About us
We are a team of professionals from various backgrounds focused on alternative investments, sometimes referred to as Europe’s most western fund manager.
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 Property, we base our efforts in FundBox’s market presence and reputation as a long-standing independent fund manager. 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.
