ABOUT US

BRAVESTANDARD is an independent, high-end, top tier global investment firm founded in 2006. It is an intelligence-driven asset manager for institutions, accredited individuals and advisors determined to provide outstanding long-term investment performance by offering a tailored suite of investment solutions and strategies that span different asset classes across public and private markets. BRAVESTANDARD is licensed and regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

BRAVESTANDARD aims to use active strategies across discretionary, systematic and specialist investment solutions. As our company evolves, we strive to develop new investment products with global appeal and attractive returns to access new clients and to adapt to our existing clients’ changing needs. By focusing on the optimal balance of risk and reward, a differentiated premium client experience and a global network of opportunities, we seek to ensure that the success of our firm begins with the success of our clients.

OUR HISTORY

BRAVESTANDARD was founded in 2006 as Stamford Management Pte Ltd to operate as a multi-family office focusing on opportunistic investment strategies and wealth management offerings for multiple families and ultra-high net worth individuals. The firm’s first product was Iridium Alpha Fund, an alpha-driven equity long-short fund focusing on the resources and commodities sector. Since inception, the firm’s mission has remained constant: to generate superior returns to its investors by allocating capital across a diverse set of investment strategies whilst maintaining a commitment to manage risks and preserve capital. In 2018, Stamford Management Pte Ltd was rebranded as Bravestandard Pte Ltd (“BRAVESTANDARD”) after being successfully acquired by its United Kingdom-based shareholders.

OUR INVESTMENT APPROACH
PROPRIETARY PARTNERSHIPS

Our investment approach draws on utilizing proprietary partnerships, intellectual capital and leading technology with an absolute focus on risk management to express directional and relative views on investments with optimal risk/reward characteristics. Our investment approach is driven by our belief that investment activities are best conducted in collaboration rather than in isolation. We engage proprietary internal and external partners to work together to share and debate investment and trade ideas, identify and address risks, build investment tools and products, and explore new opportunities. We seek to employ a combination of quantitative and qualitative tools to uncover and unlock proprietary sources of return across global public and private markets.

PROPRIETARY INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL

We dedicate a significant share of our time to discretionary investment activities based on rigorous analysis and identification of potentially profitable global opportunities by our experienced professionals and external advisors. This approach relies primarily on selectively tailoring, aggregating and harnessing a wide network of proprietary intellectual capital to discover, capture, and unlock pricing inefficiencies across a broad array of asset classes spanning public and private markets. Our discretionary investment activities benefit from a highly disciplined process-driven investment approach that aims to isolate exclusive global opportunities while maintaining a low correlation to the broader markets. This approach allows us to optimally deploy the deep domain expertise of our investment team.

PROPRIETARY LEADING TECHNOLOGY

We believe in amplifying talented minds in finance with leading-edge technology and predictive analytics to identify and test new investment ideas and opportunities. We understand that a strong culture of rigorous fundamental analysis and scientific research, supported by a robust technology infrastructure, is the bedrock of a successful quantitative investment process. We demand that our traders identify statistically significant market inefficiencies through hypothesis formulation, testing, and validation based on practical knowledge of markets and advanced computational methods. We aim to bring together the art of investing with the science of finance to deliver superior investment returns to our capital partners.

PROPRIETARY RISK MANAGEMENT MODELS

We believe a vital difference between firms that succeed over the long run and those that do not is the approach towards risk management. The most important belief in our investment approach is that risk and portfolio management are not separated, that all portfolio managers must be risk managers. Risk management is a core facet of our investment process. We encourage usage of proprietary risk models, which consider both quantitative and qualitative factors, to identify investment opportunities and manage key risks across our portfolios. We manage the allocation of capital by first viewing any opportunity through the exacting prism of risk.
