Derived from Zen tradition, the Zen Circle is also known as Ensō, the Circle of Enlightenment, and the Infinity Circle. The Zen Circle is often drawn with a fluid elegance, inspiring a sense of peace and wholeness. The circle may be open or closed. In the former case, the circle is incomplete, allowing for movement and development as well as the perfection of all things.
Though circles are simple shapes, the Zen Circle conveys some of life's more evasive concepts: enlightenment, emptiness, and the beauty of imperfection. Part of the symbol’s appeal lies in its creation: the Zen Circle is executed in a single, effortless brushstroke, often in a moment when the mind is totally free from inhibition. In this way, it represents one of Zen’s most powerful lessons: don’t try so hard, just be.
The Zen circle is traditionally painted in black, which in the Japanese language is translated Kuro, from here comes the first part of our company name: "Kuros". Once enstablished this first pillar, it was important to communicate our sense of unity within the firm and with our clients, we thought that the word "Associates" would have been the most suitable candidate. Therefrom we became Kuros Associates.
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us.
Our Company - Kuros Associates is an FCA regulated firm founded in 2017 with a precise goal to improve the inefficiencies and faults of the financial and asset management industry at large. To do this, we incorporated our business as an open platform where innovative and carefully selected investment opportunities can reach institutional and professional investors. Our aim is to solve the main issues tied to dealing with old fashioned big banks and asset management firms.
Our Team - We call ourselves Associates to hint how strong and devoted to our clients our partnership is and to show our belief that the only real bosses we have are our clients. Kuros Associates harbours the talent of highly skilled people, all characterised by multidimensional backgrounds developed inside and outside the financial industry.
Our Platform - Our investor's network is comprised by institutional and professional allocators geographically disposed on a global scale and with an emphasis on Single and Multi-Family Offices. On the other side of the spectrum, our network of fund managers and private companies welcomes only the best and brightest, for our long term survivorship is firmly entwined with the performance of the investment ideas that we sponsor.
Capital placement and financing (Institutional Clients) - Kuros Associates is a fee-based capital introduction and asset management advisory firm. We specialise in providing capital to fund managers, as well as to private companies, and in delivering top-quality investment ideas to capital allocators. Independency and allignment of interests ar the two keys to our success. Therefore, we firmly avoid undisclosed cross-selling practices, as we are directly compensated only by managers or investors. Our ultimate goal is to improve the capital flow efficiency within the financial industry, whilst promoting the alignment between investors and their investment managers.
Asset Management (Institutional Clients) - Our expertise encompasses areas such as fund and company structuring, capital placement, project management and investments analysis. Our cross-asset and cross-capability approach makes us the perfect one-stop-show for independant funds and companies willing to grow their businesses. We believe that to ensure highest chances of success we must constantly keep an open dialogue with our investors and managers, while we independently execute in-depth research and due diligence to select best-in-breed achross sectors and countries.
Investment Advisory (Private Clients) - At Kuros Associates we tailor all our activities on the needs of our clients. Accordingly, we designed a perfect program for professional and qualified investors to create an investment and wealth management programme suited to their persona, psycology and lives styles. Additionally, we have devised four propretary due dilligence pillars (Structural, Operational, Human and Financial) which help us to deliver the highest quality solutions to our clients. At the base of this complex process, there is however one simple that we ask to ourselves, and that is: given at least a medium-term horizon, would we invest our own money into this opportunity in the first place? And if the answer is a firm YES, we then move on advise our clients.
To change the status-quo - Today big banks and fund houses rule the asset and wealth management industries. They provide standardised investment solutions without caring to truly understand the different needs of their final investors. We want to change this! Our purpose is to improve the customer experience of capital allocators by scouting talented managers that are deeply driven to excellence in what they do.
To think different - We saw the flaws and imperfections of the big corporations and big banks from the inside and we decided to find a solution, a more human approach. Our goal is to improve the capital allocation dynamics of the Investment Management industry through its unique networks of capital managers and investors. Ultimately providing a platform where talented fund managers and idea-starving investors may meet in the highest possible alignment of interest.
To stay independent - We firmly believe that value hides into the niche and nibbles, for overtime smaller independents will be superior investment solutions than their outsized sector incumbents. It is on the back of this conviction that we went on a mission to promote these independents to asset allocators, with Kuros Associates always being a trusted and proactive point of contact between the two.
