High-yield liquid savings

With net returns of 13.48% in 2022, 10.73% in 2023 and 10.51% in 2024, Phocus1 ranks among the best liquid investments in Luxembourg. Depositary bank: JPMorgan, Frankfurt.

However, the economic situation remains tense, with the many geopolitical unknowns that will mark the years ahead. How will central bank interest rate policies evolve to contain inflation or to induce recession in certain sectors such as real estate?

To address this, we rely on 2024 macroeconomic data and on the emergence of new investment paradigms.

Through our alternative investment fund in Luxembourg, benefit from a high-yield investment.

Volatility is now present across all financial markets. Exposure to options strategies provides genuine diversification while remaining uncorrelated with traditional directional market movements.

By investing in Phocus1, you do not endure volatility, you manage it. You do not depend on bull or bear cycles: our approach seeks to stabilise exposure and maintain a controlled risk profile over time.

With Phocus1, you benefit from a direction-neutral management method based on liquid and transparent markets (commodities, government bonds, equities), while protecting yourself from macroeconomic shocks and global uncertainty.

What makes currencies the most favorable underlying asset right now?

- Liquid and accessible market: options on major currencies, indices, commodities and interest rates benefit from deep markets and are quoted continuously. - Impact of economic decisions: macroeconomic announcements, interest rates and monetary policies create changes in volatility that offer measurable, well-defined opportunities. - Portfolio diversification: different underlyings do not react in the same way to economic shocks, which helps stabilise the overall profile of a portfolio. - Resilience in times of uncertainty: certain long-established underlyings (gold, major indices, major currencies) retain their defensive qualities in stressed environments. We rely on continuous macroeconomic analysis and on a direction-neutral management methodology, adapted to new economic cycles, monetary policies and current volatility dynamics.

Unique features for optimal investment

A favorable tax environment in Luxembourg

Phocus1 stands out for its high level of performance, generating distributable returns. It is therefore an ideal solution for those seeking a stable and attractive additional income.

Protection and diversification

Your savings are converted into units in Luxembourg, providing enhanced protection. Your capital is shielded from any potential seizure or taxation by bankrupt states.

The best of compound interest

Phocus1 is designed to accelerate the growth of your capital while maximising your gains. Thanks to the deferral of annual returns permitted in Luxembourg, you benefit fully from tax-free compounding. Based on past performance, capital invested in Phocus1 can double in less than 6 years and triple in 9 years.

Note: Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

Optimized Tax Structure

Phocus1 benefits from tax neutrality. Structured as an AIF (Alternative Investment Fund) through a Luxembourg SCS (special limited partnership), it offers optimised taxation. The SCS is not subject to tax on its annual profits; instead, taxation is based on the capital gain realised on exit. For example, this allows zero taxation in Belgium, Luxembourg or Portugal (for NHR residents), 10% in Greece and 30% in France, depending on the investor’s tax residence.

How is Phocus able to deliver strong performance?

Our trading strategy is based on rigorous monitoring of monetary indices and in-depth analysis of macroeconomic trends, with particular attention paid to geopolitical events likely to cause significant market tensions (for example Brexit, the COVID crisis, the war in Ukraine and tensions in the Middle East).

Our ability to generate higher performance lies in our capacity to take advantage of intense market fluctuations.

To do so, we track 4 main monetary indicators: trend indicators, momentum indicators (directly linked to our alert and weak-signal detection system), volume indicators and volatility indicators, the latter being linked to our hedging system.

Before the 2000s, within the investment community, index funds were a well-kept secret, as their performance regularly outpaced that of investment funds run by traditional managers.

Investors who seized this emerging opportunity enjoyed superior and consistent returns. Some of them became major players in the industry by launching investment funds based on these new methods.

In the same spirit, by creating a fund based on options, Phocus1 makes accessible a type of investment that has long been a well-kept secret of banks, which have earned a significant share of their annual profits from it since loans stopped yielding anything because of low interest rates, as confirmed in particular by the Les Échos article here.

« My experience of investing led me to discover that to achieve exceptional returns, you must place yourself in an exceptional context, as close as possible to where value is created. We have recreated this context by bringing together the main performance levers used by the major players in US finance on the money market. »
