Since 2005 – 20 Years of Excellence
QCAM Currency Asset Management AG celebrated its 20-Year Anniversary on April 18, 2025 – a major milestone in the history of a company that has built a reputation over two decades of expertise, integrity and innovation in Institutional Currency and Asset Management.
Founded on April 18, 2005 in Freienbach, the company was renamed from Quaesta Capital AG to QCAM Currency Asset Management AG in 2016. The “Q” was kept to reflect the continuity of the company’s values and identity. In 2017, the company’s headquarter was moved from Freienbach to Guthirtstrasse 4 in a central location in the city of Zug.
Looking back
Over the past 20 years, QCAM has established itself as a reliable partner for institutional clients in the field of Currency and Asset Management. What started as a bold vision in 2005 has evolved into a regulated, internationally active asset manager with deep specialization and a strong client focus.
Our core values – independence, transparency, and reliability – have guided us from the beginning and remain the foundation of our long-term client relationships.
