Overview

Established in 2006 by Philippe Jabre, Jabre Capital Partners is an independent wealth management firm and multi-family office based in Geneva, Switzerland. The firm offers a diverse range of investment management services, counsel, and products to investment funds, investment companies, and high-net-worth individuals. Between 2006 and 2018, Jabre Capital Partners managed various funds across strategies including long convertible, convertible arbitrage, long-short equity, high yield fixed income, and emerging markets, earning numerous industry awards and reaching assets under management exceeding 6 billion USD at their peak. In 2018, the firm returned external capital in its funds as part of a restructuring to refocus on its historical wealth management activities. Since June 2020, Jabre Capital Partners has relaunched its asset management activities, concentrating on its core strategies. The firm is an active member of the Association Suisse des Gérants de Fortune (ASG). Jabre Capital Partners operates through several divisions: Convertible Bonds & Fixed Income, Innovation & Sustainability Equity, Global Opportunities, Private Wealth Management, and Principal Investments. The Convertible Bonds & Fixed Income strategy seeks long-term capital appreciation by providing exposure to global fixed income and equity markets, combining bottom-up security selection with macro asset allocation. The Innovation & Sustainability Equity strategy leverages deep knowledge of the global technology sector to invest in companies demonstrating responsibility from an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) perspective, focusing on technological disruptions that address sustainability issues. The Global Opportunities strategy is open to multiple asset classes, focusing on global developed market equities with a long bias, combining a top-down approach to portfolio construction with fundamental analysis and rigorous investment and risk management processes. The Private Wealth Management division manages private mandates for investors across asset classes, focusing on global equity, fixed income products, and convertible bonds. The Principal Investments division, active since 2015, invests directly in private equity, from seed stage equity valuations to an upper limit of 5 billion USD equity valuations, as well as in global funds, focusing on sectors such as FinTech, Artificial Intelligence & Data Analytics, Health & Wellness, Environment & Sustainability, Blockchain, and E-Sports & Interactive Gaming. Philippe Jabre, the Chief Investment Officer and CEO, began his career in 1983 at BAII Asset Management, developing expertise in equity-linked fixed income products. He became a Managing Director and Head of Portfolio Management in 1986 and transferred to the London-based business of BAII Asset Management. In 1997, Mr. Jabre joined GLG Partners as a Partner, taking over responsibility for asset allocation and the management of global convertible bonds and equity-linked investments. He was a key portfolio manager during his time at GLG Partners, managing over 7 billion USD in assets, including the GLG Market Neutral Fund and various long-only absolute return funds. In 2006, Mr. Jabre founded Jabre Capital Partners in Geneva as a wealth and asset management company, servicing high-net-worth individuals and managing six funds across various equity and fixed income strategies. In 2001, Mr. Jabre founded the Association Philippe Jabre (APJ), a not-for-profit organization that helps underprivileged Lebanese families and young people gain access to education and healthcare.
