Frequently asked questions
What is the origin of the Colussi family wealth?
The family's wealth was generated through Alberto Colussi's involvement with AGB Nielsen Media Research, which became one of the world's leading television-audience measurement firms. The monetization of these legacy media positions provided the initial capital base for Brahma AG and subsequent entrepreneurial ventures.
How is Brahma AG connected to CERN?
Brahma AG, through Alberto and Niccolo Colussi, incubated ADAM S.A., a company spun out of CERN that focuses on next-generation linear accelerators for proton therapy cancer treatment. This represents a direct technology-transfer relationship with CERN's research infrastructure and clinical collaborators.
How does Brahma AG approach real estate investing?
The family office holds direct positions in Indian residential and commercial real estate, specifically branded projects in Gurgaon, Haryana, and a DLF residential portfolio in Panchkula. These are proprietary, unlevered long-term holdings rather than fund-limited partnership stakes.
Who manages the day-to-day investments?
Alberto Colussi, as Chairman and President, oversees investment strategy directly. His children, Niccolo and Giulia Colussi, sit on the board, giving the firm a multi-generational governance model where senior leadership and family oversight are contiguous rather than separated by an external investment committee.
Is Brahma AG a single-family office or a multi-family platform?
Brahma AG is a single-family office serving the Colussi family exclusively. The entity does not offer third-party wealth management or accept outside capital, maintaining its structure as a proprietary allocator.
