One statistical foundation. Two portfolio roles.
B R A N D P R O M I S E
We manage two complementary systematic strategy families, designed to address different portfolio needs.
DIVERSIFY RETURN DRIVERS
Adaptivv All Season
Systematic long/short diversification
Our flagship strategy invests long and short across global equity, rates, currency, and commodity markets.
It seeks to provide a differentiated return source beyond traditional equity and bond exposure, and to reduce a portfolio’s dependence on rising markets.
Implementation through highly liquid futures and currency markets provides a transparent pricing, efficient execution and daily liquidity.
MANAGE MARKET EXPOSURE
Downside Control
Systematic risk-controlled market participation
Our Downside Control strategies systematically adjust market exposure as trends, risks and market dynamics change.
They are designed for investors seeking long-term market participation while managing exposure during unstable or negative market environments.
The same measurement engine drive both families - what differs is the portfolio job each on is built to do.
“We do not engineer portfolios around a single market forecast. We measure how market dynamics are changing and translate that evidence into disciplined investment decisions. The same statistical foundation can serve different portfolio objectives - from adding independent return drivers to controlling exposure in unstable markets”

The same measurement, made readable
N O W C A S T R E S E A R C H
Our investors do not only receive a strategy. They receive the reading behind it - the Adaptivv Nowcast, a weekly research package covering global equities, rates, commodities, and currency markets.
It is the identical statistical foundation that governs Adaptivv All Season and Adaptivv Downside Control - expressed as research rather than as a position.
Stability Opinion

Across every asset class
Equities by region, rates, credit, commodities and currencies in one view
Cover and market dashboard of a weekly Adaptivv Nowcast produced for a client under their own branding. Green marks stable market conditions, red marks instability; each dial carries a stability reading and it’s change since the previous publication.
Where the measurement turns into allocation.
R E A D I N G T O D E C I S I O N
The strategic allocation sits at 60% equities and 40% bonds. The measured environment has moved the tactical allocation to 76% and 24% - a decision taken inside a range that was defined in advance, not in the moment.
This is the mechanism behind Adaptivv Downside Control, shown as it reaches the investor: a number that changes, and the limits it is allowed to change within.
Tactical asset allocation from the same weekly publication. The diamond marks the strategic allocation, the solid bar the current tactical allocation, and the dashed line the range it may move within.
How the parts fit together.
S T R A T E G I C A R C H I T E C T U R E
One measure engine, two strategy families with different portfolio jobs, and a research layer whose only route into the portfolio runs back through the statistics.
The AI layer has exactly one arrow, and it points back into research. There is no path from it to portfolio construction or to the risk framework - that separation is the governance claim, drawn rather than asserted.

Not just where we are. How we work.
For us, Swiss engineering means applying scientific rigour to every stage of the investment process - from the research that produces a signal to the person who answers for it.
Systematically constructed
0 1
Strategies are tested across different markets, regimes and historical environments before being implemented.
Rigorously validated
0 2
Investment decisions follow transparent and repeatable rules rather than discretionary market opinions.
Precisely managed
0 3
Portfolio construction, execution and risk management operate within clearly defined quantitative limits.
Accountable
0 4
As an independent Swiss asset manager, investors have direct access to the people responsible for the research and investment process.
Changing market require more than static portfolios.
Traditional portfolios often remain dependent on the same fundamental return drivers: rising equity markets, falling interest rates and stable correlations.
Adaptivv develops swiss-engineered systematic strategies designed to contribut differently - through high liquid long/short diversification and disciplined exposure management
Swiss engineered. Systematically invested.
