“The Calista strategy to support family offices in their endeavour to invest in alternative assets, namely investments in private equity as well as venture capital funds and direct investments into companies hits the nerve of the time. Calista, with its team, is predetermined to be a partner for family offices throughout the value chain to take the right decisions on fund selection and direct investments on a throrough and well thought-through basis. Calista supports family offices with skills needed in the team or provides capacity for the families to implement the given value creation strategy. The non-conflict ethical approach helps to the alignment of interest between Calista and the families”
