LOYS AG is a global equity fund management company based in Oldenburg; its fund management activities are controlled from Chicago. As a premium provider in the global equity fund segment, LOYS AG focuses on targeting and exploiting its competitive advantages. The LOYS culture is characterised by internationality and independence.
The owners, fund managers and staff at LOYS invest their own money in LOYS funds. The investment philosophy practised at LOYS is focused on the conservative management of investments in a process that is organised as follows: based on a thorough company analysis, the acquisition strategy for the fund assets concentrates as far as possible on shares that appear significantly undervalued. Each equity is individually weighted, the primary criterion here being the attractiveness of the company in absolute terms, which is measured against a calculation of the degree of undervaluation. The make-up of the fund assets is based exclusively on the number and attractiveness of the available equities. If no or not enough investment opportunities appear attractive, the decision is made to hold liquidity accordingly.
Founded in 1995, LOYS now manages an equity fund volume of some EUR 500 million. As a financial services provider licensed under the German Banking Act, LOYS is subject to the supervision of the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin).
