Our Legacy
IDS Capital: Your Partner for Multi-Asset Investing
IDS Capital was the investment arm of a single family office rooted in the chemical and biopharmaceutical sectors. Our approach spans both fundamental and quantitative strategies, as we collaborate with seasoned specialists worldwide across all asset classes and also advise on direct investments. Our primary objective is to achieve attractive returns while prudently managing investment risk. We participate in both liquid markets and private investments.
Additionally, we aspire to establish a network of family offices:
- Facilitating syndicated access to investment opportunities across diverse fields;
- Sharing intelligence on specific themes.
Our investments originate from rigorous research, networking, and strategic structuring. We invite co-investors to join us in select opportunities.
Founded in 2004 in Geneva, Switzerland, IDS Capital operated primarily from London, with a branch in Geneva. Our London-based parent company, IDS Capital (UK) Ltd, had been operational since August 2013.
Throughout our history, we’ve advised and invested in over 500 hedge funds, private equity, and venture capital funds across various sectors and regions. We’ve also structured specialized access vehicles for diverse investment strategies across multiple jurisdictions and forms.
As part of our toolbox, IDS Capital also runs a managed future program.
NONE OF IDS CAPITAL UK LTD ENTITIES ARE AFFILIATED OR DEALING IN ANY WAY WITH COMPANIES USING THE SAME NAME ACROSS THE WORLD AND ESPESCIALLY IN ASIA. IDS CAPITAL UK LTD IS FULLY OWNED BY ITS MANAGEMENT AND DIRECTORS.
