Performance transparency contribution

For over 35 years, BearBull Group’s founders have made regular contributions to increasing transparency in private banking and wealth management services, developing tools and benchmarks in Swiss francs, Euros and USD that have been embraced by the financial community and are now widely recognized and used by both investment professionals and private and institutional clients, pension funds in Switzerland and abroad.

In the opaque world of global wealth management, a lack of clear performance transparency remains a major challenge for affluent investors. To bridge this clarity gap, BearBull publishes its own proprietary reference benchmarks. Designed as independent diagnostic tools, our indices empower you to measure—on a monthly basis—the returns of theoretical balanced portfolios which perfectly aligns wit Industry Mandates.

The architecture of the BearBull Strategy Indices directly mirrors the traditional risk frameworks—Low, Medium, and Dynamic—that leading global private banks and wealth managers use to classify client mandates.

Whether your current portfolio is managed under a Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive growth mandate, our indices offer a seamless, apples-to-apples comparison against standard industry parameters.

Private Banking Benchmarks exclusively designed for the UAE

Here in the UAE we have decided to pursue our commitment to greater transparency and most importantly to providing performance measurement tools accessible to all by leading the way once again and providing UAE investors with the unique family of UAE performance comparison benchmarks for multi-asset strategies in wealth/asset management. In fact, our constant quest for client satisfaction and our interactions with our clients in the Middle East have made it clear that there is an increasing and pressing need for comparison tools that would enable our clients and partners to evaluate the performance and the quality of services provided by bankers.
