Built for the industry, by the industry
Integrity. Connectivity. Security.
Integrity. Connectivity. Security.
In the midst of the global financial crisis Sam Gilstrap and Bret Prawitt were appointed by the US Bankruptcy Court in California to manage a $350m portfolio of distressed assets.
They soon found that sharing essential financial information among investors, banks, trustees and the courts was cumbersome, inaccurate and insecure. Each institution had its own silo-based system that couldn’t communicate with others. To resolve the crisis and prevent it happening again the industry desperately needed transparency of data and close collaboration between diverse parties, but the infrastructure didn’t exist.
Sam and Bret invested their own time and money to solve the problem. It helped them achieve double the return on investment of comparable portfolios – in half the time.
In 2013, Sam and Bret founded AssetLogic in Luxembourg in order to benefit from the world’s highest levels of data privacy, security and performance. They then started to build a information network and explore how it could be applied to the global investment industry.
Today all AssetLogic data, intellectual property and corporate governance are within the jurisdiction of Luxembourg. And the system relies on a proprietary “permissioning” engine to share critical financial information around the world.
Alongside the AssetLogic executive team, the following organisations kindly act as advisors on our Steering Committee.
