Built on Conviction. Sustained by Trust.
Era Finances Group was founded in 2009 with a single conviction: that disciplined, independent capital management would always outperform the consensus.
Seventeen Years of Independent Thinking.
Era Finances Group was established in London in 2009, in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. Our founders — veterans of leading investment banks and sovereign wealth funds — believed the industry had lost its way. They set out to build something different: a firm where investment decisions were made on conviction, not committee.
Over seventeen years, we have grown from a single-strategy hedge fund to a multi-disciplinary private capital group managing over $4.2 billion across hedge funds, private investment, trading, and family office mandates. We have never taken outside capital. We have never compromised our independence.
Today, Era Finances Group operates from six offices across London, Geneva, Dubai, Singapore, New York, and Hong Kong. Our client base spans sovereign wealth funds, endowments, family offices, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals across 28 markets. The founding conviction remains unchanged.
The Principles That Guide Every Decision.
Independence
We answer to our clients and our own standards — never to outside shareholders, index benchmarks, or consensus opinion.
Discretion
Client confidentiality is absolute. We do not discuss mandates, holdings, or relationships. Ever.
Conviction
We make concentrated, high-conviction decisions. We do not diversify for the sake of appearances.
Continuity
We build for decades. Our investment structures, client relationships, and team are designed to endure.
The Team Behind the Mandate.
