About Us

Our Vision

As an independent asset and wealth management company, we believe we should offer only products and services we would want to use ourselves. Our offering should take into consideration the major trends that are currently at work and will shape the world of finance for the foreseeable future:

We take these key criteria into account to bring you the most productive investment solutions.

Weathering the market cycles

We are driven to perform well in bull markets. And we are driven to protect assets during inevitable crises.

Governments and central banks are subjected to ever greater political pressure to actively stimulate the economy. This chronic interference creates macroeconomic imbalances, pushing financial risks higher.


Our investment strategies are built to take into account extreme market movements to ensure sustainable performance in the long-run.

Making the irrational rational

Markets tend to be relatively efficient. But the psychological pressure put on financial industry professionals invariably leads to irrationality.

We design strategies based on our profound understanding of market fundamentals. We value rationality and our strategies employ quantitative methods not only to sidestep behavioral biases, but also to capitalize on them. As a result, we consistently generate alpha with an ultimate goal to enhance the portfolios of our clients.

Money should be
productive

To ensure your money is managed in the most productive way, we focus on specific market niches.

You can count on our expertise to make a real difference, especially in the environment of lower capital returns driven by the knowledge economy.

Who makes
dominicé happen

They are qualified specialists in their fields, possessing strong professional ethics and a willingness to challenge the status quo.
