Overall risk
Did you know ?
Since the subprime crisis and the Madoff affair, the question of toxic assets has arisen in day-to-day fund management. From a safety perspective, it is prudent not to invest in a fund whose composition is unknown (e.g. funds of funds, now offered by many banks). To ensure long-term viability, all of our investments are direct investments in known securities and large caps, thus ensuring complete transparency for our investors.
