ASSET MANAGEMENT

Aethel focuses on understanding how the world works.  We harness the deepest understanding of the global economy and financial markets to achieve portfolios that exhibit excellence, resilience and value.  Aethel can tailor investment strategies to suit bespoke goals and risk tolerances and deploys three main investment styles:


Illiquid strategies:  focusing on off-market transactions, where proprietary deal sourcing capabilities give an edge over other funds and Aethel can invest in assets at a significant discount to intrinsic value;

 

Liquid strategies:  deploying best-in-class research and trading strategies to achieve superior risk adjusted returns, while maintaining a flexible liquidity profile; and

 

Private Equity:  funds dedicated to the opportunistic acquisition of assets.

TECHNOLOGY

We understand that innovation is one of the biggest factors influencing economic growth.  Those who advance open new opportunities, build strengths and develop resilience.  Those who fall behind struggle to catch up. 

 

Technology is a vital tool for Aethel.  We have been exploring the application of distributed ledger technology and artificial intelligence since 2014.  Digitalisation and automation are important elements of our internal processes and of the solutions we build for clients.

 

Aethel advises sovereign and private clients on the digitalisation of their systems and on the application of blockchain, artificial intelligence and other technologies.  Our managers and researchers collaborate to bring  practical results to clients, yielding clear cause-and-effect in the complex and dynamic technology landscape.

ADVISORY

Aethel’s work with corporate and institutional clients is tailored to the needs of its clients’ complex businesses, capital structures and strategies, covering areas such as:

Capital raising:  including structuring and introduction of suitable financial partners;

Sovereign advice:  relating to institutional maturation, covering matters ranging from strategic transition to planning and building first-tier management information systems;

Mergers, acquisitions and dispositions advice:  both in the conventional sense and in the context of higher pressure situations leading to an expedited or otherwise “off-market” transaction; and

Restructurings:  including matters such as management and capital restructuring, asset disposition planning and execution and arrangement of financing.
