Vedra Partners

Vedra Partners

Vedra Partners was established in 2015 by Joachim Gottschalk and Max Gottschalk following the sale of their interests in Gottex Fund Management. The firm functions as an independent multi-family office owned by its client families, with management separate from banks or external asset managers. Investment activity spans public equities, private equity, hedge funds, secondaries and real assets. Focus areas include ClimateTech, Energy Transition & Renewables, Digital Health, WaterTech and AgriTech & FoodTech. The firm executes direct co-investments and SPVs alongside early-stage and growth opportunities in Europe, Asia and Oceania. Confirmed relationships include co-founding Ocean 14 Capital with Chris Gorell Barnes and HYCAP with Jo Bamford. Geographic reach covers allocations in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and select Asian and Australian markets. The operating team lists more than a dozen investment professionals with prior roles at Gottex, Lehman Brothers, Citigroup, Fidelity and DUET Asset Management. Additional offices operate in Lausanne through Vedra Wealth Services. The firm is a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment and maintains the Blackswan Foundation and Blue Marine Foundation vehicles. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in public records. Vedra differs from typical multi-family offices through its ownership model, where families hold equity alongside management, and through its emphasis on shared direct deal flow rather than outsourced fund commitments. Regulatory licences in both the United Kingdom and Switzerland further separate its structure from unregulated family offices.
