Centiva Capital Europe's investors include sophisticated institutional allocators who have entrusted us with a meaningful portion of their alternative investment portfolios. The relationships we build are grounded in transparency, consistent communication, and a shared commitment to long-term performance. The following perspectives reflect the experiences of select investors who have partnered with Centiva Capital over multiple years and market cycles.
"We allocated to Centiva Capital as part of our broader alternatives diversification programme and have been consistently impressed by the quality of risk reporting and the depth of engagement from the investor relations team. During the volatility events of recent years, Centiva's portfolio demonstrated the low market correlation that was promised at the outset, which was exactly what we needed from a hedge fund allocation. The multi-strategy structure has performed as advertised, and the team's responsiveness to our queries sets a high benchmark in the industry. We view Centiva as a core, long-term holding in our alternatives book."

"As a European institutional investor, finding a global alternatives manager with genuine local presence and the ability to engage substantively on regulatory and reporting requirements was a priority for us. Centiva Capital Europe met that bar comprehensively, and their operational infrastructure is on par with the largest managers in the space despite the firm being more nimble. The risk-adjusted returns over the past three years have been competitive relative to peer multi-strategy funds. We particularly value the alignment of interests built into the firm's structure, which gives us confidence in the durability of performance incentives."

"We first met the Centiva team through a referral from another allocator in our network and were immediately struck by the calibre of the people and the clarity of their investment philosophy. The due diligence process was thorough, and management was transparent in discussing both their competitive advantages and the areas where they were still building out capabilities. Eighteen months into our investment, performance has been solid relative to our expectations, and the portfolio has provided genuine diversification to our equity-heavy book. Communication from the investor relations team is proactive and detailed, which we greatly appreciate."

"Centiva Capital's systematic and quantitative strategies were the primary reason we initiated coverage of the firm, and our conviction in that part of the portfolio has only grown since our initial allocation. The team's background in statistical arbitrage and systematic macro is evident in the quality of the models and the discipline of execution. We have been particularly impressed by how the firm has managed drawdowns, consistently keeping peak-to-trough declines well within the parameters discussed during onboarding. This is a manager we intend to grow with over time."

"Our allocation to Centiva Capital Europe has been one of the more successful decisions in our recent alternatives portfolio review cycle. The firm's multi-manager model provides access to strategy-level specialization that we would not be able to assemble independently, and the portfolio construction process ensures that we are not paying for redundant risk exposures. The leadership team is accessible, intellectually engaged, and genuinely receptive to investor feedback — qualities that are rarer than they should be in the industry. We have recommended Centiva to peers in our network without hesitation."
