• Optimized Sampling Portfolio Management

• Sustainable Investment Filtering

  The fund applies strict ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria to its investment universe, ensuring that only securities from issuers with responsible business practices are considered. This commitment to sustainable investing seeks to mitigate risks and promote long-term value creation within the fund.

• Focus on Swiss Franc-denominated Securities

  Investments are predominantly in bonds and similar income securities that are denominated in Swiss Francs (CHF).

This focus aims to provide investors with exposure to the stability and strength of the Swiss financial market and currency.
