It's a common practice for investors to focus on performance metrics like Total Shareholder Return (TSR) when evaluating investment options. While these figures can be tempting to compare, they often paint an incomplete picture, especially for long-term investors.
The Obermatt Swiss Pearls Index (OMSP1) is a testament to this principle. While it's true that OMSP1 has outperformed many mainstream Swiss indices, such as the SPI and SMI, we believe this comparison misses the main point of the index. Also, one must remember that past performance is not indicative of future results.
Investing is a marathon, not a sprint. Short-term performance fluctuations can be influenced by numerous factors, including market sentiment and external events. True investment value is revealed over the long term. At Obermatt, we believe in investing in companies that align with your values and your vision of the future. By investing in OMSP1, you're not just buying into an index; you're supporting a portfolio of Swiss companies that reflect the country's economy and that support its growth and sustainability.
Instead of getting caught up in short-term performance comparisons, we encourage investors to delve deeper into the underlying factors that drive long-term value:
- Do the companies in the index have solid fundamentals?
- How are the growth prospects of the companies?
Our commitment to building a robust and diversified index that reflects the Swiss economy remains unwavering. OMSP1 is built on a foundation of rigorous research and a deep understanding of the Swiss economy. Unlike indices that primarily focus on market capitalization, we look beyond the largest players to identify companies that truly represent the Swiss economic landscape.
