About Daniel Xystus

I started my career studying the stars – literally, celestial mechanics at Caltech! – but I found my calling in the financial markets.

​

Over three decades, I’ve led investment strategy across public and private markets, focusing on building scalable portfolios and resilient investment processes. I’ve managed multi-billion-dollar mandates, structured UCITS and Cayman funds, and advised on Sharia-compliant vehicles. From designing equity models in the US to launching an investment office in Hong Kong, I’ve always gravitated toward challenges that demand technical depth and cross-cultural fluency.

​

Now, I’m working independently on select mandates while actively exploring long-term opportunities — particularly in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. I aim to create environments where teams are empowered and diverse perspectives are encouraged.

​

I believe curiosity is the best risk management tool. Outside of work, I usually spend my time exploring AI and machine learning subjects, travelling, and trying to improve my wine knowledge (slowly but surely!).
