§01
Digical / 01The mandate
One family. One balance sheet. No artificial horizon.
Founded in 2022 in the canton of Vaud, Digical administers a single family's patrimony with full discretion over time horizon, sector and instrument. We answer to no LPs, no benchmarks, no quarterly clock.
§02
Digical / 02Principles
01
Precise ownership
Every position is funded from the family balance sheet. No leverage of opinion, no ambiguity of interest.
02
Patient holding
We hold for as long as the thesis holds. The registry does not flinch at quarters.
03
Permanent alignment
A single book across the full instrument set — the same capital, the same name, decade after decade.
04
Quiet governance
Swiss discretion. Public disclosure only when required.
05

Aligned co-investors on select transactions — never a fund.
