He has worked on creating and marketing an asymmetric, quantitative management range in the form of investment funds and dedicated mandates for private and institutional clients.
Pinel holds a degree from the HEC Business School at the University of Lausanne and a Swiss federal diploma as a financial analyst and asset manager.
