It covers buyout through growth stages as well as seed to Series G rounds. Confirmed positions span Energy Transition & Renewables, Healthcare Services and Mobility & Transportation. Geographic reach includes Europe, North America and Asia. The firm also manages mixed-use real estate in Europe, art collections in Liechtenstein and Switzerland, business jets and yachts. No headcount figure is published. The firm belongs to the Association of Independent Asset Managers in Liechtenstein as a founding member and holds membership in the Swiss Association of Wealth Managers. H.I.R.H.
