Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – Amplia Wealth, an independent wealth manager with offices in both Switzerland and Finland, has appointed Mikael Simonsen as Chief Investment Officer of Amplia Wealth Finland. Simonsen, known in the Nordic hedge fund industry as a managing partner at Visio Asset Management and portfolio manager of its risk-premia-focused hedge fund strategy, will now lead Amplia’s investment operations in Finland.

With over 20 years of experience in investment management, Simonsen has held key leadership roles, including CEO and portfolio manager at Visio Asset Management and Chief Investment Officer at Icecapital Asset Management. In early 2022, he launched the Visio Siilo fund under the umbrella of Visio – a fund designed to capitalize on the mean reversion of related but isolated risk premia. The fund was wound down in the second half of 2023, leading Simonsen to step down as CEO, as the Siilo project was a central part of his role at the firm. He also brings substantial institutional experience, having served as Head of Tactical Asset Allocation at Ilmarinen for six years. Additionally, he spent nearly eight years at Nordea Markets as a cross-asset-focused Chief Sales Manager, specializing in institutional sales.

“I’m thrilled to share that I have joined Amplia Wealth Management as Chief Investment Officer. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to contribute to such an innovative team,” announces Simonsen on LinkedIn. “Amplia Wealth Management is a Swiss asset manager that has recently expanded its physical operations to Finland and offers true open architecture and high-end service,” he continues. “It’s exciting to have the luxury to manage investments on behalf of others in the same way I manage my own – focusing on returns and risk.”

“I’m thrilled to share that I have joined Amplia Wealth Management as Chief Investment Officer. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to contribute to such an innovative team.”

As CIO of Amplia Wealth Finland, Simonsen will lead the Investment Committee, oversee macroeconomic analysis, and manage the portfolio management team and asset allocation. Amplia Wealth is an independent Swiss-Finnish asset management group, with offices in Zurich, Helsinki, and Turku. The group is regulated by both the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA).
