Investment Process
Amongst other things, our investment process is based on the following principles:
- We are active managers, as we do not view the capital markets as efficient.
- Our goal is to generate long-term additional returns compared to the market and the competition.
- The main pillars of our business are successful, experienced fund managers with demonstrated ability to generate alpha and logical, transparent investment processes, which are well documented and are practiced consistently in our day-to-day operations.
- Generation of additional returns (alpha) is mainly based on fundamental research, supported with quantitative models.
- A number of independent strategies are pursued in the interests of risk diversification, and no single strategy is pre-dominant.
Based on the investments which are undertaken, the funds managed by Raiffeisen KAG also have membership and creditor rights, which we exercise in line with the principles we have formulated in these regards.
Provision of quality services is ensured by a suitable organisational framework at Raiffeisen KAG. This includes the structural and procedural organisation that has been developed, the internal controlling system and state-of-the-art risk management. A proprietary process has been established for the selection of external management partners, which ensures that Raiffeisen KAG only cooperates with contractual partners which guarantee the prudent, correct provision of services.
