Where is my money and in what name?

Your assets are held in your name at the custodian bank you choose. OLZ only works with designated custodian banks. You grant us a limited power of attorney so that we can manage the assets in accordance with the mandate agreement. The limited power of attorney allows us to manage your assets, but does not permit any deposits or withdrawals outside the account/custody relationship.

How secure is OLZ as an asset manager?

We manage your assets in your name, at the custodian bank of your choice. There is therefore no counterparty risk to OLZ.OLZ is owned by its partners, employees and board members, which ensures stability and continuity. OLZ has also been supervised by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA since 2007 and is audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers AG.We attach great importance to ensuring that you receive and understand the relevant information in a transparent and comprehensive manner. In regular review meetings, we discuss the portfolio with you personally and explain what we do and why we do it.

How are retrocessions handled?

All retrocessions have been transparently disclosed and fully credited to clients since our inception in 2001. Today, we have negotiated competitive net terms with all custodian banks, so no retrocessions are paid at all.

Why does OLZ have no performance fees?

Performance fees are always one-sided and can lead to conflicts of interest by speculating with your money and taking too much risk. Because that gives the asset manager an opportunity to earn more. If things go well, you pay more fees; if things go badly, the asset manager pays you nothing. The interests of the client and the asset manager are therefore not the same, although this is often suggested.

Wealth Management Wealth Management for Private Clients

As an asset management company, we always seek appropriate solutions for the different needs of our private clients, offering the greatest possible flexibility. Your personal wealth goal is at the center of everything we do. Because long-term added value with optimized portfolios corresponds to our core values.

Your personal OLZ portfolio could look like this

As an asset manager, it is our job to put together a portfolio that is tailored to you so that you can achieve your goals in the long term. With our OLZ investment calculator, you can try out for yourself what this portfolio could look like. This way, you can see at a glance what we also see and test how the share of stocks relates to your chosen risk tolerance in the portfolio.

What this means for you is that, given your chosen risk tolerance, you have more equity exposure in OLZ portfolios than in conventional portfolios.

More shares with the same risk = higher return

But why is the proportion of equities in your portfolio important?

In the long term, equities generate a significantly better return than bonds, but they are also much riskier by comparison.

We counteract this problem. The OLZ portfolio offers you a higher equity quota with the same risk.

Thanks to a risk-optimized composition of the portfolio, you can hold up to #{riskTolerance} equities with OLZ as an asset manager with a balanced risk profile, while a conventional portfolio offers only #{riskToleranceOther} equities. And this without increasing the risk.

You thus improve your long-term return - by optimally utilizing your risk budget.

Scientifically sound investment concept

How can OLZ offer a higher proportion of equities at the same level of risk?

We optimize the composition of equities on the basis of risk characteristics and, in the case of bonds, focus on first-class debtors for optimal diversification. To do this, we analyze comprehensive data based on our scientifically founded investment concept. This systematic approach and its strict implementation lead to a more stable performance.

This is how your OLZ portfolio would have behaved in recent years:

You see: The specific OLZ portfolio optimization allows a higher equity quota and thus achieves a higher long-term return potential compared to the market average without taking higher risks. But even if you do not increase the equity quota, they achieve a higher long-term return than the market average - simply with a lower risk than usual.
