A New Standard in Institutional Investment
Elevate Capital Management
Elevate Capital Management is an institutional investment firm founded in 2025, built on the conviction that the convergence of finance, science, and engineering creates a durable and differentiated edge in capital markets.
The firm deploys a disciplined two-pillar investment strategy: a long market approach anchored in fundamental research and a quantitative hedge strategy powered by proprietary algorithms, AI infrastructure, and machine learning.
Founded by Derek Hébert, Richard Dedu, and Augie Sylk — three principals who collectively bring decades of experience across insurance, capital markets, quantitative finance, and multi-generational wealth management — Elevate was established to offer sophisticated investors a genuinely differentiated alternative.
