About Chicago Global Wealth
Chicago Global is a new asset manager with a singular objective: to help investors align their portfolios with the Chicago Investment Framework.
Our investment process builds on the fundamentals of quantitative asset pricing and behavioral finance developed at the University of Chicago over the last 50 years.
We create portfolios that balance defensive and opportunistic strategies to help clients grow their wealth over the long term.
Chicago Global Strategies combines multiple asset classes into an all-weather portfolio. The equity component comprises 800 companies across emerging and developed markets. The bond component contains G7 and other high-grade sovereign issuers. The fund also allocates to an "alpha book" made up of distinct, lower-capacity hedge-fund strategies that provide an uncorrelated return stream. The strategy mix adjusts dynamically over the course of the economic cycle.
Our business model is a significant departure from the industry status quo. Our cost-effective portfolios are designed for long-term investors from both a retail and institutional background, guided by the core principles of theory and data working together.

Mr. Ivan Chelebiev has 20 years' experience in asset management. His career began on Wall Street in 1999, and took him to Europe and Asia in various portfolio management and research capacities, spanning equities, bonds, and their derivatives. He helped start the hedge fund research group at Morgan Stanley, which led to the creation of indices and portfolios that stimulated the acceptance of alternative investments in institutional portfolios.

He evaluated and directed investments in relative value hedge funds while at Financial Risk Management LLC, ultimately helping to manage over US$700 million. As a portfolio manager with LGT Capital Partners, he ran top-down sector allocation and investment selection for a US$1.2 billion hedge fund portfolio. After the fall of Lehman Brothers in 2008, he launched a private investment partnership that made direct investments across three dimensions: equity, credit, and volatility.
