Im Vergleich zur eher vorsichtigen Vorschau des letzten Managerberichtes sehen wir für das laufende Geschäftsjahr ein wesentlich positiveres Bild. In der Kombination von stärkerer Sach- und Substanzorientierung mit weiterhin hohen Erträgen und dem Abbau von temporären marktbedingten Kursrückgängen besteht deutliches Outperformance-potential.
He mentioned earlier in the text investments in precious metals and real estate (among other things), but I don't know if that's what he's referring to with this.

orientation towards real assets (or hard assets)
Here: ... a stronger orientation towards real [or hard] assets....
Sach- und Substanzwerte are pretty much the same and refer to whatis called "real assets" or "hard assets" as far as I know.
German Definition of "Sachwerte"
Auch: Substanzwerte. Als Sachwerte bezeichnet man Kapitaleinlagen die weniger durch Inflation gefährdet sind als Nominalwerte wie z.B. Geldforderungen. Sachwerte sind insbesondere Aktien, Immobilien, Gold, sowie Investmentfonds, die sich aus diesen Werten zusammensetzen.

i.e. exactly those categories that are also mentioned in the text.
English definition of "real assets":
The term "real assets" refers to a broad category of investment options that are characterized by the fact that they are tangible (as opposed to stocks, bonds, and CDs which are "paper" assets.) Real assets, also sometimes called hard assets, can play an important part in any investment portfolio - including those focused on safety and income. However, there are some important caveats and additional considerations that come with investing in real assets.

focus on quality
See the discussion entries for more context.
I think it's just a fancy way of saying they're placing more of a focus on the quality of the stocks they invest in. You could also say "increased emphasis on stock picking".
