 For private investors, it is very difficult to find the time and means necessary to identify the best opportunities for investing in hedge funds or private equity, to perform a detailed analysis of the different investment strategies and to closely track the performance of the products. It is with this in mind, that PAI selects the world's leading managers in their respective asset classes in order to offer our clients genuine added-value. Active management Funds that are actively managed allow our clients to achieve a level of portfolio diversification that they would not be able to achieve by investing directly in securities. As a result, our clients significantly reduce their exposure to risk while boosting the potential returns. A long-term approach We look to achieve long-term, consistent performance. To this end, we select experienced managers who draw on specific and disciplined investment processes, using effective risk monitoring tools. Pictet & Cie's open architecture The open architecture used by Pictet & Cie calls for an on-going and systematic search for the managers with the best management skills and best products inside and outside the Bank. This allows investors to make the most of the best financial products available on the market and to invest in a variety of investment sectors and strategies, thus significantly enlarging their investment universe. The approach will enable our clients to better manage risks by increasing the diversification of their portfolios. Our clients can gain access to the best external funds selected by Pictet & Cie through our range of third-party fund of funds. |
