The Meaning Behind the Name
Hersillon derives from a fortified military instrument. It originates from the French hérisson (hedgehog), an iron-spiked wooden beam set on a pivot, used to block breaches and defend strategic positions.
At Hersillon, this principle translates into capital protection by managing the risk across diversified portfolios and using our edge to deliver alpha.
Just as hersillon blocked enemy advances, we apply risk management tools to shield capital from erosion of drawdowns, allowing for calculated expansion on fertile soil.
The 6 Core Fundamentals of Hersillon
In trading and investing, survival comes first. Growth follows through strategic advantage. Hersillon stands on six core fundamentals – unshakable pillars that define our path.
We know our What, our Why, and our How – because purpose without execution is wishful thinking, and execution without purpose is blind.
1. Risk Management
This is our foundation. By systematically managing risk, we protect capital and create the conditions for sustainable growth.
2. Consequence
Long-term success requires consistency. We apply our strategy across markets with discipline, ensuring that every decision aligns with our core principles.
3. Patience
Nothing great is achieved overnight. Growth requires time, resilience, and the ability to endure uncertainty. The strongest results come to those who remain committed through every cycle.
4. Improvement
Panta Rhei – everything flows, and so do markets. A shifting world demands constant evaluation. Both successes and mistakes present opportunities to refine our approach and uncover new investment potential.
5. Ceaseless Learning
Progress is built on knowledge. Staying ahead means embracing a mindset of continuous learning, adapting to change, and evolving with the world around us.
6. Impact
This is our ultimate goal. At Hersillon, risk management is not just about moving numbers from one place to another – it’s about creating the foundation for meaningful change.
