About us

Who we are

What we aspire to•

We aspire to be the premier Portuguese-based alternative investment manager, by meeting the unfulfilled demand for a trusted fund manager of alternative assets, free of conflicts of interest and hidden agendas.

We work in property, private equity, professional sports and passion investments.

In Private Equity we work to build a position as a natural outgrowth of FundBox’s real estate private equity practice, highly focused on secondaries. In professional sports, we work to take advantage of the ban of third-party ownership of footballers in Europe to introduce innovative investment structures, In passion investments our goal is to offer small-scale, accessible investments vehicles in contemporary art, classic cars and wine.
