Independent Wealth Management · Geneva · Since 2002

Conservative with risk.
Aggressive in spirit.

Independence

RAM Capital is an independent, FINMA-authorised wealth management firm, based in Geneva since 2002.

2002
2002Founded in Geneva

Established by Mete Sarper. Our principles have not changed since.

IndependentNo parent company

No bank or group behind us, and no products we are obliged to sell.

We manage portfolios ourselves and select products from across the market.

FINMASwiss supervision

Authorised by FINMA as a portfolio manager and supervised by SO-FIT.

About us

Independent and family-owned.

Our independence is at the core of our approach. Unlike traditional banking models, we are not tied to proprietary products, internal sales targets or the investment universe of a single institution. This gives us the freedom to select investment solutions from across the market and construct portfolios entirely around our clients’ objectives, risk profile and long-term interests.

RAM Capital is also distinguished by its family ownership and governance. Founded and led by Mete Sarper, the firm is built around a long-term vision of continuity, responsibility and personal commitment. With the next generation actively involved in the management and development of the firm, RAM Capital combines decades of experience with a clear perspective on the future.

Portfolios are managed in-house, allowing for greater flexibility, responsiveness and consistency in investment decisions. Our clients benefit from direct access to the people responsible for managing their wealth, clear accountability and a highly personalised service.

At RAM Capital, independence means freedom of choice, family ownership means continuity, and both serve one purpose: keeping our clients’ interests at the centre of every decision.

Our philosophy
“It is part of our culture to take nothing for granted. We are demons for due diligence and we invest in nothing that we cannot explain fully and transparently. In that sense we are conservative, even though we are aggressive in spirit.”
Mete SarperFounder & Partner, RAM Capital SA

To us, the most important factor in portfolio management is understanding and managing the risk. In our quest for performance, we always bear in mind that bull markets do not last forever. What counts is what you do when they stop.

Our values

Values that have proved their worth.

Accountability

Whatever the markets do, we take responsibility for our decisions and explain them to you.

Open architecture

We are free to use any product or work with any partner that adds value to your portfolio.

Objectivity

We have no obligation to sell any bank products. Our advice is shaped by your interests only.

Integrity

We are transparent in how we work, and strictly discreet in everything that concerns you.

Discipline

We invest only in what we can explain fully, and we build portfolios to hold through every market cycle.
