Over the past 25 years, we have been active players in the international securities market. We managed commercial banks, family offices and actively invested in various sectors of the economy. We have implemented many investment projects, created effective market investment strategies and successfully managed them in good times and bad; we know the legal, tax and technical features of investing in various jurisdictions. We have developed a wide network of contacts and found a common language with the best lawyers, administrators and tax consultants.
Modern markets are noticeably more complex: KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements are becoming more stringent; people are more skeptical of investors from the CIS countries, and new information exchange systems limit those whose investment portfolio is poorly organized.
Due to the abundance of free capital in the global financial markets, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find good investment opportunities; the macroeconomic situation is unstable, and volatility and corrections are inevitable. More and more offers and products with "casino" features appear on the market, while more and more managers ignore the hidden risks. In our opinion, "ignoring risk" is not acceptable.
Against this background, we decided to focus our experience, knowledge and approaches to market positioning on managing our own investment portfolio and are happy to help partners, colleagues and all investors in terms of advice and services for structuring investments, financial, investment and technical expertise, working with suppliers and others. related areas.
We develop investment strategies and are constantly looking for projects with the aim not only to maintain the real cost of capital, but also to obtain a fair return with a high predictability of results.
According to our views the safety of the capital is more important than profitability:we do not offer promising strategies that involve significant risks for investors.
We study the macro situation, markets, industries, individual companies and even shareholders and management in great detail, before making investment decisions. We must understand the market, the state of the industry, the financial situation of the company, the quality of management, the position of shareholders and non-financial risks.
The more well-known the investment, the less profitable it is. The market has many information barriers that prevent most investors from accessing accurate analysis of issuers and transactions, therefore large and institutional investors refrain from buying local securities, small issues, complex structural instruments.
We are looking for small, local, not included in widely used indexes and ratings, little-known opportunities for investment.
The market reacts to news more rapidly than they deserve. Such reaction is stretched in time due to bureaucratic procedures and insufficient attention to the market by big and massive investors.
We acquire instrument at the moments when negative news causes an excessive drop in their price; we also do this at a time when significant news changes our perception of the instrument’s value, and the market has not yet absorbed this change.
