Wealth management
for private individuals

Your wealth is of great importance in all respects. Would you like your portfolio to be conservatively managed? Our managed account service might be the right solution. Laaken offers discretionary wealth management based on a model or customised portfolio for mandates from €1,000,000. Your portfolio is managed in your name at a custody bank of your choice. Transactions are carried out by Laaken in your own account.

Our investment policy

Core to the philosophy of Laaken is setting up risk and cost efficient investment portfolios. We invest directly in a selection of individual shares and bonds with a long-term horizon. Laaken has a profound understanding and a good reason to invest in each of the constituents in your portfolio.

Your investment profile

Before we set up your portfolio, we establish a personal investor profile with your investment goals, level of knowledge and desired risk and return. Depending on this profile, your portfolio will follow one of our model portfolios: Defensive, Balanced or Offensive. If you have more specific investment requirements, we can fully customise your portfolio to better reflect your wishes and objectives.

Our model portfolios

Defensive Balanced Offensive

The investment objective of the Laaken Balanced model portfolio is capital growth and income generation. We invest ~60% in equities and ~40% in fixed income. The model portfolio has achieved an average gross return of 7.7% per year versus the benchmark of 5.3%.
