Our Services

Severus Capital works across three core pillars of the asset management ecosystem, helping firms design, launch, and scale investment products and frameworks that deliver sustainable growth. Our approach is flexible, pragmatic and tailored to each client’s stage, ambition, and market.

ETF Incubator

The global ETF market is growing at almost double the pace of the broader asset management industry, with active ETFs driving the next wave of innovation. Yet entering this market requires more than a strong investment idea, it demands the right structure, capital markets knowledge, and distribution strategy.

For asset managers, digital wealth platforms and neobanks exploring the ETF business model, the Severus ETF Incubator provides the expertise to turn strategy into a scalable product. In partnership with ecosystem participants, Severus ETF Incubator enables firms to accelerate their ETF strategy by providing:

Assessing whether a white-label platform, proprietary structure, or partnership offers the best route to market.

Working with internal partners on product strategy, product development and competitive benchmarking.

Helping managers understand liquidity, seeding, and trading dynamics.

Training and supporting sales teams to position ETFs effectively.

Building credibility and signalling long-term commitment to the ETF business.

OCIO & Portfolio Solutions

Family offices and boutique wealth managers with the goal of strengthening investment governance, meet regulatory expectations, and deliver value in competitive markets. Many lack the in-house resources to design robust investment frameworks at scale.

Severus Capital provides an outsourced CIO (OCIO) function that complements existing capabilities and delivers credibility with end-investors. We help firms:

Across ETFs, active mutual funds, liquid alternatives, and index strategies.

Designing compliant, scalable frameworks that withstand regulatory scrutiny.

Building robust frameworks aligned to risk, return and liquidity needs.

Delivering insights on market trends and opportunities to guide asset allocation.

Private Markets Advisory

Private markets are increasingly central to institutional and high-net-worth portfolios, but structuring products, selecting jurisdictions, and building distribution strategies remain complex and resource-intensive.

Our role is to enable managers to structure and distribute funds effectively, ensuring credibility and scalability.

We enable private credit and alternative managers to bring strategies to market with credibility and scale. Our skillset helps businesses:

Identifying the most appropriate wrappers across Europe, including Luxembourg, Ireland, and beyond.

Designing routes to institutional and wholesale channels, tailored to each client segment.

Connecting managers with trusted administrators, custodians, and legal partners.

Creating investor-ready products with clear positioning and sustainable structures.
