ETRUM® began as an independent private-equity manager and has grown into an investment group with two platforms — institutional funds and operating businesses — organised under one name and one set of principles.
Our story
ETRUM® Funds was established to develop and manage best-of-class private-equity funds delivering stable, meaningful returns to investors and partners. Its founding expertise — international trade finance, cross-border structuring and relationships with sovereign counterparties — shaped an approach that puts protection of capital before everything else.
The work soon took the firm beyond fund management. Financing trade flows led to trading them; trading led to the mines, farms, plants and infrastructure behind them. Today those operating businesses are held in ETRUM® Industries, and the group's network of partners, subsidiaries and affiliates has turned over in excess of US$ 7.5 billion.
The two tracks remain deliberately distinct. ETRUM® Funds answers to its investors under Cayman regulation, independent audit and institutional service providers. ETRUM® Industries answers to the group's own balance sheet. Both apply the same four tenets.

Institutional framework
The group's operations meet the standards of regulatory compliance, fiduciary responsibility and independent oversight expected of institutional-grade capital management.
Global presence
Operational footholds across nine jurisdictions, in proximity to the markets and counterparties the group serves.
Values
Written down so that partners can hold us to them.
We do what we say, document what we do, and decline business that requires otherwise.
We structure for the downside first. Collateral, counterparties and jurisdictions are chosen to protect capital through stress.
We invest alongside management, sovereigns and families for the long term, with aligned interests and our own capital at risk.
Stable, meaningful returns — measured after the return of capital, never before.
Whether you are a sovereign entity, an operating partner or an investor, we would like to hear from you.
