| | | 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. |
