SWISS INVESTMENT GROUP LAUNCHES NEW FAMILY OF FUNDS FOR
LATIN AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN AFFLUENT INVESTORS
Miami, FL - November 2, 2000 - Swiss Investment Group (SIG), LLC, announced
today the launch of a new family of funds for affluent investors in Latin
America and Europe. The five funds will be marketed under the name Swiss
Investment Funds and will be divided into the following asset classes: U.S.
Fixed Income, U.S. Large Cap, U.S. Small Cap, European Equity and Global New
Economy.
The U.S. dollar-denominated Funds provide an exclusive opportunity for SIG
clients to invest in an attractive selection of professionally managed
offshore portfolios previously out of reach for the individual investor.
Using an Asset Class Investing approach, SIG managers design personalized
asset allocation plans as well as sophisticated investment strategies for
each client to optimize portfolio performance.
"Financial studies have proven that over 90 percent of investment return is
based on selecting the right mix of asset classes for your portfolio. This
far outweighs the benefits of market timing and security selection," said
Detlef R. Kasischke, founder and chief executive of SIG. "Swiss Investment
Funds provide a unique opportunity for high net worth Latin American and
European investors to enjoy the enviable performance results of
professionally managed funds without incurring the substantial costs and
minimum requirement hurdles encountered at other firms."
Private wealth is on the rise across the globe and Latin America is one of
the fastest growing regions in the world for wealth creation. By 2003, the
region is expected to reach over $5 trillion in onshore and offshore
investments. Europe is also expected to show steady growth to nearly $9
trillion in private wealth over the next three years. Swiss Investment Group
intends to capitalize on this trend by offering investors in these regions
exceptional portfolio management services with a ten-year goal of $1 billion
in assets under management.
Swiss Investment Funds uses the resources of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and
Salomon Smith Barney as well as leading U.S. institutional money managers and
custodian banks.
