They are professional, knowledgeable, and institutional in their practices which makes running multiple funds on their platform both robust and effective.” Sean Benson CIO Tees River Fund ![Sean Benson](https://akj.com/api/media/file/Screenshot%202026-11-04%20at%2020.51.46.png) > “I’ve set up my first fund with AKJ 11 years ago. They’ve been an exceptional partner, professional and offering support maybe beyond a traditional business relationship.” > > Dalibor Antonic, Cobold Fund > “We like taking calculated risks. Giving up AKJ isn’t one of them.” > > Petter Jensen, CIO, Impega Fund > “We run two very different strategies on AKJ's platform — a long/short equity book and a fund of funds — and the platform absorbs the operational difference rather than passing it back to us. That leaves our team where it should be: on positions and on our investors.” > > Nicolas Vassaux, COO & Co-Founding Partner, NOIA Capital Fund > “Merit Securities has worked with AKJ since 2012. What began as a pure execution relationship grew steadily from there. Throughout, what we have valued most is their professionalism and reliability, together with the flexibility and speed with which any issue that arises is resolved.” > > Thomas V.
