4 COMPANY PORTRAIT EAGLE INVESTMENT AG is an independent financial consultancy and asset management company located at the heart of Zurich at Gotthardstrasse 21, directly adjacent to the Park Hyatt Hotel as well as in Lucerne on Morgartenstrasse 9, which is close to the central railway station. Incorporated in Zurich in 2000, EAGLE INVEST manages assets for both private and institutional clients all over the world. Since July 2004, EAGLE INVEST has been a member of the Swiss Association of Asset Managers (SAAM); an organisation recognised with the best reputation and focus on investor protection. In addition to protecting the interests of association members vis-àvis banks, politicians and the state etc, this self-regulating organisation (SRO) is chartered and responsible for ensuring that its members actions comply with money laundering legislation ( GwG = Swiss Money Laundering Act). EAGLE INVEST is committed to "Traditional Swiss Private Banking". Since assets under management are held in our clients names with major Swiss banks of the client s choice, EAGLE INVEST handles client assets on the basis of a management mandate and with a limited power of attorney. Each asset manager knows and looks after their clients, accommodating their personal and individual needs. Each one only manages the assets of a selected and limited number of individual clients or family relationships. In choosing a focus for investments, real value preservation is the top priority, and only where a long-term investment horizon exists is asset growth targeted. The investment strategies and stock selections are developed within the team of asset managers. Thanks to first-class relationships with banks and other research sources, EAGLE INVEST always has access to the latest information worldwide. In addition to actual asset management, we also offer our clients, through our well-established network, all complementary financial services.
