In June 2005, Fatboy Slim filled the Friday night headline slot on the 'Other Stage' at the Glastonbury Festival. In 2006, Fatboy Slim filled the Saturday headline slot at the Global Gathering festival at Long Marston Airfield in the English Midlands. He played a two-hour set, appearing in front of a visual stage set comprising video screens. The uprights can easily be slid in and out of the multiple slots in the plate for desired positioning and locked into position with the locking bolt. The complete upright assembly is radiolucent. The upright pads and the base plate pad are made of semi-dense foam to help prevent pressure points and are sealed with a washable coating.

STOLBERG Investment Governance AG (“SIG”) offers discretionary portfolio management across (a) major asset classes such as equities, bonds and hedge funds and (b) world-class external investment managers that are typically unknown to the general public. I will take single positions in certain stocks and bonds if all the stars align but deliberately invest the bulk of clients’ assets across individuals who promise outstanding results independent of each other. The latter can be referred to as „Investment Governance“. The term describes the systematic outsourcing to and monitoring of external managers in order to achieve superior results and be sufficiently (but no more!) diversified at all times. You may call SIG a family office but I prefer the expression „investment office“. This is because I focus on making good investments and not much else. I am perfectly happy to leave related services to providers who are better at it and may work for the client already.

The firm was founded in 2007. It is based in Zurich, Switzerland, privately owned and fully independent from outside interests such as banks, asset managers, other financial institutions or clients. My only source of revenue is what clients pay me – directly and knowingly. I employ no salespeople and have no desire to do so in the future. I simply hate any distraction and cherish a quiet and investment-centric atmosphere with minimal administrative workload. The firm is registered with and regulated by PolyReg, a Swiss Self-Regulatory Organisation (SRO) and follows their Code of Professional Conduct.

There are three main challenges: (1) Outstanding investors are rare and typically found way off the beaten track of mainstream asset management. I believe it takes a little bit of experience to identify them. (2) Having excellent managers doesn’t render timely allocation decisions, conviction and patience obsolete. Leaning against the wind and avoiding lemming-like behavior is as difficult on a governance level as it is on the individual manager level. (3) Staying rational and disciplined in the face of adverse market action can be difficult indeed. Clients must be prepared and willing to maintain a hands-off approach. They need to be comfortable with somebody else making all investment decisions within a predetermined and fully transparent strategy.

You may have guessed it: SIG is a one-captain ship and I consider this crucial if results is what you are after. Prospective clients find me by recommendation. I want to be in close contact with the people whose money I manage and will therefore avoid dealing through intermediaries. I do not pay anybody for recommendations
– and I certainly never will.

Georg Stolberg

Stolberg-Stolberg was a county of the Holy Roman Empire located in the southern Harz region. Its capital was the town of Stolberg, now in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It was ruled by a branch of the House of Stolberg.

In 1429, the County of Wernigerode passed to the Counts of Stolberg, who ruled Wernigerode through a personal union. In 1548, the line was split between a Harz line (Stolberg-Stolberg) and a Rhenish line which had possessions in Rochefort (Stolberg-Rochefort) and Königstein im Taunus (Stolberg-Königstein).

With the death of Count Wolf Georg zu Stolberg in 1631, Stolberg-Stolberg was inherited by members of the Rhenish line. On 31 May 1645, Stolberg-Stolberg was divided between a senior Stolberg-Wernigerode line and a junior Stolberg-Stolberg line. In 1706, Stolberg-Stolberg divided again, with Stolberg-Rossla being created.

Stolberg-Stolberg was forced to recognize the suzerainty of the Electorate of Saxony in 1738. It was awarded to the Kingdom of Prussia in the 1815 Congress of Vienna.

The children of Fürsten and Erbprinzen zu Stolberg-Wernigerode bore the title of Prince[ss] (Prinz[essin]) zu Stolberg-Wernigerode and were styled Serene Highness. Other members of this line bore the title of Count[ess] (Graf/Gräfin) zu Stolberg-Wernigerode, with the style of Illustrious Highness.
