Background
Alex Andreassen is an Executive Director of Diamond Capital Management (Switzerland) SA and serves as Head of Alternative Research. Diamond Capital’s senior-management page says he has been with the firm since 2007, when he started as a Research Analyst.
Before joining Diamond Capital, Andreassen was a Credit Analyst at Avendis Capital in Geneva. Earlier in his career, he worked for Erste Bank’s New York branch.
Andreassen holds a dual BA in Finance, Risk Management and Insurance from Temple University’s School of Business and Management in the United States. Swiss commercial-register data lists Alex Andreassen among the management and authorized signatories of Diamond Capital Management (Switzerland) SA, whose registered activity is fund management and investment-advisory services for private and institutional investors.
The known email domain, `nutrimenta.ch`, appears consistent with Diamond Capital’s history: Moneyhouse lists prior company names including Nutrimenta Finance & Investments Ltd and Nutrimenta & Investments Ltd, while Diamond Capital’s LinkedIn page says Diamond Capital Management (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. was formerly Nutrimenta (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Diamond Capital’s stated philosophy emphasizes conservative portfolio construction, downside protection, and long-term wealth preservation rather than early-stage venture risk-taking.
- The firm says: “We view our investors as partners” and that it invests alongside clients in every product it offers.
- Diamond Capital says it collaborates with outside managers and investment professionals after internal due diligence, including real-estate loan managers in New York and U.K. real-estate-backed bridge-loan managers.
- The firm explicitly states: “We seed high conviction ideas and stay invested alongside our clients.” This appears to refer to seeding investment strategies/products, not necessarily startup seed rounds.
- Public fund listings on Diamond Capital’s site include fixed income, alternative investments, and real estate debt strategies, including Arava Fund, Appletree Subordinated Debt Fund, Tower Investment Grade Bond Fund, Tower Global High Yield Bond Fund, Diamond Neutral Fund, Banyan Asia Fund, Red Oak Investment Fund, and White Oak II Fund.
- I found no public primary-source evidence verifying the stub claim that Andreassen personally invests as an angel investor at seed stage, nor any verified personal check-size range.
Notable Investments
- No publicly verifiable personal angel/startup portfolio companies were found in the sources reviewed.
- Red Oak Investment Fund - Diamond Capital real-estate-debt strategy; a Diamond Capital LinkedIn post shared by Alexandra Ammann says the firm has financed real-estate projects for 15 years and has underwritten over half a billion dollars of loans, partnering with RAS Capital for Red Oak since 2018.
- White Oak II Fund - Diamond Capital real-estate-debt fund listed on the firm’s funds page.
