Management
The Company and its founder and investment advisor Marc Siebel bring more than 20 years of expertise in managing European small caps. A "genuine" track record spanning this period exists. The underlying investment process — combining quantitative metric screening and fundamental securities analysis — has proven itself over this period and continues to be applied unchanged for selecting small caps in the fund.
The investment fund is managed jointly with the custodian bank Kreissparkasse Köln and the man-co Monega. Peacock Capital acts as fund initiator and advisor. Together with Monega's portfolio managers and a long-standing network of equity analysts from various countries, investment ideas are generated and implemented in the fund. The custodian bank and man-co also handle trading, risk management, and reporting.
