01 · Fund profile & philosophy

What this fund is built for.

Protector I Fund is designed to preserve wealth through a carefully balanced portfolio. By dampening fluctuations and limiting temporary declines, your total wealth stays clear and under control. Also in periods of stress. The fund does this by combining low-volatility sources of return.

Here risk comes before return. The portfolio is built within strict risk limits, with a focus on capital preservation and risk discipline.

That makes Protector I the foundation under a portfolio: calm, steady growth with a net target return of around 7% per year at moderate volatility.

02 · Why Protector I

Why investors choose this fund.

Broad diversification

Uncorrelated strategies spread the risk across multiple markets, currencies and asset classes.

Professional risk management

The fund follows a strict risk framework aimed at limiting volatility and drawdowns.

Institutional access

Access to professionally managed strategies that are normally reserved for larger institutional parties.

Operational simplicity

The fund handles selection, monitoring and periodic rebalancing within a structured risk framework.

Without the Protector I Fund you run the risk of:

taking unnecessary losses during market volatility,
missing the moments of recovery through emotional decisions,
staying dependent on unpredictable market timing.

With Protector I Fund you choose calm, control and reliability, also when others panic.

03 · Asset classes & diversification

Every position has a role.

A fund of funds with dynamic, discretionary allocation. The portfolio manager adjusts within the risk framework.

Market-neutral strategies core · stability regardless of market direction

Bonds interest income and dampening

Arbitrage capturing price and interest rate differences

Derivatives strategies hedging and risk control

Gold and commodities inflation buffer, limited weight

Many portfolios look diversified but turn out to be strongly correlated: in times of stress they all move in the same direction.

Large losses take years to recover. And it is exactly in those moments that the wrong decisions are made. Protector I Fund is designed to dampen those shocks structurally.

When markets turn restless you need a fund that does not move with the crowd. A fund that forms a defensive core through algorithmic monitoring and risk discipline, to protect your portfolio against unexpected shocks.

Ideal for: Conservative UHNW families, foundations and pension structures, or as a core allocation within a larger portfolio.

This fund has moderate volatility. That means the value of your participation can fluctuate, also over longer periods. Only invest money you can do without for the duration of the horizon (short to medium term · min. 1 year).

Portfolio allocation.

Five strategies with a deliberate spread across asset classes, currencies and risk sources.**

Bonds Currency denomination: EUR Currency denomination: EUR
Life insurance policies Currency denomination: USD, hedged to EUR Currency denomination: USD, hedged to EUR
Cash Currency denomination: EUR Currency denomination: EUR
Crypto market-neutral Currency denomination: USD, hedged to EUR Currency denomination: USD, hedged to EUR

**Indicative, equally weighted representation. Because of the monthly monitoring, this allocation can change every month.

Stability as the core strategy

This is not a fund that tries to ‘be right about the market’. It aims for a positive return over a full market cycle, with limited sensitivity to broad market direction.

Minimum investment horizon: 1+ year

Investment objectives: capital preservation and gradual growth.

Strict risk framework with predefined limits

Return through structure, not through market forecasts.

Low to moderate correlation with equity markets

Return from arbitrage, relative value and actuarial cash flows.

Fully currency hedged

EUR denominated fund. Currency exposure is systematically hedged to EUR.

05 · Track record & returns

Targets, no guarantees.

Net target return

per year, at moderate volatility, measured over the full horizon.

High water mark

A performance fee is only charged when the fund reaches a new highest value. Losses are recovered first, only then a fee applies again. That keeps our interests aligned with yours.

How the high water mark works: a fee only above the previous highest value.

Current monthly figures are in the factsheets and reports for participants. In a conversation we go through the track record, with figures and sources on the table.

Key risks

The fund invests in other funds and is therefore partly dependent on the managers of the underlying funds, who may be less transparent. In addition, the fund and the underlying funds can use leverage, which can amplify both gains and losses. Currency rates and investments in less liquid or complex instruments can also lead to larger fluctuations or losses. Read the prospectus and the Key Information Document (KID) for a full description of all risks.
