about

us

IndexAtlas is an investment group with over 20 years of experience and more than 50 successful exits in the media, ecommerce and luxury segments around the world.

In 2017 IndexAtlas moved its headquarters from New York to Basel (Switzerland) and, to accommodate its larger capital base, broadened its investment strategy to focus on listed mid-caps in sports, education, media & entertainment. This led to another series of very successful exits from now much larger deals, specifically those made on the back of global content production, streaming and content-commerce, such as investments in Swiss Highlight Event & Entertainment AG, French-German Nexway/asknet, and American FuboTV, that IndexAtlas brought to highly successful IPO at NYSE in September 2020.

Originally established in New York in 2000 as an investment advisory firm, IndexAtlas has built its brand and access by becoming the leading investor in the global art business helping to transform it from artisanal cottage industry to the well capitalized “business of culture” that enjoyed two decades of uninterrupted growth since then. IndexAtlas’ landmark deals of that time were successful exits from Artnet, Skate’s, Artnews, Paddle8, Viennafair, and Poly Culture Group among others.

In late 2021 in response to profound changes in the global politics IndexAtlas has exited most of its investments and suspended any active new capital allocations until further notice. We are currently standing by and anxiously waiting for the end of active war in Europe, preserving the capital and resources to finance rebuilding and reconciliation efforts through investments in the pan-European post-war education, media and sports initiatives.
