Be Lions
David Bellelis established Be Lions in 2016 following roles at Edmond de Rothschild and Credit Agricole Suisse. The firm began when Bellelis and associates managed their own capital and later extended services to other families on wealth, fiscal, and patrimonial matters. Be Lions deploys across commodities, direct co-investments and SPVs, and private credit. It maintains a European geographic focus. The approach stems from Bellelis's commodity financing work in West Africa and Avi Toledano's relationship management experience at J. Safra Sarasin and HSBC Private Bank. No named portfolio holdings or co-investors appear in public materials. The firm lists no additional offices and reports no team size. No dated operational events from the last 24 months are recorded in available sources.
