About Us

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 purpose of delivering excellence in investment management.

In 2014, we further strengthened our capacity by taking on board the team of Gateway Capital Group, a specialist asset management firm focused on commodity related investments. In 2018, a change in leadership took place in the course of a management buyout transaction involving senior management and new partners.
