ATF Group
ATF Group was established as the investment vehicle for the Wiget Family in Switzerland. The office manages wealth for additional linked families including branches with roots in France, Scotland and Madagascar. It operates without a disclosed founding year or public leadership roster beyond key principal François Wiget. The firm executes direct private equity, private credit and real estate investments. Confirmed holdings include majority ownership of Aquawell Group AG in Switzerland and minority stakes in visaVento Holding AG and Bogd Bank in Mongolia. Additional positions cover Mercurius Resources Ltd. in the United Kingdom and former ownership of Vision Intelligence in Australia. Geographic reach spans Europe, Asia, the Middle East & Central Asia, Africa and South America. The office avoids hedge fund exposure and favors venture and growth stages through in-house SPVs. Deployment totals $500 million. The Zurich headquarters maintains service relationships with PwC for audit work since 2014 and Pestalozzi Attorneys at Law for legal matters. ATF Group Australia operates as a separate holding entity. François Wiget participates in the Swiss professional network Innovation 2. Säule on pension investment rules. No additional offices or employee count appear in available records. ATF Group differs from typical family offices through its direct-deal program that internalizes sourcing and structuring across private equity, credit and venture. The structure ties investment decisions to the founding Wiget Family while serving linked family branches under a single Zurich entity.
