The Rising STAR Group was founded in 2001 as a specialist in alternative investments for the German-speaking market. We develop investment strategies for wealthy families and institutional investors, which aim to generate positive returns, irrespective of developments on traditional equity and fixed-income securities markets. This is reflected in the name of our company: STAR stands for Strategic Target Absolute Return.

Following the launch of the first independent hedge fund investment on the German capital market, Rising STAR has become one of the leading providers among independent alternative investment specialists with the STAR Private Equity range and investments in the commodities and real estate sectors. As a Swiss public limited company, Rising STAR benefits from having its headquarters near the international financial centre of Zurich. Access to the knowledge of an elite circle of international investment managers enables us to implement our corporate mission statement 'Invest with the best' when carrying out our investment activities. Due to our success to date, the placement volume for Rising STAR investments now amounts to more than USD 1 billion.
