THE OPPORTUNITY
Whatever has been done will be outdone.
WHY VENTURE SUISSE?
We provide a risk-adjusted investment vehicle, that embraces the market evolution within the following themes:
Big things have small beginnings, and access to reliable data is crucial to navigate successfully. As the story goes, the Rothschilds used carrier pigeons in 1815 to learn the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo in advance of their competitors and then successfully traded on that knowledge. Paul Reuter started Reuters in 1851, relying on the telegraph and more than 200 carrier pigeons to transmit information quickly.
Our investment edge is access to big data, digital transformation, and exponential technologies. Access to big data and exponential technologies such as machine learning (AI) is a unique opportunity supporting our active management approach. History has shown, that whatever has been done will be outdone:
-
The average lifespan of an S&P 500 company in the 1950's was 60 years; today it's less than 20 years.
-
Half of the companies included in the Fortune 500 list in 2000 are not on the list today.
-
The corporate graveyard is littered with market leaders, that failed to rethink their business. Remember Blockbuster, Toys'R'Us and Sears?
Regulatory and technological developments have always changed the markets. From the laying of the transatlantic telegraph cable to the development of the internet, new technologies have enabled new disruptive players on the scene and new markets to be opened. Schumpeter called this phenomenon “creative destruction”. The 4th industrial revolution is accelerating this trend, and our thematic investment vehicle is built to embrace this evolution. As new technologies evolve, we catch the market evolution in both public and private markets with our unique “3 buckets approach”.
