Novum Capital Partners
Novum Capital Partners was established in 2018 by Gabriele Gallotti, a former J.P. Morgan managing director. Vittorio Treichler and other partners joined from BSI and UBS. The firm serves European and international families through regulated advisory mandates. The firm allocates across private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, private credit, real estate and collectibles. It executes direct co-investments, SPVs and fund-of-funds commitments. Confirmed positions include exposure to Knaus Tabbert through equity partners Klaas Meertens and Julien Etaix. Geographic reach covers Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. Assets under management stand at 7500 million USD. The team includes twelve named professionals across investment, relationship and operations roles. Additional vehicles cover yacht consultancy, art and jet financing, and mixed-use real estate club deals in Europe. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Novum maintains a hybrid structure that combines multi-family office mandates with dedicated investment vehicles. Partners hold board seats at portfolio companies such as Knaus Tabbert while the firm itself remains regulated by FINMA and monitored by OSIF. This setup separates client reporting from proprietary co-investment activity.
