Galena Asset Management was set up in 2003 to offer investment opportunities through an array of specialised absolute return commodity funds.
Investing in commodities
Galena’s asset management teams are based in London, Singapore and Geneva. They operate wholly independently of Trafigura, but benefit from the Group’s insights into global supply and demand.
Access, independence, expertise
Galena’s funds focus on liquid commodity markets. They do not trade physical commodities but access opportunities through derivatives and equities. The company operates a one-way Chinese wall between its operations and those of its parent. It shares no investment information and retains absolute client confidentiality.
Galena’s consolidated supervisor is the UK’s Financial Services Authority, but it complies with regulations across multiple jurisdictional boundaries.
Galena’s funds attract high-profile investment institutions. It also serves family offices, pension funds, endowment funds and insurance companies as well as sovereign wealth funds.
This combination of privileged access, independence and investment expertise has helped Galena deliver consistently above-average returns.
