i.Staying invested
A fortune halved must double merely to stand still — and somewhere in that valley, patience runs out: a family member insists, an advisor capitulates, the position is sold at the bottom. The Guard exists so the question "should we get out?" loses its urgency. Equity participation stays on; the tail is addressed systematically, in advance.
ii.Quiet compounding
No performance fee, no product treadmill, no story-chasing. One mechanism, applied with discipline, in a daily-liquid Luxembourg UCITS — wealth infrastructure rather than a trade.
iii.The entrepreneurial seat
Entrepreneurial families recognise the moment: a founder-owned quantitative house at the start of its curve. Founding investors join on partner-class terms held for the long term — and get the access that comes with building alongside, not buying from: the founders' table, the research roadmap, first conversations on future strategies.
| Alignment | 100% founder-owned. No external shareholders. |
|---|---|
| Access | Introductions, due diligence and every serious question are handled personally by Dr. Axel Stahmer and Dr. Christoph Wagner. |
| Founding terms | Class P (from EUR 1m, ≤ 0.90% p.a., no entry fee, no performance fee) — early investors are intended to be moved to partner-class terms for the long term. |
| Consolidation | Holdings, transactions and NAV series delivered to your multi-custodian consolidation platform — institutional-grade transparency, by choice rather than obligation. |
| Discretion | Conversations begin quietly. No newsletters, no events circuit — a phone call, a room in Munich or Luxembourg, and the documents that matter. |
Conversations begin quietly, and with the founders.
