Investment Strategy

Strategy

The strategy of the past 10 years reflects both the Company’s power and the benefits offered to investors, essential aspects that placed us at the top of high-performance investment funds in Romania.

The purpose of the investment strategy is to bring consistency through portfolio performance and consistency through performance duration. On this basis we have designed a robust, well-articulated strategy that is reflected in performance on the level of all managed assets. We have focused on this granular approach for our portfolios, starting from the three strategic pillars:

Consolidation and increase of listed portfolio, the main income generator.
Increase of private-equity investments, our main differentiator.
Historic portfolio capitalization through sale.

Risk Management

Our risk management policy is carefully supervised as a key factor of our growth plan. We remain very focused on risk management and monitor it in terms of market, liquidity, issuer exposure, credit and counterparty risk, and of course, operational risk.

Our objective is the prudent management of risks so as to prevent the negative impact that internal or external factors may have on the Company’s activity, jeopardizing the fulfillment of set goals. Thus, we minimize the occurrence of unplanned or uncontrolled losses or the occurrence of other negative effects.

In determining risk appetite and tolerance, we take into account all relevant risks that we are exposed to given the nature of our activity, the predominant influence being that of market risk. The overall risk profile taken on is medium, corresponding to a medium risk appetite.
