Tailor-made Fund of Hedge Fund-Portfolios

The Group

Swiss Capital Group is a Zurich-based, limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Switzerland. The group undertakes three core business activities: Asset Management, Corporate Finance and Structured Products.

Swiss Capital Group is wholly owned by its founding partners and employees. The group was founded in 1998 by several former senior managers from UBS.

The Company

Swiss Capital Alternative Investments AG (SCAI) is specialised in the fund of hedge fund-business. SCAI employs more than 50 people and is a licensed Securities Dealer under the regulation of the Swiss Federal Banking Commission. The track-record of SCAI goes back to 1998.

Our Investment Platform

Swiss Capital Alternative Investments AG has established a Dublin based platform with currently 130 investable single hedge funds. All these funds went through a rigorous strategic as well as operational due diligence and are continuously monitored (bottom-up approach).

The funds are combined in to funds of fund-portfolios on the basis of an in-house developed risk matrix. This allows us to construct fund of funds-portfolios with very specific risk-return-profiles aligned to the needs of our clients (top-down approach).

By following the above described approach, we design from the 130 investable single hedge funds

	7 theme-based fund of funds (modules),
	3 compositions of our theme-based fund of funds for institutional investors and
	tailor-made fund of funds-solutions for institutional investors.

Swiss Capital is able to actively manage its products on two levels:

	At the module level through the tactical management of the underlying single hedge funds and
	for tailor-made hedge funds portfolios, at the “mandate level” by strategically optimising the combination of the modules taking the investor’s overall portfolio and its targets into consideration.

Thanks to the attractive monthly liquidity of the 7 Swiss Capital modules, we can offer swift reaction at the “mandate level”. This is especially important in times of adverse change in the economic environment.

Our investment process

The Swiss Capital investment process combines qualitative and quantitative analyses on three levels (markets, portfolio & single hedge funds) with clearly defined responsibilities and accountabilities. In this way we combine top-down asset allocation with bottom-up manager selection in a robust qualitative and quantitative portfolio construction process.

The process starts with the top-down asset allocation, which is based on the product risk return objectives as well as market and style return forecasts. Asset allocation decisions, together with results of quarterly risk exposure analyses based on proprietary quantitative methodologies, guide manager research and portfolio construction efforts.
