A forward- and growth-oriented strategy focused on profitability
Future growth will primarily be fueled by the investment performance of existing products, the development of interesting new products and the acquisition of new clients. We have a sound platform and clear strategy to grow on all three fronts.
Growing with our established products is a priority. Our existing products offer us substantial growth potential and the best returns. «Grow with the products» is only possible by maintaining and innovating top-quality products. Continuous investment in modern platforms and infrastructure ensures our ability to meet that goal.
A steady expansion of the underlying client base is also needed to grow with the products. Here we are pursuing various strategies to expand already strong positions in existing markets and to establish new positions in strategic secondary markets.
Reliable quality and strong innovation are the basic prerequisites for generating high value for our stakeholders.
André Rüegg
CEO Bellevue Group
Besides quality, innovation is another key growth driver. The development of innovative concepts for non-traditional and traditional products enables us to take full advantage of our business model’s growth potential. We therefore strive to expand «Bellevue Private Markets» and in other specialized areas.
The pipeline of ideas and products for the coming years is well-filled. At the same time, existing products or services that no longer have a truly distinctive or sharp competitive edge will be re-positioned or discontinued. We are not seeking growth in and of itself, but rather sustained, quality earnings potential with an attractive cost/income ratio.
