Fabrizio De Tomasi, CEO
We have a family culture in which we all work together to deliver the best outcomes for clients. Our flat structure stimulates debate and encourages fresh ideas.
We see our clients as partners, with many having been invested with us since the inception of our funds.
We provide in-house, independent expertise without benchmark constraints. We don’t follow market trends or sentiment, but instead focus on our own research.
Our equity strategy buys quality when undervalued relative to intrinsic values. Our fixed income strategy identifies mispricing through a quantamental approach.
Integrity and transparency are placed at the core of the way we do business. We understand the inherent responsibilities with growing and safeguarding clients’ assets
We exploit irrational investor behaviour. Periods of market stress and turmoil often generate great opportunities.
In 2007, we started our fund management business with a mission to be a long term and trusted investment partner – guiding clients through unpredictable European financial markets.
Since then, We have always focused on what we do best: investment management, not asset gathering. In 2022, our UCITS funds became SFDR Article 8 compliant and in 2023, we became a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment.
