Independent Asset Management for Institutional Investors
Asset Management Tailored to Your Institution
Asset management requirements vary depending on the institution. That is why we do not rely on standardized solutions; instead, we tailor our investment strategy, portfolio management, and reporting to meet each client’s specific needs.
Whether it’s a foundation with a board of trustees, a pension fund with an investment committee and its managers, or a company with internal contacts: We tailor our collaboration and communication to the respective structures.
Our goal is to provide tailored asset management and support so that our clients always feel they are in good hands.
Asset Management for Foundations, Pension Funds, and Companies
Foundations
Charitable foundations and family foundations need an investment strategy that balances the long-term preservation of assets with the financial requirements of the foundation’s mission. We serve numerous foundations and tailor our asset management services to their specific needs, guidelines, and distribution goals.
Pension funds and other retirement plans
Pension funds must balance returns, risk, and liquidity over the long term while also taking into account regulatory requirements and individual investment policies. We develop tailored investment strategies and mandates and provide support through transparent reporting that meets the requirements of the relevant governing bodies.
Company
When investing their assets, companies have varying requirements in terms of security, returns, and liquidity. Together, we define the investment horizon, liquidity needs, and risk parameters, and use these to develop a suitable investment strategy for the company’s assets.
How We Work with Institutional Clients
1. Understanding Requirements
To begin with, we work together to analyze investment objectives, risk parameters, liquidity needs, regulatory frameworks, and existing structures.
2. Defining a Customized Investment Strategy
Based on this analysis, we develop a customized investment solution, which we discuss with the relevant decision-makers and adjust as needed. We place a high value on transparency and well-documented investment decisions to support the responsible bodies in their tasks and alleviate their workload.
3. Implement the portfolio
We implement the agreed-upon strategy independently within our Portfolio Management department, in accordance with the defined guidelines.
4. Transparent Reporting
Reporting and analyses are tailored to the requirements of the respective institution and its governing bodies.
5. Ongoing Strategy Review
The portfolio’s performance and the investment strategy are regularly assessed jointly and, if necessary, adjusted to reflect changes in market conditions.
6. Ongoing dialogue
We communicate regularly and on an ad hoc basis with those responsible.

What Institutional Investors and Pension Funds Can Expect from Tareno
Independent Investment Decisions
As an independent asset manager, we are not tied to our own financial products or to any specific custodian bank. Our clients benefit from the freedom to choose their custodian bank, as well as from our established network of 12 custodian banks with which we have maintained long-standing relationships and negotiated attractive terms.
In-House Investment Expertise
Our core expertise lies in the analysis of financial markets and customized portfolio management, backed by a proven track record.
Our investment expertise is rooted within our organization. This enables us to make decisions directly, actively manage portfolios, and tailor our approach to meet the specific needs of various institutional clients.

With over 45 employees and client assets totaling approximately CHF 3.9 billion, our size enables us to professionally meet the regulatory and organizational requirements of institutional clients and pension funds while maintaining a personalized decision-making process.
Reporting Tailored to Your Needs
Institutional investors and pension funds require different types of information for their executive management, investment committees, board of trustees, or regulatory authorities.
We can prepare customized reports as well as those required by regulatory authorities on a case-by-case basis and, if needed, make them available on a daily basis.
Competitive Terms
Professional institutional asset management is characterized not only by high-quality investments but also by a strong focus on cost efficiency.
Thanks to our size, our well-established infrastructure, and our many years of experience, we are able to offer institutional clients attractive and competitive terms.
In doing so, we always consider the total cost of an investment solution. In addition to our management fees, we also consistently take into account the indirect costs of the investment instruments used when constructing portfolios. Our “best-in-class” approach ensures that we select solutions that excel in terms of quality, performance, and cost. Our independence is a key advantage in this regard.
