About us

We believe that, above all, statistically rigorous and robust market analysis reliably identifies continuous sources of alpha that exist due to inefficiencies in the behavior of market participants. We take a predominantly quantitative approach to all aspects of trading. Strategy selection, portfolio construction, execution and risk control are usually accompanied by algorithmic and systematic processes.

Our goal is to achieve a consistent, absolute return with an uncorrelated or negatively correlated performance result compared to various U.S. indices such as the S&P 500 index or the U.S. Government Bond index, as well as hedge fund indices. Our trading programs offer clear diversification benefits.

Investors who added our trading strategies to their portfolios benefited from above-average earnings in the medium to long term, while reducing risk of their overall portfolio (positive correlation effects).

We offer UCITS funds that have an excellent long-term track record, daily liquidity, and low to no correlation with other market indices. Brokerage services for fixed-income and structured products complete the investment offering.

We invest globally and primarily take a long/short approach, based on technically selected investments – we don’t chase market novelties as a matter of principle. Our investment strategies are based on long-term track records. Clients understand our processes and portfolios because they are transparent. Systematic analysis models are, among other things, the basis of our investment perspective.

Our typical exposure is about 1/4 of the maximum exposure, and sometimes our strategies can be completely out of the market. Proactive risk control continues to be provided through strategy diversification. Reactive risk controls involve a stop loss on positions.

Established financial centres such as New York, London and Singapore are increasingly facing competition from innovative, tax-friendly and well-regulated economies around the globe. We expect this trend to continue as long as technological advances continue to decentralize the financial industry.

Due to its recognised regulatory environment, an attractive tax system and its geographical location, Liechtenstein is rapidly rising in the financial world. There are no income taxes on assets under management at the fund level. Funds are not subject to VAT, and funds can even be considered tax-exempt parties . Finally, there are no withholding taxes to be paid on dividend distributions. In addition, the corporate income tax in Liechtenstein is only 12.5% – significantly lower than in many neighboring countries.

The official language is German, the official currency is the Swiss franc, and the country has deep economic ties to Switzerland and the European Economic Area. As a neighbour of Switzerland, Liechtenstein has long been associated with the Swiss banking sector and the talented employees who bring it to life. For investors, this means that fund managers based in Liechtenstein are likely to be among the best and brightest talents in the financial industry. At AIF Alternativ Invest Finance AG, we are proud of our roots in Liechtenstein.

Liechtenstein is one of only 12 countries in the world to receive the highest credit rating of AAA from Standard & Poor’s. This credit rating is largely due to the fact that Liechtenstein has absolutely no public debt . Since 2008, public debt has risen globally and it is almost impossible to find another developed economy that has absolutely no debt on its public balance sheet. In addition to this economic stability, there is a political environment that provides a high degree of legal certainty for new and existing companies. As a result, retail investors do not have to worry about regime change or political upheaval when choosing an independent asset manager in Liechtenstein.
