Mutual funds/investment funds
In the last time HMW was asked by several clients to develop and to raise various funds for private equity. HMW offers also the management of the funds to the clients.
By these funds the client acquires capital which is independent of banks. If the client is a special distribution company for investment capital the funds gains two advantages: the client can earn commission for the distribution and he can benefit from the earnings of the funds.
These funds are a replacement for life insurances which are no tax shelter in Germany any more because of amendments in law. The funds generate predictable earnings and don’t have the risks of stock markets.
