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.

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.

Discretionary Asset Management with AlphaCapita

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.
