The Swiss fund for money market investors
Swiss Safety for Your Liquidity – In addition to USD, now available in EUR, GBP and CHF share classes
Proven successful since 2012 – today investable as a fund. QCAM has been managing the Short Term Fixed Income USD strategy for over a decade as part of a client mandate (managed account) with great success. The strategy is based on an active management approach and consistently pursues the goal of optimising returns while maintaining a high level of security. On 31 March 2025, this proven solution was implemented for the first time in the form of a Swiss investment fund and is now accessible to a broader group of investors.
The Strategy
The QCAM Short Term Fixed Income USD strategy actively invests in the money market with an average term of around three months. Investments are made exclusively in high-quality borrowers – preferably public-sector or state-guaranteed institutions, particularly in Switzerland. Through active management, yield potential from the interest rate and currency market (FX Premium) as well as attractive private placements are utilised in a targeted manner. At the same time, a consistent FX best-execution approach (without hidden returns) ensures that every transaction is processed efficiently and transparently. Full hedging in USD eliminates currency risk and makes the strategy particularly suitable for investors with a USD basis or USD exposure.
Successful implementation since 2012 with average assets under management of around USD 2.5 billion.
- Continuous outperformance against relevant benchmark indices since launch 2012
- Conservative approach: investments via first-class counterparties, preferably in Switzerland
- Short maturities: Target term approx. 3 months
- 100% USD hedging for maximum predictability
New: EUR, GBP and CHF Share Classes
With the newly approved share classes, you can now invest in EUR, GBP, or CHF. All these share classes are currency-hedged and based on the same secure Swiss portfolio – identical risk, identical quality.
Your advantage: Cash-like liquidity + attractive returns in the currency of your choice.
An Attractive Alternative to Traditional Money Market Solutions
The strategy offers professional investors an ideal alternative to traditional money market funds or bank deposits – with daily liquidity and a transparent cost structure. The current interest rate environment means that returns above inflation with low risk are once again realistically achievable.
