A proprietary methodology with three dimensions

DJE's proprietary FMM methodology, focusing on the three key dimensions that determine performance (fundamental, monetary and technical market factors), and originally based on the doctoral thesis of founder Dr. Jens Ehrhardt, is an indispensable part of its investment process. This unique investment framework is based on the principle that above-average returns can be achieved not only by taking into account fundamental factors such as overall market valuation and by conducting rigorous company research, but also by incorporating certain monetary and technical market factors.

In terms of strategic asset allocation at DJE, the first dimension, fundamentals, takes priority. DJE carries out an in-depth analysis of macroeconomic indicators and stock index fundamentals, focusing on long-term developments. This analysis helps to produce indicator-based forecasts for economic data such as GDP growth, employment and inflation, and serves as a basis for market price forecasts.

The second dimension relates to monetary indicators, which measure the liquidity available in equity and bond markets. DJE understands that liquidity is a necessary condition for sustained demand for risky assets, and central bank policies play a crucial role in this respect.

The third dimension comprises a broad set of technical market indicators, including proprietary sentiment indicators from DJE's database. These indicators provide information on important markets such as equities, bonds, currencies and commodities, especially for short-term decision making.
