About us
A bit about us
The fundamental principles of our general investment philosophy, which are epistemic humility and pragmatism, permeate all of our work. You’ll identify them as the recurring trait, a “leit-motif”, in all of our portfolios. Both principles reflect our conviction that having a responsive awareness of the limits of one’s own knowledge and acting accordingly helps to mitigate the cost of negative outcomes and to adapt to actual circumstances. Such conviction propels us and guides us to achieve our goals responsibly.
Our story
FESC Asset Management is based in Texas, US. It was born as the culminating effort of several years of managing our personal and family portfolios, withstanding a steep learning curve and gathering what we believe is crucial experience and understanding.
Our story is a story of a self-made and determined enterprise, built on the foundation of assembling the very diverse but complementary profiles of the people that constitute our team. For us, the formation and management of an investment adviser is a natural step, an extension of our own personal journey.
Our first contact with the markets came at a very young age through our father. We absorbed from him knowledge on the FX markets and derivatives, but through the years we widened our scope to grasp the diversity of asset classes and their behaviors. That period gave way to the foundational principles of FESC Asset Management, it showed us the relevance of volatility and risk mitigation, the importance of discipline and a rules-based process for decision making. Not without tribulations, we learned the lesson that there is no wealth growth without risk management; both are inseparable.
Since then, we have adapted all these lessons to design and manage our own family portfolios. And we decided to go a step further and share all our hard-earned experience to individuals and institutions interested in investing in a pragmatic and process-based manner.
