Trajectoire Capital Group

What Trajectoire Capital Group does

Trajectoire Capital Group SA is a Geneva-based, privately held boutique asset manager founded in 2018 by Arié Assayag. It specializes in volatility trading and absolute-return strategies for institutional investors, including pension funds, endowments, family offices and sovereign wealth funds. The firm's investment philosophy rests on the empirical view that volatility markets remain highly inefficient, allowing it to generate absolute returns with an emphasis on capital preservation and tail-risk protection.

The firm operates a single core product line — volatility trading services — delivered through proprietary quantitative models, algorithmic trading systems, a quantitative strategy simulator and portfolio optimization and hedging software. Technology was built and refined inside prior platforms at Société Générale, Nexar Capital and UBP, and is currently maintained by an in-house quant/IT lead (Vadim Cissa) plus external senior advisers (Pierre Duranceau and Quoc Thai Phan). Portfolio management and business development are run by partners Geoffroy Gridel and Cyril Bériot, respectively, supported by a quantitative futures trader (Norman Sachs) and a Head of Operations (Olivier Caruso).

Trajectoire is compensated through a standard hedge-fund mix of management fees and performance fees, with institutional mandates negotiated directly rather than publicly priced. The firm is privately held, with no disclosed external shareholders, funding rounds or acquisitions; founder Arié Assayag maintains strategic control. Distribution relies on a high-touch, direct institutional sales motion led by the CIO and the Partner-level Head of Business Development, supported by a corporate website, LinkedIn presence and direct investor-relations email channels.
