The Firm

An established private office, by design.

Launcha was built to feel less like a launch and more like a house that has always been here. Quiet, exact and selective, with confidence earned through governance rather than noise.

We believe a complex investment proposition should feel clear, calm and professionally guided. The work is to remove uncertainty, not to add persuasion.

What we do

Systematic strategies, run with discipline.

Launcha runs a disciplined, automated gold strategy, alongside a defined put options programme and an algorithmic US equities fund. Each follows predefined rules and a quantitative framework, with an AI-assisted layer for reading changing markets.

The aim is consistency and control, not discretionary calls. Risk is managed with volatility targeting, drawdown awareness and stress testing, and the strategies can hold long or short positions as markets move.

Governance

Separation, by principle.

Research, execution and oversight are kept separate. Strategies are operated within a segregated portfolio structure, with independent administration and audit, and reporting on a weekly net asset value basis.
