Diversified offering for investors


Galena funds span metals, energy and commodity equities. Our funds represent a deep and broad offering of investment opportunities that consistently deliver above-average returns. Our fund managers identify the best approach dependent on fundamentals and momentum in physical and derivatives markets. What makes Galena different is that it determines relative value. It does not follow a high-octane investment strategy. This allows us to take a coordinated and controlled approach towards profiting from inefficiencies thus unlocking longer-term strategic value.
