A diversified portfolio

Diversification is central to our investment approach. It results from asset allocation decisions made by each depositor in accordance with their investment policy.

We take diversification into account in terms of risk factors as well as asset classes, geographic markets and sectors where we invest.

Our asset classes

We enable our depositors to allocate their funds to specialized portfolios that hold securities of the same type. The vast majority of these portfolios is managed actively, primarily internally.
