Alternative investments – Diversification and potential for high returns
As investor, you expect higher returns for the investment risk taken. Sarasin alternative investments help you achieve this goal. We offer investment products whose performance is largely independent from financial markets such as equities and bonds.
An essential building block for your portfolio
Bank Sarasin’s specialists are happy to offer advice and explain how alternative investments – Hedge Funds, Private Equity and Commodities ’– can enhance your portfolio.
When valuing and recommending alternative investments, we do not consider them in isolation but take into account their interplay with traditional investments. Our analyses are based on modern quantitative methods.
Transparent hedge funds
Hedge funds can generate a return independent of the general performance of financial markets. Clients have access to the world of hedge funds via third-party products selected in accordance with strict quality criteria.
Private equity – trend-setting while diversifying your risk
Investing in unlisted companies is the key to attractive returns. These returns can be significantly higher than those provided by bonds and typical equities. In addition, they are not closely correlated with traditional financial markets.
As an asset class, private equity includes venture capital for young companies, expansion capital and buyouts. Whether you are interested in encouraging young companies through private equity investment or simply want to diversify your portfolio: we can offer you the relevant investment opportunities.
Investing systematically in commodities
If invested in correctly, commodities can offer the following advantages to your portfolio:
- Attractive risk/return relationship, comparable with equities
- Protection against inflation:
- Low correlation with traditional financial markets

Our investment fund in the area of commodities caters perfectly for this strategy. If you are interested in commodities investment, this is the ideal complement to your portfolio.
