About
Nair is a family office that manages the wealth of Vinod Nair and his family. Vinod Nair previously founded and ran Matterhorn Advisory Singapore, a licensed boutique fund manager.
Nair aims to be an international, nimble, family-managed firm that looks at near-term opportunities to create long-term value. Nair is unconstrained by any pre-determined conventions of asset management. This allows us to explore a broad spectrum of investment themes, particularly with respect to emerging concepts and markets.
Nair invests in companies that show strong fundamentals and operate on sound business principles. We buy when we believe that the market has under-valued the strategies and infrastructure put in place by these companies for long-term growth. With a focus on Indian, US and European equities, we place a strong emphasis on ethical companies, and we buy to hold.
