Asset Management Services

At Nemesis Asset Management AG, our Asset Management division is built to serve the sophisticated needs of individuals, families, foundations, and institutions through bespoke portfolio and fund management. We deliver strategies that integrate intelligent portfolio structuring, high-conviction investment selection, disciplined risk management, and advanced tax optimization — all within a robust, research-driven framework.

Each mandate is crafted with precision, aligning every layer of decision-making with the client’s objectives, constraints, and long-term vision. Whether managing global multi-asset portfolios or thematic investment vehicles, our focus remains constant: delivering resilient performance with clarity, control, and consistency.

Portfolio Management

At Nemesis Asset Management AG, we recognize that substantial wealth comes with complex — and often conflicting — financial objectives. Whether stewarding a family’s legacy, a trust’s mandate, or an institutional endowment, effective asset management starts with the architecture that holds it all together.

Our portfolio structuring and optimization approach builds this architecture with surgical precision: selecting the right banking jurisdictions, legal wrappers, and holding vehicles; integrating fiscal constraints; and layering multi-asset allocation to balance liquidity, time horizons, and regulatory realities.

The result? A resilient and optimized investment platform that safeguards capital, enhances operational clarity, and enables purpose-aligned execution across borders and generations.

Investment Strategies

Once structure is in place, strategy takes the wheel. At Nemesis Asset Management AG, investment management is never “one-size-fits-all” — it’s a high-conviction, research-driven discipline crafted around the client’s unique profile, ambitions, and sensitivities.

Our team designs bespoke portfolios built on rigorous macroeconomic analysis, thematic conviction, and bottom-up security selection. We calibrate for volatility tolerance, cash flow needs, ethical considerations, and sector preferences — crafting a living portfolio that evolves as you do.

Whether navigating turbulent markets, capturing asymmetric opportunities, or expressing bold convictions, our strategies pursue outperformance with discipline — always aligned to your goals, always anchored in reality.

Risk Management

Risk is an inseparable part of investing — but it should never be accidental. At Nemesis Asset Management AG, we don’t just tolerate risk; we interrogate it, steer it, and control it with precision. Our responsibility is to ensure that every risk taken is intentional, compensated, and aligned with the client’s broader objectives.

We deploy a rigorous framework of real-time oversight, scenario analysis, stress-testing, and governance discipline to ensure that portfolio exposures remain within clearly defined parameters — parameters rooted in each client’s personal goals and capital preservation mandates.

Unintended risks are proactively identified and neutralized. The aim is not to avoid risk, but to prevent damage: no chasing speculative upside at the expense of what matters most — long-term resilience and capital integrity. In volatile times or stable ones, our clients benefit from clarity, confidence, and control — not just in their portfolios, but in their peace of mind.

Tax Efficiency

In today’s global investment environment, taxes are not an afterthought — they are a primary force shaping real returns. Cross-border regulations, evolving tax codes, and jurisdictional complexity require not just awareness, but mastery.

At Nemesis Asset Management AG, we embed tax intelligence into every layer of portfolio architecture — from structure selection and asset allocation to long-term capital planning. Our deep knowledge of international tax regimes and local regulatory frameworks ensures that strategies are effective, compliant, and optimized for after-tax performance.

Through our network of expert legal and fiscal partners, we align each client’s investment design with their personal goals and risk profile — while proactively mitigating tax drag and anticipating future policy shifts. The result: less friction, more clarity, and greater value — not just today, but across generations.

Investment Philosophy & Process

At Nemesis Asset Management AG, investment philosophy is the lens through which portfolio and fund management decisions are made — clear, rigorous, and anchored in purpose. Unlike trend-driven investing, our framework emphasizes preparation over prediction, patience over noise, and enduring value over fleeting momentum. The following principles define how we think, assess, and allocate capital in an increasingly complex world.

Foundational Principles

Client-Centric Thinking. No strategy begins with the market — it begins with the client. Every investment philosophy we uphold is shaped around personal values, liquidity needs, risk sensitivities, and long-term objectives. Our conviction is that relevance precedes return.

Uncompromised Objectivity. Our team operates with full independence. We do not manufacture products, chase commissions, or bend to institutional bias. Decision-making is governed by analytical integrity, not emotion or external influence.

Long-Term Discipline. We reject the reactive, headline-chasing approach. Our process prioritizes clarity, valuation, and margin of safety. Staying invested through cycles, holding conviction amid volatility, and waiting for the right opportunities are hallmarks of our approach.

Investment Process

1. Strategic Idea Generation

We build our investment universe from the bottom up — identifying resilient companies and scalable business models. What we seek is not short-term performance, but enduring quality. Our toolkit includes:

Deep-dive equity research
Sector-specific macro filters
Qualitative assessment of leadership
Structural growth trend alignment
Continuous pipeline evaluation

2. Business & Asset Characteristics

Our ideal candidates — be they public equities or fund allocations — share certain characteristics:

Structural tailwinds, not cyclical dependence
High returns on incremental capital
Organic growth and capital reinvestment discipline
Asset-light operations with pricing power

3. Clear Avoidance Criteria

We deliberately sidestep investments that:

Require leverage to survive
Operate in commoditized, low-margin environments
Lack strategic direction or shareholder alignment

4. Adaptability in a Shifting

World Great businesses evolve. So do great portfolios. We look for management teams with proven adaptability and operational agility — and mirror that same responsiveness in our asset allocation decisions.

From Belief to Execution

Conviction That Compounds

We believe value accrues over time — not through constant rotation, but through strategic patience. We allocate decisively where conviction is strongest and protect capital where uncertainty prevails.

Risk as Downside, Not Volatility

True risk isn’t fluctuation — it’s the erosion of capital or credibility. Our philosophy anchors risk management in loss avoidance, allocation discipline, and rigorous oversight.

Bias Mitigation

Behavioral pitfalls are the enemy of sound investing. That’s why our process favors collective decisions, documented rationale, and rational pacing over emotion, mood, or timing illusions.

Illustrative Examples

Meta (Facebook)

An evolving platform with recurring revenues and adaptive leadership. From mobile reinvention to content monetization via Instagram Reels, Meta exemplifies strategic reinvestment and operational leverage.

Amazon

A masterclass in economies of scale and strategic reinvestment. By turning infrastructure into a platform, Amazon continuously reinforces its economic moat while delaying commoditization.

Endurance, Not Timing

Time in the Market Beats Timing the Market

We do not try to outguess short-term market moves. Missing even a few strong days can devastate long-term returns. Resilience, not reactivity, wins.

The Inflation Imperative

Inflation is not just a macro factor — it’s a slow tax on capital. Equities and productive assets, when chosen wisely, offer a sustainable hedge. Our philosophy favors real return over nominal illusion.

The Compounding Mindset

Compounding is not a tactic — it’s a law of wealth creation. Our strategies are designed to avoid permanent loss and maximize compounding potential across cycles.

Our Promise

We invest with the future in mind — reallocating when business fundamentals change, not because of market chatter. Every holding must justify its place. Our mandate is to create portfolios that grow, adapt, and protect.

This philosophy is not an idea — it’s a discipline. It guides our work, defines our client relationships, and distinguishes Nemesis Asset Management AG as a partner in true long-term wealth creation.

Let’s build something that endures.
