About
Dear Investors,
I founded RICHTWERT because I believe you deserve better than investment advisors and managers
-
who have never built or run a company,
-
who invest their own money differently than yours, and
-
who charge high fees and commissions regardless of your success.
In my prior roles as a consultant, an e-commerce director and a founder, I had experienced repeatedly that decision makers make better decisions when they are incentivized to think like owners.
However, when I enthusiastically entered the investment industry in 2010, I discovered that almost no one views themselves as an owner when investing in stocks. Instead, I found meaningless statistics, unrealistic predictive models, and misaligned incentives creating significant conflicts of interest between investors and their advisors.
​
Disappointed with how the industry works and the harm this causes to clients, I founded RICHTWERT to provide you with a
fair, entrepreneurial and intelligent alternative to what is common in investment management:
​
-
At RICHTWERT, I am always in the same boat with you, because in addition to being solely responsible for our investments, I have also invested almost all my net worth as a client in the same portfolio that I manage for you.
​
-
Moreover, you only pay RICHTWERT for success. We don’t charge you any fees and we don’t receive any commissions. You only pay a profit share when we achieve at least 6% per year for you.
​
-
Finally, I always invest like a business owner - rational, value-oriented, risk-averse, long-term, independent, focused and opportunistic. I only invest in businesses where I would not mind if the market closed for five years and where I would also be happy to invest up to 30% of our capital given the right price. This is the kind of conviction I look for before investing.
I hope you find the result worthwhile and look forward to welcoming you as a long-term investor in the circle of our successful business owners and investors.
Sincerely,
