Convincing performance
The objective of all MIXTA OPTIMA mixed assets is to outperform their respective benchmarks over the long term. Through active management at the level of tactical asset allocation, as well as in the independent selection of the underlying investment vehicles, attractive results have been achieved over the years. The track record is convincing.
IST MIXTA OPTIMA 25 was launched in April 1990 and has one of the longest track records among its peers. With an annualized performance of 4.95% (Cat. III, as of 31.12.2023), the long-term performance record of IST MIXTA OPTIMA 25 is convincing:
- The fulfillment of the long-term performance targets was generated through active management while adhering to the strategic bandwidths.
- By avoiding a procyclical investment pattern, a risk-adjusted added value independent of market cycles results compared to the benchmark.
Active management pays off
The growing focus on asset management costs has led to the triumph of passive investment management over the past two decades. However, this raises the question of whether one wants to be at the mercy of market indices - even in times of falling prices. A targeted risk reduction within the permitted investment guidelines can prove to be a decisive advantage, especially in difficult market phases.
It is not the wind that determines the direction of travel, but the sails. We have dedicated ourselves to this principle in our entire IST MIXTA OPTIMA family. With this approach, the weighting of the individual LOB/LPP asset classes in IST MIXTA OPTIMA 25 has been continuously adjusted to market conditions.
- The active weighting of certain asset classes is based on the attractiveness of their risk premiums. For example, CHF bonds were significantly underweighted during the entire zero interest rate phase in favor of yield-oriented NAV-valued Swiss real estate.
- The tactical implementation complements the investment strategy and takes into account the current stock market environment. It is opportunistic and has a shorter investment horizon.
