With our broadly diversified and long-term investment strategy, we can cushion short-term fluctuations on the capital market and generate stable income over the long term, which benefits you and your employees in the form of interest. A balanced share of equities and tangible assets as well as investments in alternative investment vehicles means stable returns can be expected in the long term.
Our investment strategy is defined by the investment committee of the Vita Collective Foundation and approved by the foundation board. It is regularly adjusted to the foundation's risk-return profile.
