Independent by design, fiduciary by duty
An advisory practice built around a simple principle: the client’s interests come first.
One interest represented
Velocity is not affiliated with any bank, product issuer or distributor. We do not receive retrocessions, and we are free to recommend whatever best serves the client.
We regard ourselves as fiduciaries. That means acting with care, loyalty and transparency, disclosing any potential conflict, and putting the client’s objectives ahead of our own.
Boutique Approach. Institutional Thinking.
Independence & Client-Centric Relationships
An investment philosophy focused on independent research, objective analysis and alignment with client interests, delivered through a boutique advisory experience built on transparency, long-term relationships and an understanding of the complex needs of sophisticated investors.
Investment Expertise
More than two decades of investment leadership experience across international private banks, brokerage firms and family offices.
Sophisticated Strategies
Expertise spanning global multi-asset investments, alternative strategies, structured solutions, market-neutral arbitrage and portfolio risk management.
Research & Innovation
A commitment to analytical rigour, quantitative insights and innovative investment solutions that extend beyond conventional portfolio management.
Risk Discipline
A structured approach to investment selection, portfolio construction, execution and ongoing risk assessment.
Profit Sharing
- Profit sharing. Our remuneration is linked to the results we help achieve, rather than to transactions or products placed.
- Alignment with clients. In profits we share; in losses we stand by you.
- The client’s side. We act as a client-side adviser, working alongside private banks and custodians on the client’s behalf.
- Discretion. Client relationships, holdings and affairs are treated with complete confidentiality.
A considered network
We work with a small group of established partners chosen for their standing and integrity.
Private banks & custodians
All client assets remain in the client’s own accounts with their chosen bank or custodian. Velocity does not take custody of, or discretion over, client assets.
Legal & fiduciary advisers
Specialists in estate planning, trusts and structuring.
Tax advisers
Cross-border tax guidance coordinated with the portfolio.
Fund administrators
Independent administration and reporting for advised vehicles.
