Investment service
Investment process
What is the way to a succesful relationship with UNFCU Financial Advisors:
Definition of:
• Investment profile (risk tolerance and risk capability)
• Investment horizon, goals and objectives
• Global view and analysis of all your assets
• Family situation (children, education, residence(s) )
• Living situation now and later (personal budget, retirement plans,
expenses versus income and capital)
• Plans (real estate, other major investments)
• Tax situation (Switzerland)
Investment philosophy
Diversification and balance:
Diversification across asset classes (together with the
appropriate asset weightings within portfolios) improves
long-term investment returns while reducing volatility.
Turnover erodes returns:
Excessive turnover, either of assets within portfolios or of
whole portfolios, contributes to long-term
underperformance.
Investment philosophy
Cost minimization is an important component of investment
management:
Investment management related costs, including fees and
transaction costs, will negatively affect performance
especially if such costs are compounded over long periods.
Determinants of performance:
Asset allocation and portfolio structure - more than
individual security selection or market timing - are the
principal components of investment performance.
