Benefit from the experienced experts of the OptionEarner team
Eckart Keil
Since 1995, Eckart Keil has successfully managed and supervised international equity and bond funds with option strategies, for which he has won numerous international awards with top marks (including the Lipper Fund Award, Euro-Finanzenaward, Best of Newcomer-Fundaward, article in Wirtschaftswoche as the best fund in its category).
He learned an anti-cyclical, value-oriented investment philosophy from his “stations” with Andrè Kostolany, Gottfried Heller and Dr. Jens Ehrhardt.
To date, the focus has been on portfolio optimization, hedging and, above all, yield-enhancing strategies such as premium transactions –
more important than ever in the current low interest rate environment!
