Press Snips


  • We, here at Archbridge Capital are trying to inform our readers about some of the trades that we take ourselves and to demonstrate our views about the markets. In short we put our money where our mouth is and are quiet otherwise. Obviously, we do not publish all our trades and also do not publish our ideas before we have put on the trades ourselves, as we do need to leave some advantage to our investors and ourselves. 

  • We believe that in that spirit we should also update you every once in a while, when we are in the press giving interviews on CNBC, the BBC or Bloomberg. Hence from now on we will share some of our newspaper snippits that are market-orientated. 
  • We have not decided in what shape we will do this. Perhaps we will simply attach a weblink to our usual research reports or like today publish a whole page with the articles attached. We shall be guided by our investors and readers on this.
  • The below articles published a while ago highlight both our views on volatility at the time (which we tend not to publish in our reports) and our view about the oil price.

From Bloomberg News:

Brent Spreads Hit 8-Month Low as Supply Recovers

15th of March 2013

By Grant Smith & Rupert Rowling

“Tightness in the Brent market is being alleviated,” said Hakan Kocayusufpasaoglu, chief investment officer at Archbridge Capital AG, a Zug, Switzerland-based hedge fund. “For long- only, commodity-index investors the narrowing of the backwardation is going to make Brent slightly less attractive.”

Oil options lure banks on calmest WTI since 1996

31st of January 2013

By Grant Smith & Rupert Rowling

“It’s a very good time to buy options,” said Hakan Kocayusufpasaoglu, chief investment officer at hedge fund Archbridge Capital AG in Zug, Switzerland. “Risks like geopolitical dangers and potential for supply disruptions remain, and have to be priced in again over time.”
Volatility has subsided as the threat to oil demand from economic collapse in Europe recedes and as booming output in the U.S. provides a safeguard against disruptions to Middle East exports.
