Company

URAM is an independent company created in 2007 by Dominique Casaï.  Despite the apparent youthfulness of the company, URAM offers more than 35 years experience in the natural resources sector and a track record which has been recognised with numerous awards and ratings from Morningstar (5*) and Lipper.

URAM provides advisory services to open-ended mutual funds and privately managed accounts.  Today URAM is one of the largest companies in Switzerland dedicated to natural resources and advises seven long-only Funds across the entire spectrum of natural resource investments.

Alongside best-in-class performance, the company strives to offer its clients unparalleled access to the portfolio managers.  By listening to its clients needs, URAM can leverage its independent and flexible structure to develop new ‘designer’ investment strategies.  In February 2008, URAM participated in the creation of the world’s first gold fund to invest in both gold and gold equities, and again in March 2010 participated in the creation of the world’s first fund focusing on rare and strategic metals to be used in low-carbon or green technologies.

In order to achieve its objectives, the company outsources administrative tasks where possible and has a flat management structure where decisions can be rapidly made and implemented.

Finally, URAM or ‘Undiscovered Resources Asset Management’ was founded on the firm conviction that commodities are the asset class with the most attractive fundamentals for the next 10-15 years.  We invite you to learn more about this in the Investment thesis section.
