Markets change. Lives change. Responsibilities evolve. Terra Nova Asset Management partners with clients who value clear thinking, disciplined decision‑making, and long‑term continuity. Our role is not to predict markets or chase trends, but to steward capital thoughtfully through uncertainty—across cycles and generations.
Who We Are
We are an independent investment advisor and specialize in serving European and U.S. clients who either live in Europe or in the U.S. Before we started our partner-owned firm in May 1998, we worked for European financial institutions in Europe and the U.S., which gave us the experience to understand the cultural and structural differences between countries. We provide an overall service with a main focus on preserving and growing our clients’ assets over time; and a secondary focus on providing ancillary services to help our clients to find answers by bridging their geographical distance and language barriers.
The Why
We believe in long-term relationships with our clients based on a commitment to your goals. As independent investment advisors serving U.S. and European clients, we provide comprehensive services with a primary focus on preserving and growing your assets over time. The ancillary services we provide also help our clients find answers by bridging geographical distances and language barriers, whether living in Europe or in the United States.
Our wealth management and investment strategies are based on our commitment to transparency—helping you realize the future you’ve always imagined.
We Believe in Long-Term Relationships
Many of our clients built their fortunes over time through successful entrepreneurship and dedication. We respect our clients for their great achievements and continue on their path with the same care by investing their assets for the long run with a focus on time and not timing. We form a partnership with our clients which has proven to be the main pillar of our success and our clients’ satisfaction.
What It’s Like to Work With Us
Decision‑First Investing
We focus on why decisions are made, not just how portfolios perform. Every allocation has intent, context, and clearly defined risk.
Risk Before Return
Capital preservation and downside awareness are foundational. We manage uncertainty deliberately, not reactively.
Transparency & Alignment
As fiduciaries, our interests are aligned with yours. Fees, risks, and trade‑offs are explained clearly and without marketing language.
Continuity Across Generations
We design structures and processes that endure beyond market cycles—and beyond individuals.
Whom We Serve
We like to get to know our clients well enough so that we can best serve them. Before we decide to work together, we want to ensure that we share the same values and understanding in terms of approach, process, and philosophy as our success largely depends on it. If we find that we are not a good choice for our clients, we will recommend another firm that may be a better fit. We serve a select group of high-net-worth individuals and families from Europe and the U.S. who are looking for professional guidance in managing their financial affairs in order to:
Continue growing their wealth
Generate income
Protect their assets in down markets
Ensure they are making the right decisions in all aspects of their finances
