Independent. Efficient. Professional.

Then we are your ideal partner.
We can provide you with expertise in everything concerning the launch, structuring and management of alternative assets. We design, prospect and manage the appropriate investment structure and assume the portfolio and risk management.
If you are looking for an asset that fits your clients’ investment structure, then we are also the ideal partner for you.

As part of the XOLARIS Group, headquartered in Germany, we are able to offer you custom-made product structures under the regulations of the German AIFM directive and under the supervision of BaFin (Federal Financial Supervisory Authority) via the two capital management service companies that belong to our group. We are also able to offer you individual structures via our company in Switzerland as well as via XOLARIS Capital Ltd. in Hong Kong. By following a full-service approach – from structuring, through portfolio and risk management to administration, XOLARIS Group holds to its principles:
„Investment quality – made in Germany – independent, efficient, professional“
XOLARIS’ people — located in our offices in Germany, Switzerland and Hong Kong — have the shared values and complementary skills that lead to our success as a firm. All members of our team, irrespective of their roles, work together in accordance with our business principles and our investment philosophy and have a vested interest in our joint success. This commitment is reflected by the fact that our personnel tend to stay with our firm over the long term.

Our goal is to invest – made in Germany. To us, this not only means excellence in investing but also achieving attractive returns with a balanced risk/return profile. Although we strive for superior returns, our first priority is that our actions produce consistency, protection of capital, and superior performance in bad times.
Being part of the XOLARIS group, we use the same procedures in compliance as asset management companies in Germany. German law is one of the strongest and most efficient in the world. In order to achieve commonality of interests with our clients, we pay strict attention to potential conflicts of interest, avoiding them if possible and dealing fairly with them if not. We put clients’ interests ahead of our own and treat all clients equally.
Our main advantage is our independence. Being independent is one of the key factors for excellence in investing. We are not under pressure in our investment process for achieving good quarterly reports. Everything we do is based on the needs of our clients and the creation of value.
Our personnel practices must contribute to the achievement of our clients’ objectives. A harmonious workplace and a spirit of cooperation are indispensable; personnel turnover, office politics and unhealthy competition are to be guarded against.
Communication with clients must meet their needs and strengthen our relationships with them. We want every client to thoroughly understand our philosophy, approach, actions and results. Nothing that we do should ever come as a surprise to a client. In reporting our performance, we accurately state our achievements, neither hiding behind excuses for losses, nor taking credit for fortuitous gains.
Our management fee arrangements should compensate us equitably for the value we add and forge a constructive business relationship. Fee arrangements should motivate us to act solely in our clients’ best interests; they should be fair, competitive and explicit. Our earnings should increase if we achieve excellence in investing… but only then.
XOLARIS is increasingly aware of the impact that investing into alternative assets, in particular in the private equity industry can have on society and the environment. This sector reaches a large number of people across many countries and involves the use of a significant amount of the earth’s natural resources. XOLARIS, therefore, believes that environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues should be integral to the investment process and is in the process of enhancing and formalising its approach to these issues in its own investment programme.
We understand that the effective ownership and management of the assets under our managements create benefits for all stakeholders: from employees to customers, suppliers to shareholders, and the wider community at large. Therefore, XOLARIS is committed to helping its investment funds make responsible investments in order to create sustainable, long-term value in close partnerships with management teams.
XOLARIS takes into account the ten principles of corporate governance enshrined in the UN Global Compact and is in the process of putting comprehensive mechanisms in place to incorporate ESG issues into investment analysis and decision-making processes.
We are aware that there is a significant opportunity to influence corporate behaviour to achieve improved ESG/sustainability performance through the ownership of our portfolio companies. XOLARIS believes that best practice on ESG issues both mitigates risk and captures opportunities that enhance the long-term value of the portfolio companies.
We are a value-oriented investor that seeks returns primarily through improved business operations. With our long-term view, we are focusing on wide-ranging investments within our four asset classes.
Each opportunity is evaluated based on the underlying value of the asset and the risks associated with correcting the situation to unlock value. We support both the short- and long-term capital needs of the properties in which we invest.
