At a Glance

Greater Innovation

Crescendo Group has a tradition of innovating rather than accepting the status quo. At some times, this has translated in positioning our portfolio differently than the broad market, at others it has meant developing entirely new investment mandates in order to access remote opportunities that others simply miss.

Broader Opportunity Set

While cash, equities and bonds are integral elements of a portfolio, there is much more to the story. We provide counsel and access to a broad range of alternative strategies and private capital investments in order to build a portfolio that can enhance risk-adjusted return over a market cycle.

Agility

It is our nature to be innovative and we have sufficient scale to hire and develop world-class talent. Our greatest quality, however, is the ability to be agile in a changing world where size is not enough and speed is essential.

Deep In-House Competence

We have invested in hiring and developing the internal depth of expertise necessary to identify the right opportunities and to implement them safely. With these in-house resources we are better able to leverage our select network of family offices, high net worth individuals, asset allocators and consultants, mainly on the buy side.

In more than 15 years Crescendo has grown from its Geneva roots to become a sought-after investor with a reach into all global markets through our affiliates and our external partnerships.


We have a stable and motivated staff of dedicated professionals with deep experience in private banking and both public and private market investments.

Our clients and our investment partners appreciate us for our rigor, our willingness to act when required and our enduring loyalty.

And finally we sprinkle some salt into the soup: real money! All these games can be played for real money bets. Thus, you can also collect real profits and sweeten the evening not only with entertainment but a financial candy. Thats not enough. Almost every new casinos that established in 2020 presents its players with all sorts of promotions and bonus programs. You get bonuses for deposits or even for successful registration. If you are a regular player, you get discounts and free spins and the like. Even cash and cash prizes are regularly raffled on individual platforms. So there are plenty of ways to win.
