What Stoneweg does

Stoneweg is a Geneva-based global alternative investment group founded in 2015 that specializes in real assets, operating 23 offices across 14 European countries, the US, and Singapore, with €11 billion in assets under management and 275+ employees. The firm structures and manages investment products across multiple real estate sub-sectors — logistics (including last-mile via Glovo and AXIS/Pictet platforms), hospitality (Stoneweg Hospitality with Bain Capital Credit JV), residential (Welco Living with BGO, Bext), offices, retail (new pan-European vertical targeting €1bn AUM), and emerging verticals such as data centres (AiOnX platform), sport infrastructure (Stoneweg Infrasports, Gemswell Surf Madrid with Wavegarden technology), and urban logistics. The platform operates through unlisted fund structures (Club Deals, Pooled Funds, Discretionary Mandates, specialized investment companies) and listed vehicles including Stoneweg Europe Stapled Trust (SERT, Singapore Exchange tickers SEB/SET) and Varia US Properties (SIX Swiss Exchange ticker VARN). The firm is part of SWI Group (SWI Capital Holding Ltd), which listed on Euronext Amsterdam in February 2026 under ticker SWICH with approximately €1.62 billion market capitalization.

Revenue is generated through four streams: asset management fees on pooled funds, discretionary mandates, and specialized investment companies; performance fees and carried interest on fund vehicles; real estate development returns from residential, commercial, hospitality, and logistics projects; and direct financing solutions, with €432 million deployed across 74 senior development loans since 2017. Customer segments include institutional investors (pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds — primary segment), family offices and high-net-worth individuals, real estate operators and developers, and logistics operators (tenants including Glovo, Planzer, Combilo). Major institutional capital partners include Icona Capital (40% equity holder since 2022), CBH Bank (16% holder), Bain Capital, BGO, Mutua Madrileña, PenSam, and Pictet Alternative Advisors.

Underlying technology is centered on investment structuring and asset management platforms rather than proprietary software, with a proprietary ESG framework covering 15 material sustainability categories, PRI signatory status, INREV membership, and GRESB assessment scoring (Varia US Properties scored 89 points / 4 stars in GRESB 2025). Distribution occurs through direct institutional sales, listed vehicles on multiple exchanges, and dedicated JV platforms. Recent strategic moves include the SWI Group IPO (February 2026), acquisition of Cromwell Property Group's European platform for €280 million (November 2024, adding €3.9bn AUM), SWI Group acquisitions of Genesis Digital Assets and Polarise in digital infrastructure, and the launch of multiple new funds (Mutuafondo Hospitality €300M, Welco Living €500M JV, AXIS logistics with Pictet). Stoneweg operates within SWI Group alongside Icona Capital, positioning the combined entity as a multi-strategy alternative investment platform with growing exposure to AI infrastructure.
