Our product offering
Managing mutual funds is our core business. We specialise in the management of active equity and liquid alternatives for private and institutional investors. We continuously review and develop our investment methods in line with the latest scientific findings.
We offer all FIRST PRIVATE funds via private banks, cooperative banks and savings banks, in addition to several financial service providers.
What we offer:
- Active investments
- Systematic, comprehensible investment processes
- Transparent reporting
- Institutional fund share classes
- Fund share classes for private clients
- Funds in different risk categories
Liquid alternatives
Our liquid alternatives strategies aim to generate sustainable returns that are – as far as possible – independent of the market, while at the same time limiting risk.
The FIRST PRIVATE multi-strategy approaches rethink the concept of diversification. We see the allocation of strategies and ideas from a wide range of asset classes as a modernisation of the traditional multi-asset approach.
In our view, successful asset management must be based on investment strategies that generate returns regardless of interest rates or the market enviroment. The overall aim is to make your portfolio more robust.

Investment strategy
The First Private Helix pursues a market-neutral strategy based on international equity index futures.
The idea of the First Private Helix is based on well-documented, scientific findings on the so-called “reversal effect”. Stock markets behave inefficiently for short periods of time – rise or fall too sharply and then correct this movement.
The strategy uses exaggerated stock market corrections as an entry signal to build up a long position (purchase of stock index futures). At the same time, a short position is built up in a less strongly fallen or risen market. In sum, the portfolio is permanently market-neutral.

Investment strategy
The long/short UCITS fund First Private Systematic Commodity is using a rule-based quantitative strategy, which has been proven over several years and which invests diversified in 14 different commodities. The fund aims to achieve attractive, uncorrelated returns that are independent of traditional asset classes.
In First Private Systematic Commodity, the commodity market is mainly covered by swaps. Important criteria for selection include seasonal patterns, the shape of the commodity forward curves (positioning on the curve) or the price momentum of the various commodity categories. To limit the risk of the portfolio, the allocation is always adjusted so that the expected volatility level does not exceed a defined maximum value.
