Shard Fund

Shard Fund is a project, founded in the fall of 2012, which mirrors the structure and operations of an absolute return multi-strategy fund. The essential beauty of Shard Fund lies in its acuity of vision, transparency and keen perception of markets. These facets derive from a strong work ethic and steady commitment: the key ingredients generating the distinctive Shard approach. The initial idea of founders Stelian Nenkov, Ivan Natchev, Georgi Stanoev and Hristo Mihaylov was to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real market experience. What began as a collaboration between friends wishing to practice and expand their skills in the world of finance and investments, grew into an international forum for the demonstration of different perspectives. Sharing the same fundamental vision helped the founders to easily accommodate like-minded contributors, allowing both sides to mutually benefit from practical opportunities to explore the broad field of finance. Each week we write and post Sierra, which is the face of Shard Fund. It is not a newspaper nor a magazine. Sierra is simply Sierra — a one of a kind publication that captures our beliefs, interests, opinions and tracks the performance of our own portfolio. It is a journey across financial markets and, similar to a journey, there are many additional things that you witness before you reach the final destination. In our weekly issues we incorporate art, talk about interesting events and initiatives, try a joke or two and, of course, talk about financial markets. Even from a quick glimpse it is clear that our content is not constrained and we present our opinion and analysis as it is, unlike traditional media. Founded in July 2013, Sierra welcomes an ever-growing community of contributors and readers and is now shared with universities worldwide.
