Nexus Arb
We unite elite financial innovators and proprietary quantitative frameworks to forge an agile, performance-driven partnership that consistently outperforms market benchmarks. Specializing in private market arbitrage, we source, structure, and execute high-conviction, off-market transactions across growth-stage equities, OTC block trades, structured secondaries, and special situations, delivering efficient and strategic solutions aligned with investors' goals.
Our Investment Approach
We are not mere allocators of capital. We actively engage in the markets we serve, deploying both our proprietary capital and institutional funds with precision. Every investment decision is backed by deep market intelligence and strategic execution, ensuring that every position is structured for optimal return.
Proprietary Capital
Our dual-capital structure fosters deep alignment with clients, ensuring a relentless focus on generating real differentiated returns in inefficient markets. By integrating proprietary insights with institutional access, we systematically unlock strategies designed to capitalize on overlooked opportunities with precision.
Opportunity Creation
We create opportunity not by chasing trends, but by engineering price dislocations and capital mismatches that others overlook. Our approach is driven by deep market intelligence, proprietary sourcing, and strategic execution, allowing us to identify inefficiencies and capitalize on asymmetric advantages. This enables us to structure high-conviction investments that align with investor objectives and deliver measurable results.

A Legacy of Adaptation and Performance

Strategic Pivot to Macao
Relocated and restructured with a new trading name, Nexus Capital Partners, refocusing on high-margin private market strategies.
Global Integration
Comprehensively streamlined, fully modernized, and rebranded as Nexus Arb, with a heavy focus on hitting 2030 AUM targets
The Macao Advantage
Positioned in one of the world's most dynamic financial hubs, Macao offers a strategic offshore framework that empowers global investors. Our presence here ensures tax-efficient structures, regulatory stability, and seamless cross-border transactions, providing clients with unparalleled advantages.
As a specialized offshore investment firm, we leverage Macao's pro-business regulations to structure exclusive opportunities, ensuring optimal asset protection and operational efficiency for our clients worldwide.
Strict Privacy Advocates
In an era where financial data is increasingly vulnerable, we stand as unwavering guardians of privacy. Every strategy, structure, and deal we execute is built upon a foundation of absolute discretion, ensuring that our clients' business remains protected from unnecessary exposure.
Our standards are meticulously designed to uphold confidentiality, security, and autonomy. We believe that privacy isn't just a preference, it's a fundamental right. By leveraging cutting-edge security protocols and operating within private capital markets, we ensure that our clients maintain complete control over their financial affairs without interference.
In a world where privacy, particularly in financial markets, and exclusivity are increasingly valuable commodities, our firm maintains a near-zero digital footprint by design. We do not seek publicity, nor do we market our services to the public. Our operations are intentionally quiet, selective, and relationship-driven. We serve a highly discerning clientele of professional investors who value discretion as much as performance. This approach isn’t for everyone, and that’s exactly the point. We believe true privacy is not only a safeguard, but a competitive advantage.
We don't just talk privacy, we act on it across all our operations. Whether executing strategic investments, navigating secondary market transactions, or structuring bespoke deals, our firm operates with total discretion. We go beyond industry norms to ensure that all transactions, communications, and relationships remain shielded from external scrutiny, solidifying our reputation as champions of financial privacy.
What Sets Us Apart
Capital at Risk
We don’t just advise, we invest. Our own capital is committed alongside that of our clients in almost every deal. This investment model ensures true alignment of interests and underscores our conviction. We’re not chasing fees; we’re pursuing risk-adjusted alpha with skin in the game. When you succeed, we succeed.
Edge in Access
We operate where access and timing matter most, private rounds, OTC block trades, and special situations. By tracking institutional flows and emerging trends, we move early, often securing positions before the broader market catches on. It’s a strategy that depends on instinct, deep networks, and the discipline to act when the window opens.
Conviction-Based Strategy
We’re not in the volume game. Instead, we operate with focus and discipline, executing a concentrated number of high-conviction investments. This allows us to dive deep, perform rigorous due diligence, and design custom strategies. The goal: outsized, asymmetric returns from idiosyncratic bets, not just market beta.
Global, Yet Focused
We serve clients in over 70 countries, bringing a global perspective with targeted precision. We understand the complexities of cross-border investing, regulatory environments, cultural nuance, local market dynamics, and apply that insight to sectors where we have deep expertise. Our global reach enhances execution, but it’s our focused strategy that drives performance.
