Zurich-based Da Vinci Invest was founded in April 2004 to manage volatility arbitrage strategies.
Da Vinci's annual returns have only been positive since 2004, including 2008.

The risk is diversified through a multi-manager and multi-asset approach. Our professional risk management checks risk limits prior to trade entry and controls the positions at the manager and fund level on a real-time basis.

The strategy involves trading in only highly liquid exchange-listed products. We use sophisticated options strategies that exploit inefficiencies in securities pricing worldwide, while building a market neutral portfolio that reduces risks through offsetting arbitrage spread positions.

Our strategy exhibits very low correlation to traditional investments. Our Da Vinci Strategie UI Fonds (ISIN DE000A0RE964) is a German BAFIN regulated UCITS-3 fund which offers daily liquidity with Bank of New York as custodian and Universal Investment as administrator.
