• Value freedom, discretion and strategic independence.
• Invest based on conviction, analysis and the long term — not on headlines or fads.
Many do not even use social media.
But they are behind private funds, decisive startups, offshore structures, global REITs, strong currencies and alternative assets that most do not even understand.
