The alpha way to invest

We are passionate specialists. With clear views and without the need to focus on benchmarks, we are free to follow our conviction that specialist knowledge can convert alpha potential into outperformance. That is why we focus entirely on asset classes away from major indices. Everything we think and do is guided by unique quality standards based on active entrepreneurship, product transparency and clarity, teams that enjoy significant freedom, and ambitious goals.


We take performance personally

Our ambition is to achieve ambitious, transparent goals compared to an index or absolute performance goals. This means holding ourselves to the high standard of ensuring that our funds remain in the first quintile of their asset class over the long term. For us, added value means more than systematic outperformance: it means exceptional service, with streamlined processes, short decision-making paths and tailor-made solutions for the specific requirements of our clients and partners.
