Initially there was just the pain seeing asset managers come to Germany with a lot of enthusiasm and a seemingly endless budget and waving them good-bye once their budget was depleted and their hopes destroyed. Then I figured there must be a better way for them to work and sell their services here.

Then we recalled what had fascinated our senior MD most in his professional carreer. It was "convexity" in fixed income. As a fund manager you can (and should) add convexity. In fact, the more you own the better your portfolio performs in rising and falling rates scenarios.

If you don't offer your clients the choice they will get the choice elsewhere and choose another supplier.

That created the whole business idea. Providing convexity to the asset management business(financial maths), providing sharper vision (optics) and building bridges between asset managers and the German speaking markets.

We are committed to providing our clients with Asset Management products and services that meet their requirements and are tailored to their asset allocation goals. At the same time we are committed to providing our principals with access to a very exciting market.

We did not start this business to merely sell products. We seek to add value by presenting those suppliers of products to our asset management clients which are likely to significantly enhance portfolio performance. Be it through the addition of a further asset class or by modifying an existing portfolio. We deliver producers to your doorstep that cannot or do not wish to establish their own presence in our market.

These products should enable our clients and principals to do an even better job. Be it adding such product to our clients' investment portfolio or selling your product.

It is our aim to become part of this improvement process.
