Quantica Capital

What Quantica Capital does

Quantica Capital AG is a Swiss systematic investment manager founded in 2003 by Dr Bruno Gmür in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and operates as an employee-owned firm where management is the sole shareholder. The firm manages approximately USD 1 billion in assets under management as of January 2026 through a lean team of 13 professionals based across offices in Schaffhausen (headquarters) and Zurich, with a global institutional client base spanning North America, Europe and Asia. Quantica is regulated by FINMA as an asset manager of collective investment schemes, registered as a CTA and CPO with the CFTC, and is a member of the NFA, providing the multi-jurisdictional credentials required to serve sophisticated qualified, professional, and institutional clients.

The firm's core product is the Quantica Managed Futures Program (QMF), a systematic trend-following investment program launched in 2005 with a 21+ year track record trading across 100+ highly liquid global futures markets. The technology stack is centered on proprietary quantitative trend-following algorithms with configurable lookback windows and a dynamic, bottom-up risk allocation process that supports gradual daily rebalancing, minimal turnover, and low transaction costs. The product lineup has been progressively expanded to include the Cayman offshore fund (2014), QMF UCITS Fund (2015), QMF Focus UCITS Fund (2018), QMF Gold Denominated Share Class (2020), Quantica Managed Crypto Program (2022), and the Quantica Enhanced Equities (QEE) Program launched in 2025.

Quantica generates revenue through management fees on assets under management across multiple institutional distribution channels: commingled funds (Cayman and UCITS), separately managed accounts with customizable terms, and third-party platforms such as Deutsche Bank's dbSelect and ALMA Capital. The firm's go-to-market relies on direct relationship management with sophisticated institutional clients, thought leadership through quarterly research publications and contributions to industry journals, and participation in institutional allocator forums including Morgan Stanley's Virtual UCITS Hedge Fund Forum and Global Hedge Fund Forum. Target segments are pension funds, endowments, family offices, and hedge fund allocators seeking uncorrelated absolute returns, portfolio diversification away from conventional 60/40 allocations, and downside protection during equity market stress.
