Numeus

Numeus

Numeus operates as a diversified digital asset investment company, headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, with additional offices in London, New York, and Mauritius. The firm was founded by Nobel Gulati, who serves as CEO, alongside Deepak Gulati as CIO. The wealth origin behind the firm is not publicly disclosed. The firm's strategy centers on three core business lines: institutional asset management, quantitative trading, and market making — all focused on liquid crypto markets. Numeus builds its investment approach around petabytes of data, massively-scalable computing infrastructure, and low-latency execution across major exchanges. The team includes specialists from quantitative finance, high-frequency trading, and blockchain technology. Numeus targets institutional investors seeking regulated, actively managed exposure to digital assets through vehicles such as funds and separate accounts. The firm has not publicly listed specific portfolio companies or investments. Numeus employs a multidisciplinary team of at least 18 professionals, including senior advisors Karsten Schroeder, Mark Baumgartner, and Gideon Berger. The firm operates a subsidiary structure: Forteus, led by President Nicolas Vanhoutteghem, focuses on manager research and portfolio management, while Numeus Labs, led by President Cyrill Trondle, handles innovation. No recent operational events from the last 24 months were found in public sources. A structural differentiator is Numeus's integration of three distinct capabilities — asset management, quant trading, and market making — under one firm, with each business line run by dedicated teams. The separation of Forteus and Numeus Labs suggests a multi-vehicle approach to capturing different parts of the digital asset value chain, though details on governance and succession remain private.
