Apricus Finance

Apricus Finance

Apricus Finance was established in 1995 by one Belgian family and one Swiss family. Francois Struye de Swielande serves as CEO and Managing Partner. The firm remains wholly owned by its managers and maintains regulatory oversight in Switzerland. Apricus allocates across public equities, private equity, venture capital, private debt, real estate, commodities including gold, and digital assets. It executes through direct co-investments, SPVs, fund-of-funds commitments, and infrastructure positions. Confirmed focuses include biotech and life sciences via its venture capital sleeve. The firm covers Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East & Central Asia. It targets growth and venture stages. The firm employs named professionals including CIO Alain Pavan and Senior Advisor Youssef Dib, who joined in April 2024. It maintains affiliations with CJC Advisors SA and Sunline Wealth Management Pte Ltd. Apricus supports the Sunline Foundation, where its CEO and CIO hold board and advisory roles. Alain Pavan holds memberships in the Swiss Association of Market Technicians and the Swiss Financial Analysts Association. Apricus maintains a hybrid structure as both multi-family office and regulated asset manager. This setup allows it to serve external entrepreneurial clients alongside its founding families while preserving manager ownership. Board-level ties to UCB S.A. provide additional governance overlap with a listed biopharmaceutical company.
