What AtonRa Partners does

AtonRâ Partners SA is a Geneva-based, FINMA-regulated asset management company founded in 2004 by Stefano Rodella (CEO & CIO) and Dina Fausto (CFO). The firm transitioned from independent equity research into thematic asset management in 2014 and today operates twelve thematic investment products spanning technology (AI & Robotics, Blockchain & Digital Assets, China Technology, Cybersecurity, Fintech, Stablecoins, Security & Space), healthcare (Biotech 360°, Bionics) and renewable energy (Power Revolution), plus a multi-theme actively managed certificate (The AtonRâ Fund) and a concentrated flagship (CIO's Top Selection).

The firm's edge is built on a science-led investment process: sector analysts hold PhD-level credentials from institutions including EPFL, Cambridge, MIT-iGEM and Université Paris, and the firm combines fundamental research with proprietary classification frameworks and machine-learning-based index replication (notably a 35-stock portfolio tracking 1,083 Chinese technology names). The firm publishes Weekly Barometers® and thematic research as thought-leadership content, and has built supporting software capability in-house (distributed systems, AI/NLP) including an NLP-focused spin-out, Stainly SARL.

Commercially, AtonRa serves institutional clients — explicitly hedge funds, pension funds and professional/qualified investors — via direct relationship-based sales; it does not distribute into the United States. Revenue is generated through recurring management and performance fees on its active strategies; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated bilaterally. Distribution is being expanded internationally (Europe, UK, Middle East), supported by a dedicated consumer-facing fund discovery platform (fundy.fun).
