GENERATING ALPHA

SINCE 1964

For over 55 years, we have been committed to delivering superior performance to our clients.

To achieve this ambitious goal, we rely on a simple, yet very rare, asset: TALENT.

By finding the best external managers through a stringent selection process, but also by attracting and motivating strong independent minds.

ASSET MANAGEMENT AT NS PARTNERS

We don’t sell products. We create investment solutions.
+55 YEARS OF EXPERTISE

From the oil shock of 1973 to the Black Monday of October 1987 and the 2008 financial crisis, we’ve weathered many storms. These powerful lessons, which you can only learn from experience, have made us stronger and better.

OUR GEEKS SPEAK GREEK
Alpha, beta, delta, gamma… This is just Greek to most people. But as finance professionals, we master the most complex statistical risk measures and convert this expertise into superior risk-adjusted performance.
ALTERNATIVE THINKING
Conventional investments only allow you to gain when markets go up. By relying on more sophisticated techniques, such as long/short investing or arbitrage, we can generate positive returns in difficult market conditions.
PROCESS IS KING
Asset management should never be improvised. On the contrary, it requires utmost consistency and discipline. This is why our rigorous investment processes, carefully perfected over 55 years, really add value.
ONE SIZE FITS NONE
Our deeply ingrained private wealth management culture has taught us that the needs of each investor are different. As an institutional investor, we will devise the best solution for you too.
LONG-LASTING STRATEGIES, NOT FLAVOUR-OF-THE-DAY PRODUCTS
You won’t see us knocking at your door every month pushing the latest investment fad. On the contrary, our range of strategies is carefully honed to capture long-lasting trends and fulfill real investment needs.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES

Rule #1: Don’t lose money. 

Rule #2: Don’t forget Rule #1.

ABSOLUTE PERFORMANCE
Unlike most asset managers, who are satisfied with hugging indices, we have a more ambitious objective: to deliver positive returns over a full market cycle.
RISK IS PART OF THE PROCESS
Risk is an unavoidable fact of investment life. So instead of hiding our head in the sand, we integrate risk management at every step of our processes.
NS PARTNERS’ GOT TALENTS!
If you want the best performance, you need the best fund managers. So, over the years, we have developed a stringent selection methodology to identify the best outside talents. And, thanks to a unique corporate culture, we are also able to attract and retain the best personalities for our in-house teams.
THINK DEEP, REACT FAST
Our investments are the result of thorough fundamental research. Starting with a global macro scenario, we then determine the best asset allocation and carefully cherry-pick managers or securities to build robust portfolios. But we also know how to react quickly in case of unforeseen events.
