HISTORY
Independent Capital Group AG was established in 2005 by Dr. Mirjam Staub-Bisang, her brother Roman Staub, and Prince Michael of Liechtenstein with the ambition of delivering excellence in investment management.
Over more than 20 years of operation, the firm has developed a broad international network, extensive market know-how, and an established presence in the investment industry.
In 2018, marking a key moment in the company’s history, the original founders secured the firm’s future through a management buyout (MBO). This strategic decision transitioned leadership to the existing management team, ensuring a stable and effective long-term succession and positioning the company for continued growth.
In 2025, Independent Capital Group AG announced a strategic realignment by transferring its commodities-focused asset management business, including its Luxembourg- and Liechtenstein-based funds, to Picard Angst AG. This move allows the firm to streamline operations and concentrate fully on its core mission as a dedicated multi-family office, continuing to deliver personalized wealth management and family office services.
