The 4 principles of our investment philosophy

Our investment philosophy is based on a strong conviction strategy.

Making investment decisions based on strong convictions is essential to achieving sustainable returns and maximizing value creation for our clients.


This approach means that we actively seek out investment opportunities that offer significant growth potential and are in line with our values and objectives. Rather than blindly following market trends or being swayed by the general consensus, we strive to conduct a thorough and rigorous analysis of each company or asset we invest in. We focus on understanding company fundamentals, industries, and relevant economic trends to make informed decisions and build a diversified portfolio. We also seek to identify potential catalysts that can positively impact investment performance.
This conviction-based investment strategy enables us to build strong portfolios for our clients in their best interests.

Committed investments for a sustainable future

Socially responsible investment (SRI), or sustainable investment, is an approach that incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria when selecting investments. The aim is to generate financial returns while considering the social and ecological impact of the companies in which we invest.

The ESG approach

Piguet Galland supports companies that adopt sustainable practices in the environmental (reduction of carbon emissions, renewable energies), social (respect for human rights, diversity and inclusion) and governance (transparency, responsible risk management) fields. This approach can take different forms, such as excluding companies operating in controversial sectors, integrating ESG indicators into financial analysis, or investing in positive-impact companies that solve social and environmental problems.

Swiss Sustainable Finance


By becoming a member of Swiss Sustainable Finance, Piguet Galland takes part in the active community of sustainable finance in Switzerland and contributes to integrating sustainability principles into the Swiss financial industry.


A good understanding of the risks involved

An in-depth risk analysis precedes each of our decisions. Our absolute priority is to preserve your assets over the long term while ensuring that returns align with your investment profile.

A long-term focus

frame_316126796

Successful investments require long-term vision and strategic patience.

Rather than seeking quick gains or reacting to day-to-day market fluctuations, we focus on building a solid, sustainable portfolio to generate consistent returns over the long term. This approach enables us to withstand the ups and downs of the market and capitalise on longer-term opportunities.
