What also distinguishes us from other market participants is the methodology of investing. It is a very selective investment method that appeals to the tastes of many of our investors.
In selecting our investments, we ourselves have introduced various restrictions. We have forbidden ourselves to buy stocks in certain sectors, such as the arms industry. We have not defined a percentage above which we refrain from buying, but we have refrained from buying Airbus, for example, for this reason, even though the company had to absorb very large markdowns due to the pandemic and was very favorably valued at the time. We also try to avoid some regions of the world, usually for human rights reasons. Banks and insurance companies are also out of the question for us for ethical reasons. By the mentioned restrictions we try to approach the mentioned target group.
