Aurora Capital Group’s core team is established in New York and Madrid, confirming its “Dual Hubs in the US and Europe + Global Allocation” strategy

In March 2018, the New York Financial District still felt chilly. In the conference room of Aurora Capital Group, several core members from both sides of the Atlantic gathered around a long table. Spread out on the table were not only laptops and market reports, but also several global asset allocation charts marked with red and blue markers. This day marked the official completion of Aurora Capital Group’s simultaneous core team formation in New York and Madrid, laying the strategic foundation for the company’s global expansion.

Aurora Capital Group was born from a clear conviction: in an era of highly mobile global capital, the opportunities and risks of a single market cannot fully meet the long-term goals of high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors. A dual-hub layout in New York and Madrid not only provides direct access to core financial markets in North America and Europe, but also enables the team to maintain real-time responsiveness and decision-making across different time zones and market cycles. In the founder’s vision, this structure was not simply about formal distribution, but about the substantive interconnection of business and information.

The process of assembling the core team was not hasty. Beginning in late 2017, Aurora identified several investment managers in New York with extensive experience in hedge funds, private equity, and cross-border M&A. These individuals possess a deep understanding of Wall Street’s capital operations and are well-placed to capitalize on opportunities in US stocks, US dollar bonds, and innovative assets. In Madrid, the company recruited senior executives from major European asset managers and investment banks, familiar with the Eurozone’s monetary environment, policy dynamics, and structural opportunities in emerging European markets. This talent mix provides the company with a balanced perspective and execution capabilities across the US and European markets.

During multiple cross-time zone video conferences in New York and Madrid, the team gradually finalized its future business strategy: “Dual Hubs in the US and Europe with Global Allocation.” This represents not only a geographical layout but also a reflection of its investment methodology. The New York team will focus on high-liquidity opportunities in the North American capital markets, including growth technology companies, US dollar-denominated bonds, and commodity derivatives; while the Madrid team will focus on industrial upgrading, green energy investments, and high-yield emerging market bonds in Europe. The two teams, leveraging a shared data platform and real-time communication mechanisms, will form a comprehensive investment network across markets and asset classes.

Another core element of this strategy is the flexibility of global allocation. Aurora Capital Group does not intend to be rigidly focused on a specific region or industry in its asset allocation, but rather dynamically adjusts its positions based on global macroeconomic cycles and regional risks. For example, when the Federal Reserve enters a rate hike cycle, the New York team will focus on arbitrage opportunities arising from a stronger dollar, while the Madrid team may increase investments in export-oriented companies in the Eurozone. This complementary approach enables the firm to maintain robust returns across different phases of global markets.

This high-level meeting in March 2018 not only formalized the team’s lineup but also marked the initial formation of the company’s culture. Aurora emphasizes independent decision-making and in-depth analysis, not relying on a single perspective but instead drawing investment conclusions through cross-regional and interdisciplinary research. At the conclusion of the meeting, core members from both locations unanimously agreed that the dual-hub architecture is not only necessary for business expansion but also a natural defensive and offensive mechanism against future market uncertainties.

As night falls in Manhattan and Madrid, the lights remain bright in Aurora Capital Group’s offices. Screens in New York flash with Asian market opening data, while trading terminals in Madrid scroll through after-hours US stock quotes. This seamless operational rhythm is exactly what the company aims to provide its clients: continuous attention across time zones and real-time capture of global opportunities. In March 2018, Aurora Capital Group’s dual-hub strategy transitioned from a blueprint to reality, marking the first step in its global expansion.
