Capitolis
Capitolis was founded to address inefficiencies in capital markets, specifically around regulatory capital requirements and counterparty risk. The firm's core offering is a technology platform that enables portfolio optimization and a capital marketplace, connecting banks with institutional investors to reduce redundant positions and free up balance sheets. The firm's strategy spans two main lines: Portfolio Optimization, which handles bilateral and multilateral exercises across FX, credit, and rates, and a Capital Marketplace that matches bank-originated assets with institutional capital. Capitolis claims to have worked with some of the world's largest institutions. The optimization solutions address capital requirements under SA-CCR and CEM, as well as GSIB surcharges and margin funding. The firm has offices in global financial hubs: New York, Tel Aviv, and London (per the firm's website, 2025). Capitolis describes its team as offering decades of experience, though specific headcount is not disclosed. The firm's technology is built on proprietary algorithms and was the first provider of SA-CCR optimizations, beginning in 2021. The firm has not disclosed any vehicle structures, philanthropic arms, or operational events from the last 24 months. No recent activity is verifiable from public sources. Capitolis positions itself as a technology partner that embeds analytics into client infrastructure, rather than as a traditional asset manager or family office. This regulatory-technology and marketplace model sets it apart from fund-based competitors. The firm focuses on solving the cost and complexity of holding unoptimized derivative positions, with a mandate to serve both buy-side and sell-side participants.

It offers portfolio optimization to reduce derivative exposures and a capital marketplace to match bank-originated assets with third-party capital. The firm's tools address regulatory capital requirements, margin funding, and GSIB surcharges (per the firm's website, 2025).
Who leads Capitolis?
The firm's leadership team is not publicly named on its website. The firm claims senior management with decades of experience, but no individual principals are disclosed. This lack of named leadership is unusual for a capital markets technology firm.
How does Capitolis generate revenue?
Capitolis likely earns fees from its optimization services and capital marketplace transactions, but the firm does not publicly disclose its revenue model. The website describes solutions and partnership opportunities, but financial details are not provided.
Does Capitolis manage capital on behalf of clients?
Capitolis does not present itself as an asset manager. Its capital marketplace connects banks with institutional investors, but the firm itself does not appear to manage commingled funds or take discretionary control of client assets. The firm's focus is on technology and facilitation.
What types of institutions work with Capitolis?
The firm's website states that some of the world's largest financial institutions use its solutions. This likely includes global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) and major institutional investors seeking balance-sheet optimization and capital relief.
Where is Capitolis regulated?
Capitolis does not disclose its regulatory status on its website. Given its technology-focused and marketplace model, it may operate without direct financial services regulation, but this is speculative. The firm solicits business in the US, UK, and Israel.
Is Capitolis related to any single family office or specific capital source?
Capitolis does not disclose any affiliation with a specific family office or proprietary capital. The firm's website positions it as an independent technology provider, not an investment vehicle. No ownership or wealth-origin information is available.
