Fisch Asset Management

Fisch Asset Management is an asset manager specialising in select investment strategies. We offer convertible bond, corporate bond and multi asset solutions. Our objective is to create added value for long-term investors through active management. The company’s core strength lies in its long experience in the fields of credit and momentum.

Founded in Zurich in 1994 by two brothers, Kurt Fisch and Dr Pius Fisch, Fisch Asset Management has made a name for itself as an independent asset manager and as a global leader in convertible bonds. The company has 75 employees and manages assets of around CHF 6 billion (EUR 6 billion) for institutional investors primarily based in Europe.

We view our corporate culture, which includes transparency, open communication, mutual respect, team spirit and entrepreneurial incentives, as the basis for our long-term success. We are a specialised independent asset manager, and are able to ensure continuity thanks to our team approach and dedicated staff, many of whom have been with us for many years. To support the investment process, our portfolio managers use state-of-the-art technology to ensure that we continue to achieve outstanding performance in the future.
