Meet the Founders
At arvy, we believe that behind every investment strategy, there should be a clear philosophy and a dedicated team. While our app is designed to make investing feel effortless, the foundation it sits on is the result of years of shared experience.
Here is a look at the three people who brought arvy to life: Florian, Patrick, and Thierry.
Experience That Matters
In an industry often driven by hype, our founders prefer to rely on a more traditional Swiss value: expertise. They didn't build arvy to follow a trend, but to solve the complexities they witnessed firsthand during their years in the financial sector. Together, we bring more than 30 years of experience from the Swiss banking and asset management world — expertise that is now the engine behind your portfolio.
Florian: The Strategic Foundation
Florian is the "architect" of our business structure. Having previously built the asset management arm of a multi-family office from the ground up, he possesses a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape and FINMA requirements. This ensures that arvy operates with the lean, compliant, and rock-solid processes you would expect from a premium Swiss financial service.
In addition to his business role Florian is our Macro Specialist. He looks at the "big picture"—global economic shifts, interest rates, and long-term trends—to ensure our strategy is grounded in logic rather than short-term market noise.
Patrick: The Technological Engine
Patrick bridges the gap between complex finance and a seamless user experience. Drawing on his previous experience building a digital exam-prep tool, he serves as the primary architect of the arvy app. He is the reason the interface feels intuitive and stays securely connected to our banking partners, translating sophisticated backend strategies into a simple tool for your pocket.
In addition to his business role Patrick is our European and Swiss Equities Specialist. He keeps a close eye on our home markets, identifying quality opportunities within the European landscape to provide a stable, familiar core to our portfolios.
Thierry: The Investor’s Voice
Thierry ensures that arvy never loses sight of the person behind the portfolio. With extensive experience in market dynamics and client engagement, he is the guardian of our transparency. He works to ensure that our communication is clear and that the app evolves based on the actual needs of our community, keeping the human element at the forefront of our digital world.
In addition to his busienss role Thierry is our US Equity Specialist. He focuses on the world's most dynamic market, seeking out the growth and innovation that US companies bring to a well-diversified global strategy.
Perspective Beyond the Office
The founders share a common belief: the point of investing is to create the freedom to pursue what you love. For Florian, Patrick, and Thierry, that often means stepping away from the screen and into the outdoors.
They are all enthusiasts of the Swiss lifestyle. Whether it’s skiing, hiking, or a game of tennis, they value the clarity that comes from being active. This "mountain-top" perspective—taking a step back to see the bigger picture—is exactly how they approach the markets. They aren't interested in the frantic day-to-day fluctuations; they are focused on the long-term horizon.
A Transparent Approach
The motivation for starting arvy was simple: to create the service they wanted for themselves. They saw that traditional banking was often too opaque and expensive, while many modern apps were too speculative.
Their goal was to find the middle ground—professional-grade asset management delivered through a simple, transparent interface. By removing the layers of jargon and high fees, they’ve made it possible for anyone to invest with the same discipline as a professional.
At the end of the day, Florian, Patrick, and Thierry are investors themselves, building a tool for a community that values quality, precision, and time.
