Investment Strategy – Performance

Our investment strategy, consistently pursued over decades, has led to above average returns. The FMM-Methodology has been applied successfully for over 35 years by our portfolio managers. With its proven track record of more than 20 years, this is demonstrated by the fund bearing its name. The "FMM-Fonds" is Germany's oldest wealth management fund and was able to beat its benchmark MSCI World in almost every year (Fig. 2). Even compared to other known indices, the FMM-strategy still shows outperformance (Fig. 1) and has achieved a return of 8.61% p.a., or a total return of 669.62% since its inception on 17/08/1987 (as of 30/04/2012). This result was achieved at a substantially reduced risk, as reflected in the volatility (Fig. 3). For its outstanding achievements, DJE Kapital AG has received numerous industry awards.
