WHO WE ARE
Simplify Partners is an independent, Luxembourg-domiciled investment firm founded in 2008.
We operate as a boutique by conviction, not by circumstance. Every strategy is implemented harmoniously thanks to an overlay of advanced risk management and allocation models backed by academic research. Every client has direct access to the people making the decisions.
The portfolio is built across multiple asset classes using liquid instruments only. Positions are sized and managed with a consistent focus on protecting capital first and growing it second. We increase risk exposure only when conditions genuinely warrant it.
The firm was founded by Federico Polese, who brings over 30 years of experience across macro analysis, asset allocation, and quantitative research. His background spans direct portfolio management through several major market dislocations, from the 2008 financial crisis through the pandemic shock and the structural shifts that followed.
The investment process reflects that experience: structured, transparent, and designed to hold up when conditions deteriorate.
Our research capabilities are supported by an independent advisory relationship that continuously sources, tests, and refines the analytical models underpinning our strategies. This ensures the process evolves with rigour, grounded in academic research and validated against real market behaviour.
