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. 

In the ser­vice area you will find detail­ed infor­ma­ti­on about our UCITS funds.

Using our PAM funds as an exam­p­le, risk con­trol is both proac­ti­ve and reactive.
Proactive risk con­trols include rest­ric­tions on levera­ge and posi­ti­on sca­ling, ali­gned with pro­duct vola­ti­li­ty and return targets. 

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.
