Niche asset classes and growth strategy

1 Asset Management is an investment management company licensed by the Bank of Lithuania, providing services to institutional and private investors. Our investment strategies are focused on niche asset classes and a growth strategy.

Our vision

  • FOCUS

    Since the establishment of the asset management company, we have decided to choose narrow niches for our investments and focus our main energy on value creation and growth. This is how the ideas for airport hotels, modern student housing, and other strategies of our foundations were born.

  • COURAGE AND CONSISTENCY

    We take a bold first step and consistently continue on our chosen path, successfully adapting to changing economic situations. We have already proven this in the airport hotel, modern student housing, veterinary clinic and other investment projects.
