Markus Lehner: The LEHNER INVESTMENTS TIMES and how we shall make Money with Money!
It is my pleasure to present you our first edition of the LEHNER INVESTMENTS TIMES. This is not another newsletter telling you what the stock market will do or on which currency to bet on. No, this is all about what we like the most, making money with money all together.
When I sold the retail part of my Investment business more than 2 years ago many people have asked me personally how and where I invest my savings and the proceeds of that sale, knowing that I am in the Investment business for more than 35 years now.
To answer those questions was very easy to me because I am thinking about how and where to invest since I founded the first company of our LEHNER INVESTMENTS group in 1990. Basically, there are just a few, but vital considerations any Investor shall have.
First of all, Investments have to be diversified in different asset classes, ideally with a very low correlation to each other. Secondly, especially if you don’t like volatility too much (like me), only invest in the “bluechips” of each asset class, hence the really “big names”.
Also, my investments will have to be executed through the most secure legal framework, which is an investment fund structure with all its legal requirements. Further on I wanted that the fund’s jurisdiction is in the EU, and I feel the safest with all accounts in Switzerland.
There are always two emotions in our business, and always in the same order: “The Fear” and “The Greed”. The Fear is pretty much gone when considering all the above, but how about the Greed? In other words, who will actually make money with my/our money?
Since I cannot be an expert in all asset classes, I had to find the best teams for each individual Investment Fund. Each of them must have a track record of more than 5 years and experience with their own money, simulations or back testing are not enough for me!
Beside satisfying our two main emotions in the investment businesses I wanted also the most convenient way of investing without going through any sort of KYC. Therefore, all our funds have an ISIN and a simple bank transfer to our fund’s Swiss accounts gets all going.
Now, after 2 years of financial engineering, we have launched our first funds, our crypto currency fund. Already after the first month of real trading last March, it confirmed our expectations. While the top ten cryptos have lost up to 5%, our LICCF made even profits!
We will launch 3 more funds over the next few months and have many other happenings related to LEHNER INVESTMENTS, such as even more performance or our private events, and our LIT will keep you updated about all and everything related to what we like the most.
