The Optima difference.
Optima has been managing hedge fund strategies for more than three decades. We have won numerous awards and earned a reputation as a trusted specialist in hedge fund investing and alternative asset management. In 2019, Optima partnered with FFT Wealth Management, enhancing our capabilities and leadership. Our industry position enables us to attract and retain leading investment talent, establish robust investment processes and partner with highly sought-after hedge fund managers, to deliver quality, investor-led solutions. Our 30-year track record of consistent, risk-adjusted performance, has helped our clients navigate across vastly different market environments.
In February 2021, FWM Holdings, owner of FFT Wealth Management, LGL Partners and Optima Asset Management merged with Stanhope Capital Group creating a combined enterprise that benefits from a presence spanning Europe and the US, advising on over $24bn. FWM Holdings is led by CEO Keith Bloomfield and the combined group is led by Chairman and CEO Daniel Pinto.
