Mr. Ubaghs shared a few key insights with us during a recent interview:

During times of extreme volatility, can you recommend a particular investment strategy?

I think you can profit from volatility; I don´t necessarily see it as a problem. I think volatility is a problem for people who are focused on short term gains, many people are having trouble because they are not hedging correctly. You always need to manage your risk, but in volatile times there are returns to be made from buying and selling.

As a world traveler, what would you say are the biggest differences between the American financial system and the structures in other first world countries?

To be honest, I think the American financial system is still pretty rusty, especially the finance industry. It is so difficult for foreign companies to enter that market, and I think there are so many opportunities right now in Europe, Asia, but it´s difficult for American investors to position themselves due to extensive compliance procedures on both sides.



Can you share with our readers the story behind your company, TWR Investments?

I realized that I was wasting a lot of time working with third parties who were not doing their job well, when we started we were in the asset management space and were using third party brokers, lawyers, advisors and so on. I noticed that there were many mistakes made by these third parties and that´s how I decided to launch TWR Investments Group. We actually started investing in startups and building a cohesive ecosystem, with the focus of having more control.

As the finance world continues to endure major challenges, more and more high and UHNW individuals are looking for attractive alternatives to traditional investment vehicles. Companies founded and managed by young financial entrepreneurs have gained momentum and through the use of technology, a clear understanding of socioeconomic and generational changes currently in play and a level of adaptability that the old behemoths of finance clearly lack.

Disruption seems to be the name of the game, and when it comes to asymmetric risk versus reward ratios, multi-national companies with a younger mindset tend to capture better returns as the flexibility that makes them so dangerous for the traditional structures continues to act as a major catalyst for industry-wide changes.
