Illiquid Wealth

Our entrepreneurs and clients are founders and shareholders of the fastest growing private companies in the world. They have invented unique technologies and are scaling global businesses.
 
Their companies have raised multi-million investment rounds from the most reputable institutional investors, specialists in their market.

However, before meeting us, these entrepreneurs remained extremely wealthy only on paper. Facing constant financial pressure in their everyday personal life, without being able to benefit from the true value of their wealth.

Unbalanced Portfolio

A saying that dates back to 1615 is considered today the underlying investment philosophy of all the most prestigious financial institutions.

 "It is the part of a wise man to keep himself today for tomorrow, and not venture all his eggs in one basket." - Miguel Cervantes

​The lion's share of the wealth of our entrepreneurs is tied to the performance of their one company.
 An undeniable specific risk, even when their companies are soaring.

Collective Equity 

A unique solution for our entrepreneurs who own large positions, but of only one company. A company we must believe in, have demonstrated its growth, and been approved by our due diligence team as well as our investment committee.

To these selected shareholders, we offer the opportunity to pool a part of their holdings with shareholders of other companies. In doing so we provide our clients the benefit of participating in the future liquidity events of each other's companies without giving up ownership.

For the underlying companies, we do not disrupt the cap table nor the board, and in return create a synergistic network that will be beneficial for your growth.

Liquidity Solution

Financial stress results in a dimmed business acumen, rushed long term strategic decisions, and overall negligence to day to day operations. The liquidity we offer is aligned with the voyage of our clients.

To our clients we provide partial liquidity upfront, through packaging our collective equity fund, and increased exposure to return on equity overtime by participating in the returns of the portfolio.

Strategic Asset Allocation

A diversified portfolio is one that has uncorrelated outcomes due to different industry actions and reactions.

Having exposure to more companies, including your own, increases the probability of our clients to see returns on their equity.

Portfolios are diversified as a function of industry and maturity, removing market risk and specific risk.
