The Portfolios at AlphaCapita (Switzerland) SA are a unique investment concept. De-
signed to satiate the entire range of risk appetites, AlphaCapita Portfolios are a pre-
mium service designed by seasoned and established financial experts. In this day and
age it is important to feel secure with your finances. That's why AlphaCapita
(Switzerland) SA stands out as a market innovator. The portfolios are held in
“segregated accounts” meaning that all the assets, stocks bonds, are all held in the
your name.
Flexible and transparent, AlphaCapita Portfolios can meet all requirements and objec-
tives from capital protection and income-streamed returns, to varying levels of growth
focus.
AlphaCapita (Switzerland) SA knows the ‘perfect investment’ is an intangible idea, but
we also see it as something to strive towards. The intricate fluctuations and poetic in-
terdependencies of the economic world are fundamental aspects of the markets that
we revel in, but they are also fundamental characteristics that ensure investment per-
fection remains a target we always endeavor to achieve.
This knowledge, passion and understanding of the markets is what inspired us at Al-
phaCapita (Switzerland) SA to develop four Portfolios to meet the requirements of our
clients.
At AlphaCapita (Switzerland) SA, we understand diversification across global markets
hubs and across commodities and sectors, combined with an unswayable, underlying
quality key to achieving growth. AlphaCapita (Switzerland) SA mainly uses only blue-
chip stocks and AAA-graded investment bonds to meet this demand for quality and
excellence in investment.

Global Asset Management
AlphaCapita is a Independent, fully regulated Asset Management Company residing in Zurich
Switzerland. AlphaCapita offers onshore and offshore solutions and was created by Carsten Roloff
and Jamie Foyers with the aim of servicing institutional and HNWI clients (High Net Worth Indi-
viduals) locally from offices in Switzerland, as well as local expertise in Denmark and the U.K
Key words for AlphaCapita (Switzerland) SA are partnerships, flexibility, transparency and, of
course, performance.
AlphaCapita The Company
AlphaCapita The Commitment
These days banking has changed dramatically, it's all about the bottom line and sales. It's about
the bank and not so much the client. In the last few years banks and large financial organisation
have been under a lot of pressure to keep their business viable. Turnover and volume are words
that are synonymous in these institutions, which in our minds has lead to increasing cost and ever
decreasing service to the clients. AlphaCapita wants to revert to the old times when a wealth
management client was a V.I.P and treated in a manner that reflects this. it's not about volume to
us, it's about good old fashioned service. Striving to get the best for our clients and to protect and
make his or her assets grow in a stable and reliable way. AlphaCapita was built round under-
standing this fundamental problem in banking.
Our Portfolios are designed to run in a "discretionary" manner allowing you the client
to focus on other aspects of life. We appreciate that people have other things to do
with their time than trying to keep up with the fast moving global markets. Therefore
you may find it beneficial to delegate the management of your portfolio to seasoned
specialist. Here at AlphaCapita we offer a choice of four "Risk" based portfolios which
are run in a discretionary manner to suit most investor requirements.

Self Traders with AlphaCapita
If you like making the decisions yourself and like the excitement of running your own
portfolio we offer a "multi-asset Platform". From here you can trade over 20,000 dif-
ferent asset classes over the global stage.
Traders and investors increasingly demand usability, mobility, performance when exe-
cuting online trades. AlphaCapita (Switzerland) SA understand the demands of mod-
ern traders. With state-of-the-art technical tools and features, our clients can access
real-time account information, streaming prices and the tools to trade and manage
their positions at anytime and from any location.
When we created AlphaCapita we worked hard on listening. Listening to what our clients
where saying. One of the things that we heard a lot was security of assets.
We looked at this long and hard and came up with the idea of segregated account man-
agement. Not "rocket science" we hear you say, but why then do we hear about this is-
sue time and time again? maybe it's because other asset managers are not doing it?
The idea was to protect our clients funds at a "multi-level". We identified the areas of
risk for the clients. Firstly there was Brokerage risk, the risk of the trading platform. Sec-
ondly the risk of AlphaCapita as a business. We set about addressing these two risk ar-
eas by:
Firstly, making sure that our brokerage held all Accounts in the "Clients name" not
pooled accounts.
Secondly we looked at the business risk of AlphaCapita. We look to manage our clients
funds, we do not want to have clients cash or assets under our name. Meaning that we
have the right to make investment decisions on behalf our clients under our discretion-
ary mandate. However, we have no ability to transfer or remove funds.
AlphaCapita And Modern Security Of Assets
“AlphaCapita views on the transparency not only allows the client to see the
process, but with online access to real time positioning and NAV, allows the
client to have a “window” into their portfolio”
AlphaCapita And Flexibility
On the matter of flexibility we find that large financial institutions by definition are big,
but big does not necessarily make them great. Moreover it makes them rather rigid, like
an old truck, difficult to manoeuvre, slow and rather costly. The flexibility of AlphaCapita
makes it stand apart from its larger competitors. We are not tied to certain products or
organisation. In fact we have the whole market to find our clients the best deals around.
Not only that, having the flexibility to satisfy most appetite's, creating "tailor made"
products and solutions to our clients request, from hedging oil exposure to creating spe-
cific “thematic” bonds.
Our investment philosophies are simple and built on well-proven investment theories.
We invest with a long-term view – but also accept that the market requires short-term
protection due to market volatilities. We believe in absolute return coupled with flexi-
bility, allowing us to perform in any market condition.
To secure capital preservation all strategies used by AlphaCapita undergo a strict risk
management requiring a pre-determined stop-loss and target prior to entry for all
short sells which may be leveraged for optimum return. To determine our strategy we
use the following studies:
Technical analysis, Quantitative/qualitative analyses, Global macro and Market open
interest. As long as risk parameters are secured for the overall portfolio, leverage is
used to maximize profit on profitable directional trading. To minimize risk leverage
will be utilized from margin. As we believe in absolute return in any market condition,
we developed three sub-strategies; short, medium and long term. Cash balances are
reviewed regularly for re allocation back into base portfolio.
We use our experience from the last 20 years to secure that our clients portfolios will
deliver superior returns even in negative market conditions. We are able to offer four
different strategies - One conservative, balanced and an Equity focused plus an ETF
portfolio which covers the Emerging Market scenario. We have a high focus on our
asset allocation. Our portfolio's include:
Government. bonds, Corporate bonds, Emerging Market Bonds, Blue chip stock, and
opportunity stocks. As a hedging tool we will use options and CFD’s. We believe in
absolute return coupled with flexibility.
This successful approach sets us apart from Funds that only perform in certain market
conditions.
