We invest ultra-passively.
No one can consistently predict market prices correctly. That is why we simply follow the global economy. It is no longer a secret that this approach delivers far better returns than active investing.
We keep costs very low.
You won’t find fancy client events here, because they only add unnecessary expense. High costs can still wipe out a strong return. View Stoic’s fees and compare them with other asset managers.
Sure, a nice return sounds great. But if a big chunk disappears into exclusive client events and expensive Christmas wine, there is not much left. That is why at Stoic we keep costs as low as possible. You will not be pampered, but you can count on keeping as much return as possible.
You spread capital as broadly as possible across the global economy. That feels safe. But is it also good for returns?
Absolutely. Just read this blog article. It shows that at Stoic, we achieve (much) better returns than the average Dutch asset manager.
How?
Here’s the deal: many active investors try to "beat the market", meaning they try to pick just the right stocks that will outperform. The underperforming stocks are, of course, left out. The goal is to outperform the average return of the entire market, which includes both winners and losers.
But today, stock prices are influenced by so many unpredictable factors that, in our view, forecasting them is impossible. Active investing has become little more than guesswork. Sometimes you're lucky, but more often you're not. And over the long term, this hit-and-miss approach usually delivers weaker returns.
That’s why we at Stoic ignore the noise. We spread your capital as broadly as possible across the global economy, and then barely touch it. Share prices may be unpredictable, but the global economy grows over time. We follow the market. Study after study shows this is best for your return. We know, it’s boring. But it’s the hard truth.
