Philosophy
We offer our investors tailor-made solutions for fund products and investments. To this end, we combine technical expertise with business experience. Entrepreneurial and holistic thinking determine our actions and shape the way SAMAG works.
The identification and avoidance of operational risks in investments is just as important to us as the creation of regulatory conditions geared to our investors’ needs.
Wherever potential dangers are identified and problems could possibly arise due to interfaces, we have created remedies and precautions through our own solutions.
Be it by setting up our own native-speaking teams for operations & maintenance, accounting with an SAP system adapted to our needs or our own AIFM licence approved by the CSSF in Luxembourg. This approach continues in our core activities – origination, investment management and due diligence, as well as asset management. We live our core values vis-à-vis the market and our investors:
- Partnership
- Reliability
- Pragmatism
- Motivation
