3. “Think and invest like an entrepreneur – Value Investing, Fund Boutiques & Family Offices”.

“The word crisis in Chinese is composed of two characters – one signifying danger and the other opportunity” (John F. Kennedy).

For 18 years, former strategy professor Dr. J. Carlos Jarillo (former Ph.D. student of Michael Porter and Harvard Research Associate) and his team have been managing equity funds at Strategic Investment Advisors Group (SIA). His latest book, “Strategic Logic – The Sources of Long-term Corporate Profitability” is considered by many executives to be the practice-oriented successor to Michael Porter’s classic “Competitive Strategy”.

“Strategic Investing” is thematically closely related to the way independent entrepreneurs think (ownership approach). Markus Hill will therefore speak about “Value Investing, Fund Boutiques and Independence” (USA formula) as well as initial feedback from the MH-Survey 2020 “Family Offices & Value Investing”. For years he has been observing and commenting on the development in the field of owner-managed, independent asset managers/family offices and the long-term horizon of investments.

This year, the entire investment committee and the partners of SIA will be on site: Prof. J. Carlos Jarillo, Alex Rauchenstein (CEO), Marcos Hernandez (CIO), and Urs Marti, moderator: Markus Hill.

“Think and invest like an entrepreneur” (topics)

  • Think and act like an entrepreneur
  • What is a good enterprise?
  • How do we evaluate a company?
  • Portfolio construction and lessons learned from 2008
  • Commodity stocks, still an undervalued investment theme
  • Value Investing with Values (“Sustainability”)

Event date / venue:

Thursday, 24 September 2020, from 11.30 to 14.00 h, Main Nizza (www.mainnizza.de), Untermainkai 17, 60329 Frankfurt am Main

Strategic Investment Advisors Group (SIA, www.s-i-a.ch) is a value boutique from Switzerland that has been successfully serving investors in Europe for many years. SIA maintains an intensive dialogue with its investors and value investment-oriented investors. Since 2015, the professional exchange of ideas has already been conducted intensively in Frankfurt, Cologne, Munich, and Hamburg. An interesting aspect of these meetings in previous years was the discussion of the concepts of mutual funds and private equity funds in the value investing segment and the classification of commodities as part of asset allocation. These and other points will be taken up again this year (“investment horizon”, Warren Buffett, etc.). Another aspect: Family offices and independent asset managers seemed particularly interested in learning more about the range of independent addresses in the value investing segment during the exchange of ideas at the time (“Diversification with brains”, MH-Survey 2020).

4. SAVE THE DATE – Martin Friedrich, Lansdowne Partners Austria GmbH, October 15, 2020, Vienna, additional information to follow

Family offices and institutional investors think in long terms in the investment sector. Markus Hill spoke on behalf of FONDSBOUTIQUEN.DE with Martin Friedrich, Lansdowne Partners Austria GmbH, about topics such as strategic asset allocation and the selection of asset managers. The similarities and differences between the fields of activity of family offices and fund boutiques were also discussed, as well as previous experiences as a portfolio manager and last but not least the reference to an interesting book.

5. TAKING PLACE (NOVEMBER 2020, Frankfurt am Main) – FAMILY OFFICES & FUND SELECTION (info@markus-hill.com)

Independent asset managers (fund boutiques) enjoy great popularity among private and institutional investors. Regardless of the respective asset class (shares, bonds, real estate, etc.) and product packaging (mutual funds, special funds, AIF), the strongly entrepreneurial asset managers score points through independence (U), specialization (S) and authenticity (A). In most cases there is no corporate affiliation, they concentrate on one or a few asset classes, they have skin-in-the-game: authenticity here means that many of these owner-managed houses start the funds (private label funds) with their own money and that the entrepreneurs (fund initiators) “burn” for their cause.


The independent site www.fondsboutiquen.de is happy to discuss the topics mentioned above and is grateful for input, ideas, and suggestions in this market segment. (redaktion@fondsboutiquen.de)
