Company philosophy
ACATIS Investment KVG mbH, with headquarters in
Frankfurt am Main, Germany, is an independent fund
boutique. The company specializes in “value investing”
based on the model of Benjamin Graham and Warren
Buffett. ACATIS was established in Germany in 1994. It
has been represented with a branch in Switzerland since
2007. ACATIS is independent and is completely free of
allegiances of any kind as a result of group
affiliations. The team is small and is focused on the
core competence of investing. All support functions are
performed by external partners. This focus has produced
successful results.
The ACATIS product portfolio includes value-based
equity, balanced and bond funds as well as mandates. The
flagship fund ACATIS Aktien Global Fonds was launched in
1997.
The ACATIS approach is calm and well considered,
underpinned by in-depth statistical and mathematical
analysis based on scientific research. Our IT
subsidiary, ACATIS Research GmbH in Bochum, supports us with specially tailored,
Internet-based research modules. We do not base our
stock-picking decisions on gut feeling. Our portfolios
are focused and characterised by long holding periods.
ACATIS has also been working on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its application in portfolio management for the past five years. In 2016, ACATIS began with the first practical application of artificial intelligence, and in 2017 and 2018 the company launched two ACATIS equity funds and an external mandate whose stock selection and portfolio composition are fully controlled by artificial intelligence.
