Delphin Investments

What Delphin Investments does

Delphin Investments (DI) is a privately-held, New York-based investment solutions and financial technology firm founded in December 2008 by Guy-Max Delphin. The firm operates a multi-strategy asset management business built around a proprietary technology platform called MyCIOWorkbench, which delivers portfolio construction, risk management, reporting, and scenario-analysis tools to asset owners, advisors, and investment professionals. Public-market strategies include DI Global Tactical Asset Allocation (DIGTAA, across 27 asset classes), DI U.S. Small-Cap (DISC, 80-90 stocks via three quantitative models), and the DI Pan-Caribbean Regional Index (DIPCRI, ~150 companies); the firm also offers Outsourced CIO services (asset allocation studies, manager due diligence, pension liability-driven analysis) and, since November 2023, the CapEqui private markets database covering SMEs across 46 countries in the Caribbean Basin and Central America.

The firm targets four primary customer segments — family offices, institutions, investment consultants, and wealth managers — and reaches them through direct enterprise sales supported by a curated set of strategic partnerships (JAVLIN Invest for mobile distribution, The Cayemitte Group for MWBE capital access, World Council of Credit Unions for credit-union development finance, and Embrace Partners for insurance underwriting). Revenue is generated through a mix of subscription/recurring asset management fees, professional services fees for OCIO/advisory engagements, and subscription fees for the CapEqui platform; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm is founder-controlled, runs with 1-10 employees, claims a global footprint (excluding China), and maintains an office at 57 West 57th Street, Manhattan.
