Acting independently.
Ensuring stability.
7orca was founded in 2017 by seven experienced specialists with over a decade of shared expertise in currency strategies and FX overlay concepts for institutional investors.
The name “7orca” refers to the seven founders and encapsulates the firm’s strategic focus: overlay, risk, currency and alpha.
As an independent asset manager, 7orca pursues a clear institutional focus – the development of systematic and sustainable strategies for managing currency risks and integrating quantitative risk premia. The objective is to promote stability in internationally diversified portfolios and to make global investment strategies reliably accessible.
Our currency management solutions give investors the freedom
to focus fully on their core business areas and their objectives.
Understanding institutional objectives.
Implementing strategies with precision.
7orca develops specialised solutions for the sophisticated investment objectives of institutional investors, with a clear focus on currency strategies. The strategies take into account the requirements of broadly diversified portfolios and are consistently aligned with defined mandate objectives. Implementation is cost-efficient, supported by documented decision-making processes and clearly assigned responsibilities.
Transparency forms the consistent framework – from the mandate setup through to rule-based, quantitatively founded decision-making and tailored reporting. Processes are executed with discipline and verified through external audits (ISAE 3402 Type II). The process chain includes exposure analysis, implementation strategy, execution, and the reporting of individually defined data.
7orca acts exclusively in the interests of its institutional clients. Drawing on our expertise in currency strategies – in particular FX Overlay – we ensure disciplined mandate management. This enables investors to achieve accurate hedging within internationally diversified portfolios, ensuring the feasibility of global investment strategies, the stability of institutional income streams, and the continuous enhancement of reporting quality.

Preserving independence.
Sharing responsibility.
7orca is an independent asset manager with a clear and transparent ownership structure.
The company is predominantly owned by its employees, who hold their shares either directly or through private investment vehicles.
A shareholding of 15.26 per cent is held via a separate privately held investment company.
There are no institutional or corporate shareholders.
This ownership structure strengthens entrepreneurial independence and ensures a consistent alignment with the interests of institutional investors. It reflects 7orca’s commitment to closely linking responsibility and value creation.
Transparent analysis.
Tailored execution
Internationally diversified portfolios are inherently exposed to currency risks. Effective management of these risks is essential for stability and performance, and provides the foundation for consistently realising global investment strategies.
7orca addresses this with a clear specialisation in currency strategies and a structured approach to managing institutional mandates – transparent, collaborative, and efficient.
