Providentia Capital LLP was founded in 2004 by Gulamabbas Lakha who built a team of experienced investment professionals to develop Global Tactical Asset Allocation (GTAA) investment techniques.  The investment process he has created offers an original perspective on relationships between bond, equity, currency and commodity markets across the world.  This approach innovatively integrates the art of GTAA based portfolio construction with the mathematics of asymmetry.  In response to investor requests, Providentia launched a specialist GTAA advisory service in 2008.  The third dimension of the group is Providentia Partners which creates joint venture relationships with new and dynamic investment companies.

Prior to founding Providentia Capital, Gulamabbas Lakha worked at Baring Asset Management in London and Boston, specialising in asset allocation with responsibilities for macroeconomics, econometric modelling, quantitative portfolio construction, as well as providing a global strategy perspective to managing a fund of hedge funds.  Gulamabbas has been an active proponent of GTAA, speaking regularly at conferences across Europe.

Shortly after the establishment of Providentia Capital, Gulamabbas Lakha was joined by Cesar Molinas who spent seven years as a Managing Director with Merrill Lynch in London, where he practiced as the Global Asset Allocation Strategist and the European Fixed Income Strategist, among other positions. Previously Cesar served ten years with the Spanish government, mostly in European Union affairs.  As Director General for Planning, he had full responsibility for the management of the European structural funds (€3bn per year).  He was also a Director of the CNMV, the Spanish financial markets regulator.  Preceding this he devoted ten years to academic research and lecturing at a number of universities.

Today Providentia Capital has a team of global investors with many years of experience spanning portfolio management, economics, government, academia, investment banking and trading.  For further information on our history and staff please send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
