Far from the current trend towards standardized investments, we are convinced that there are a few talented individuals who can make a difference. Year after year, we identify the best money managers worldwide, with whom we've established long-lasting relationships.
To complement these external skills and build our own in-house talent pool, we hire highly qualified professionals to develop our own investment strategies. Today, they successfully manage a wide range of top-performing funds, recognized by many prestigious industry awards.
■ Strong relationships
Thanks to strong relationships built over the years, we have established an extensive worldwide contact network.
■ Proven track record
Since 1964, we have established a proven track-record of delivering superior absolute returns, with a focus on limiting downside risk.
■ Client-centric
Client-centric by nature, we know that a “one size fits all” approach really fits no one. Our agile structure makes us very responsive.
PIONEERING ASSET MANAGEMENT
SINCE 1964
1964
The founding vision
Beat Notz, a truly independent and visionary mind, imagines a new wealth management concept in Geneva. During the decades that followed, the firm would discover and invest with some of the most talented fund managers of the modern era.
1967
First UCITS fund in Luxembourg
On 28 April 1967, we established our first Luxembourg-based long only collective investment vehicle, DGC SICAV (later rebranded Diversified Growth Company), which became the first UCITS fund in Luxembourg.
1974
Pioneering alternative investments
We pioneer a whole new industry when we co-found Haussmann Holdings, one of the very first fund of hedge funds, thus allowing a wider public access to alternative investments.
1975
Notz Stucki & Cie is created
Beat Notz partners with his friend Christian Stucki to create Notz Stucki & Cie. Ahead of his time, he initiates an activity that was still very embryonic in Europe at the time: pension fund management.
1987
European hedge fund expertise
As the less efficient markets of Europe provide good investment opportunities, we decide to launch our Europe-focused fund of funds and are thus able to invest, right from the start, with some of the major names in European hedge funds.
2000s
Expansion and new strategies
After having relied for 30 years on combining outside talent to build multi-manager portfolios, we complement this unique expertise by launching our own single-manager strategies, in particular with funds based on promising investment themes.
2008
Navigating the financial crisis
Hedge funds suffer heavily during the 2008 financial crisis. Driven to complacency by the influx of capital and rising markets, many alternative managers had massively increased their risk and leverage. Our rigorous due diligence and risk management processes prove their value.
2013
Luxembourg Super ManCo — triple licence
In December 2013, our Luxembourg entity becomes the 1st Super ManCo in Luxembourg to be granted the AIFM License, the Management Company under Chapter 15 of the UCITS Law license and the Wealth Management Activity extended services — all three licences at once.
2021
Notz Stucki becomes NS Partners
With a new generation on board and in order to reflect the evolution of our activities, we change our brand name to NS Partners. The letters NS — initials of founders Beat Notz and Christian Stucki — carry the Group's heritage forward while signalling a new strategic chapter.
2026
Today — Partners of your success
Founded in 1964, NS Partners is now one of the largest independent investment management groups in Switzerland and in Europe, managing or administering more than CHF 10 billion in assets across three highly complementary activities: Wealth Management, Asset Management and Management Company services.
