QUAERO Capital and Tiburon Partners merge to create $2.3bn active asset manager

Tuesday, January 09, 2018
Opalesque Industry Update - QUAERO Capital and London based Asian fund management specialist Tiburon Partners today announce that, subject to FCA and FINMA approval, they will join forces. The tie-up, under the QUAERO Capital brand, will form a single business managing more than $2.3 billion. In line with the shared boutique philosophy the combined business will remain 100% employee owned and continue to focus on highly concentrated, actively managed, value strategies.

QUAERO Capital CEO Jean Keller said, "We are delighted to be joining forces with another excellent value specialist as our skills and expertise are wholly complementary. We are also excited to have a substantial presence in London - one of the key centres for investment talent in the world."

Tiburon Partners' senior partner Rupert Kimber said, "QUAERO Capital's managers think and work like us. They have a similar investment approach based on value orientated, concentrated portfolios. So, naturally, we are keen to partner with a firm which shares our philosophy, and can take our offering more widely around Europe."

Tiburon Partners was established in 2003 as a value manager specialising in Asian and Japanese equities. The firm, which is wholly owned by its senior employees, manages some $900m and is authorised and regulated by the FCA.

QUAERO Capital is a specialist asset manager which brings together independently minded investment managers who use original research to provide highly actively managed strategies for clients in the institutional and wholesale markets. QUAERO was founded in 2005 in Geneva and is 100% employee-owned with its founding partners taking an active role in its investment processes. The firm, which manages some $1.4bn, comprises a team of 53 individuals including 29 experienced investment professionals. QUAERO offers a range of high conviction investment strategies through its Luxembourg, Swiss and French regulated funds.
