Pelecanus Investments

Pelecanus Investments

Gaetano Geretto established Pelecanus in 2004, drawing on over 35 years of experience as President and CEO of Revios Reinsurance's North American group and as a senior executive at Canada's financial regulator OSFI. The firm operates as a single-family office with a consulting arm, Pelecanus Strategic Advisory Services Inc., rather than a capital deployment vehicle. Pelecanus focuses on enterprise risk management, regulatory matters, corporate governance, and climate change advisory. Geretto advises organizations in the public and private sectors, with engagements spanning scenario and stress testing frameworks, Own Risk Solvency Assessment processes, and mindful governance principles. Named clients include government agencies and financial institutions, though portfolio holdings are not disclosed. The firm maintains a lean team led by Geretto, with no public information on total professionals or AUM. Pelecanus is active in Canada, the US, and the EU, and Geretto chairs the Climate Change and Sustainability Committee of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries. No recent operational events (last 24 months) are publicly recorded. Pelecanus's structural differentiator is its founder's dual-track career: Geretto held senior roles in both private reinsurance and public financial regulation, giving the firm unusual insight into regulatory frameworks. This hybrid expertise positions Pelecanus as an advisory-centered family office rather than a pure investment entity.
