 OUR VALUES                                                               

Named after the zodiacal sign of its founder, Capricorn embraces its traditional name traits as its values; ambition, pragmatism and discipline.  These values help define a business culture that is unique for us, and we feel that distinguishes Capricorn as a niche investment boutique.  Being able to apply these values in the way we work is essential to our success.

 OUR HISTORY                                                             

As a proprietary trader for Smith Barney in Geneva during 1998, Mikkel Thorup found the backing from two clients to establish Capricorn.  In the same year Capricorn Advisory Management Ltd. was founded with combined assets under management totaling US$ 1.85M.  The Capricorn fxST (Growth) and (Aggressive) programs were traded with an initial amount of US$ 0.35M, and Capricorn Financials program (that is no longer traded) was seeded with US$ 1M.  In addition to the three investment vehicles, a further US$ 0.5M was invested in Capital Guaranteed Products.
