In volatile markets, asset managers can only enjoy sound, sustained growth by building on the two cornerstones of risk management and transparent corporate governance.

 

At Estlander & Partners, risk assessment and disciplined risk management are integral to our development. A rigorous approach to risk not only optimizes all positions for the best possible outcome, but effectively manages the downside of the investment potential. A process-driven approach ensures that investors are comfortable with their decisions and that they are in good hands at Estlander & Partners.

We only deal in the most liquid exchange-traded instruments and in major exchange rates. Our funds are segregated and we choose our partners carefully from reliable institutions. Cash is managed efficiently and safely and our clients enjoy monthly liquidity. The quantitative models making investment decisions hold positions over a wide variety of time frames. Data for updating portfolio positions originates from cross-checked price vendors.
