ansa capital management is an investment boutique. Owner-managed, self-invested and independent.
We focus on developing and implementing global total return and absolute return strategies on a quantitative basis. Global Macro is our passion.
For us, total return means taking responsibility for the performance and risk of a portfolio independent of a benchmark. Our absolute return strategies focus on fixed risk targets and the achievement of market-independent returns.
Building on the scientific knowledge of the last 50 years and curiosity about new methods in modern portfolio management, we implement investment decisions in a disciplined manner. Traceable causalities and active risk management are indispensable for us. Binding rules are important for this. The success driver of all strategies is a stringent investment process.
At ansa capital management you will find young professionals and very experienced portfolio managers in a special symbiosis. We are characterized by a high professional standard in everything we do. We appreciate the special working environment of a focused investment boutique. We all share passion for capital markets and quantitative models.
We take time for dialogue and are personal contacts and knowledge providers for our investors.

Investment Approach:
We follow a long-term systematic global macro strategy. The investment universe consists of global equities (0-100%), global government bonds (0-200%), commodities (0-30%) and currencies (-20% to +20%). Investment in each market is made with listed equity and government bond futures and ETCs. Asset allocation is derived from the macroeconomic environment via a quantitative model and is complemented by active risk management. The adaptive target risk approach controls the investment level without changing the optimal asset allocation.
Investment Objective:
The fund employs a total return strategy with the objective to generate a long-term high appreciation in Euro taking into account the investment risk. Its global macro strategy uses quantitative methods to diversify across all key global equities, bond and commodities markets, while taking their individual risk contributions into account. The active management of the strategy is based only on the investment objectives and is not constrained by a benchmark.
