Capital Preservation

When interest rates are persistently low, investors can only achieve their investment goals by shifting from low-volatility investments to more volatile or illiquid ones -and this can bring significant risk of loss. If investors want to remain resilient to risk even in times of crisis, they need reliable risk-management solutions.

Or solutions to your requirements can include:

• Steady income to cover contractual payment obligations
• Flexible solutions for corporate pension schemes
• Fixed minimum returns for funding pension commitments
•  Short to medium-term investment of available capital in highly liquid investment vehicles
• Caution investing with a focus on capital preservation adjusted to include sustainability aspects upon request
