Argos Investment Managers SA is changing its name to QUAERO CAPITAL SA.
The rebranding is driven by the firm’s continuing international expansion and a growing concern that its original name may lead to confusion with other businesses in the sector.
Founded in 2005 in Geneva, QUAERO CAPITAL SA is a specialist investment management boutique that offers a range of actively managed, high-conviction funds with a commitment to fundamental research and original thinking. ‘Quaero’ – the Latin word for ‘I research’ or ‘I seek’, is consistent with that commitment.
QUAERO CAPITAL SA is 100% employee owned. Its founding partners, Cristofer Gelli and Philip Best, were joined in 2011 by CEO Jean Keller and, in 2014, by Head of Development Thierry Callault.
Co-founder and Chairman Cristofer Gelli said today, “We are creating an environment where talented investment professionals work in a culture which promotes investment excellence. We believe that this is the key to delivering consistent and repeatable returns over the long term.”
QUAERO CAPITAL SA currently offers a range of 12 investment strategies, available through segregated mandates or through investment funds. These funds are incorporated into two umbrella SICAVs in Luxembourg (a UCITS Part I and a SIF). QUAERO CAPITAL SA currently manages CHF 600 million with a staff of 27 in 4 locations across Europe (Geneva, Zurich, Paris and London).
