 About Multi-Act

Multi-Act was founded in 1997 by two Wharton graduates, with an aim to develop unbiased and independent Equity Research with a clear emphasis on quality, and margin of safety for their own investments. After successfully managing proprietary investments for 12 years, a select few families approached Multi-Act to manage funds for them. Consequently, in 2009 Multi-Act ventured to provide equity advisory services to other investors. Even today, well over 50% of the assets under advice and management belong to Multi-Act’s shareholders. In addition, Multi-Act also offers a range of Global Investment and Private Equity solutions through partner companies, Multi-Act EquiGlobe and Multi-Act Private Equity Investment Trust respectively. 

Multi-Act has now evolved to deliver unbiased, bespoke Research and Investment to owners of multi-generational wealth, business families, hedge funds, investment managers, and wealth managers around the globe.
