Our Fund

The Hard Value Fund from the in-house fund division of van Grunsteyn pursues an open and conservative strategy for financial sustainability. The fund's various tranches are suitable for both private investors and a wide range of institutional investors.

About us

Walter Ludwig is one of the few remaining traditional, family-run private banks („Wertpapierhandelsbank“). For more than forty years, we have been making our mark in the competition among global financial service providers as an internationally active company with deep roots in the Frankfurt banking landscape. Innovative entrepreneurship coupled with a very large network form the cornerstones of our success.

Hard Value Fund

The Fund for Financial Sustainability

Financial Sustainability

When it comes to building or expanding your wealth, we don't want to engage in experiments. We pursue a serious investment strategy and focus on conservative values. The Hard Value Fund brings together an elite selection of stocks that, according to our analysis, meet all criteria for financial sustainability. In this way, we aim to optimize investment success and sustainably balance even volatile markets.

Our Philosophy

When it comes to your financial sustainability, there are no limits for us. Precisely because only a select few securities make it into our fund, we search worldwide across all industries and sectors for elite stocks. Whether in green technologies, pharmaceuticals, nutrition, fossil fuels, ecological business models, defense industries, or consumer goods — the only decisive factor is our strict criteria for financial sustainability. Our requirements and standards are so high that we cannot limit ourselves to any specific industries, sectors, or countries.
