Together with Dr Hendrik Leber, Johannes Hesche is responsible for institutional client mandates worth billions. He is known to the public for the ACATIS Value and Dividend Fund, which, like the ACATIS Value Event Fund, successfully focuses on the concept of a concentrated portfolio of mature companies with high cash flows and good value creation quality.

Continued aim for equity-like returns with lower volatility

The aim of equity-like returns with significantly lower volatility will continue to be the hallmark of the flexible mixed fund ACATIS Value Event Fonds.

ACATIS' previous "straight line" strategy with a concentrated portfolio of stable, quality companies with mature business models and easily predictable cash flows will be maintained 1:1. The equity and bond components are managed in the traditional manner. Derivatives will not be used.

"We feel very comfortable with the current portfolio and the equity allocation. We will continue to manage the fund steadily and with a calm hand, just as investors would expect from us," promises Johannes Hesche, Head of Qualitative Portfolio Management at ACATIS Investment.
