Our story
AF Advisors is a leading consultancy boutique that services asset owners, asset managers and service providers within the investment industry by combining deep industry knowledge and expertise with a practical, multi-disciplinary approach since 2008.
We are a team of experienced industry professionals who take pride in offering our clients commercial, strategic and operational solutions that are achieved by leveraging close collaboration, practical hands-on experience and cutting-edge industry knowledge.
We help our clients to meet their commercial and strategic goals across diverse challenges in five business lines Investment Consultancy, Organizational Consultancy, Regulatory Consultancy, Structuring and Strategy Consultancy.
Our specific experience and expertise enables us to fully support our clients from start to finish across a broad range of initiatives, including strategic and tactical projects. As industry practitioners with practical experience, we do not just give advice, but we roll up our sleeves and get the job done.
Multi-disciplinary
The challenges our clients face rarely affect just one specific area of expertise and therefore require a multi-disciplinary approach. Our consultants have experience in most disciplines and are able to bring a holistic approach to their assignment. The role we serve varies depending on our clients’ needs.
Intellectual curiosity
We have a deep desire to understand the world around us and to keep learning. This desire drives us to keep asking questions and to keep looking for answers. By focusing this intellectual curiosity in the right direction, we are able to get to the core of issues. This knowledge helps us in developing an excellent understanding of the issues our clients are confronted with and might face in the future.
Practical
We believe consulting involves more than simply leaving our clients with jargon-riddled reports - we deliver solutions that work. Our no-nonsense, hands-on approach ensures that advice will not remain merely a theoretical exercise but is successfully implemented to maximize potential value for our clients.
Responsible and lasting contributions
We aim to make a difference through each of our projects. Making such a difference starts with integrity. Integrity entails giving an answer even if it is not the answer our client wants to hear, making sure our work is excellent without cutting corners, and making decisions we feel we can justify and defend. Through our commitment to delivering responsible contributions we believe we can make a lasting impact on both society and our clients.
Fun at work
As much as our work requires us to remain focused, we ensure there is time to enjoy and have fun. We believe that within an environment where people work and laugh together, it becomes easier to talk to each other, which helps us build better teams and eventually aids us in achieving better results.
