Octavian was founded in May 2017 by a team of leading Swiss equity market experts, with more than 250 years of combined experience. The focus is 'Switzerland-only', making Octavian one of the last stand-alone 'Swiss local-brokers'. The culture is built around stock-picking, where the team has a long track-record of outperformance and market-impact. We believe this is driven not only by rigorous bottom-up research but also from experience and a long established local-network of: data-points, shareholders, decision makers and corporate management. Client-access to our network is made available not only through research but also roadshows, reverse-roadshows and seminars - examples include the annual 'Octavian Seminar' - where investors get to meet with over 50 CEOs and CFOs from some of Switzerland's leading large and mid cap listed companies. Clients range from qualified private investors to family-offices, hedge-funds and long-onlys.
