Global Quality
arvy Equity in a Nutshell
Relaunched in 2023, arvy manages the arvy equity fund, embracing the philosophy that investing is more art than science. Over the past decade, we have developed a screening model to identify companies with a “Good Story & Good Chart,” meaning they possess quality characteristics and demonstrate solid compounding performance. This strategy has previously been ranked in the top 10% over 3 and 5-year periods.
Our concentrated portfolio of 30 holdings can be utilized as a core component for any equity portfolio or as a diversifier to an ETF portfolio due to its high active share. The fund is available in USD (base currency), CHF (hedged), and EUR (hedged), with all classes featuring a 1% management fee (NO performance fee).
5-year track record
Net Performance
We believe that achieving outperformance requires diverging from the crowd, which is why we typically hold 30 names globally. Re-launched in December 2023, our strategy has, over the past five years and net of fees, outperformed global equities (incl. emerging markets), while also lowering overall investment risk. The result? A Risk/Reward ratio of 0.94 versus 0.65.
The performance statistics in the chart and the column are net of management fees (TER 1.24%). The management of the previous fund was handed over on 14.12.2022. 14.12.2022 – 14.12.2023 our portfolio is continued as a model portfolio. From 15.12.2023 arvy equity fund
