02/Why Chipiron AG

Investment expertise
with a different
perspective.

Our roots are in a family office, where we saw first-hand how challenging it can be to turn a good investment idea into a working product. Over time, Chipiron AG evolved to bring together the expertise, structure and partners needed to make investment ideas a reality.

Today, our core expertise lies in designing and structuring tailor-made investment products. We bring the same independent thinking and expertise to our investment advisory services.

Independent thinking and curiosity have shaped our approach ever since.

03/Our commitments

Six things
we hold
ourselves to.

These aren’t just values on paper. They guide every decision we make and every solution we create.

Bonus-linked pay creates the wrong incentives, so we don’t use it.

03

Yes to donation

A fixed share of the fee we charge goes to charitable projects.

04

No to conflict of interests

We act with transparency and integrity in everything we do.

05

Yes to contained AI

AI supports and sharpens our work. Every decision is made by a person.

06

No to greed

Our salaries are aligned with public-sector pay for comparable roles.

04/Our team

Different
expertise.
One team.

Bringing together different perspectives, united by one mission.
