global Trust Investment Bank we are ensuring that our products seek to meet the needs of today’s investors, developing a successful range of products, driven by innovation, with a focus on simplicity and value that allow investors to follow the stock market – but without the associated pitfalls. Structured products are investment products available to the public whose repayment value derives from the development of one or several underlying assets. Underlying assets are investments such as Shares, Interest, foreign Currency or Raw Materials such as Gold, Crude Oil, Copper or Sugar. Structured products are a combination of a traditional Investment (e.g. Bond) and a Derivative Financial Instrument. Legally, structured products are obligations for whose fulfillment the issuer is liable with all of its as importance to the investor.

Thanks to this affiliation, our portfolio managers have access to the latest market information and financial analyses. Our services focus on structuring your investments in such a way, that your wealth is preserved even in times of turbulence in the marketplace and can continuously accumulate over the long term.

OUR ASSET MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

Market Return-Oriented Strategies.

Be it Bonds, Stocks or Real Estate, each capital market has its own character that can materialize in the form of long-term gains just as well as in short-term price volatility. Market-return oriented investment strategies take into account these long- and short-term proclivities and take advantage of the opportunities they offer. Ultimately, the yardstick of success comes from comparing the return actually achieved versus the return generated by the relevant market as a whole. However, you determine the extent of strategic asset allocation. This is because your personal risk profile defines the various weightings of Stocks, Bonds, Real Estate and other Investment types within your portfolio. In keeping with your investor profile and degree of risk tolerance, the spectrum of strategies ranges from interest income, i.e. regular dividend and coupon payments with the least possible risk involved, to Conservative, Balanced and Dynamic, all the way to the riskiest strategy, Equities. For all of these market-return oriented strategies, we therefore always recommend a mixture of individual Investment types.

Target Return-Oriented Strategies.

Individual Investment Strategies.

Overarching financial and financing issues, pinpoint calls on liquidity, special extraneous circumstances or a personal interest in investing frequently justify an individualized investment strategy. Here, the first step is to analyze the client’s current financial status by means of quantitative methods such as an asset/liability study. Specific types of Investment are then chosen in a way that meets the requirements of the client’s personal situation. Individualized Investment strategies can embrace individually suitable Securities or specific Investment sectors and themes. But they can also involve comprehensive investment portfolios.
