Explanation

This view shows the potential performance in a favourable (95th percentile), average (50th percentile) and unfavourable (5th percentile) scenario. We assume that returns compounded over multiple periods follow a log-normal distribution.

All information is based on the strategy’s asset allocation Select. A conservative portfolio aims for stable returns with low fluctuations in value. A balanced portfolio seeks a balance between return opportunities and fluctuations in value. A growth-oriented portfolio focuses on high return opportunities and consciously accepts fluctuations in value in exchange.

The projected profit or loss is based on the long-term capital-market assumptions of ZUWAX, LGT and Neuberger Berman. Unlike the sum of contributions, the actual profit or loss depends on how capital markets develop. All figures are shown before personal taxes and inflation. Extreme scenarios have not been modelled. The projection is indicative.

Past performance, simulations and forecasts are not a reliable indicator of the future performance of your portfolio.

The success of the investments shows that even in difficult phases it is possible to avoid losses
