About us
We focus on one investment strategy and we are deeply and actively focusing on the stock markets we invest in.
PYN Fund Management Ltd is an independent, management-owned Finnish fund manager.
Established to manage the PYN Elite Fund, which began operations on February 1, 1999, we do not aim to be a comprehensive asset manager or a fund house. Our goal is to offer investors our unique investment expertise.
We focus on one investment strategy and dive deeply and actively into the stock markets in which we invest. This approach has proven successful for us over the past 24 years.
PYN Fund Management Ltd holds an Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) license issued by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority, and both the fund and management company are under the supervision of the Financial Supervisory Authority.
We manage both the investments and administration of the PYN Elite Special Investment Fund, taking care of tasks such as compliance and risk management.
Furthermore, our investment activities are supported by PYN Asia Research, which provides research and analysis services to PYN Fund Management in Thailand and Vietnam.
