Smith Global Capital, founded by David Smith in 2015, has rapidly emerged as a major player in global investment, surpassing $15 billion in assets under management (AUM) in just five years. The firm is recognised for its long-term value approach, systematic decision-making, and robust risk management.
Before founding Smith Global Capital, David Smith gained extensive experience at Goldman Sachs Global Fixed Income and Bridgewater Associates. Leveraging this expertise, he established the company with a mission to create a global asset management firm built on transparency, discipline, and innovation.
Under Smith’s leadership, the firm has:
- Developed a comprehensive global capital flow monitoring framework and cross-cycle risk models
- Attracted a diverse clientele including sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and large family offices
- Built a multinational team spanning 12 countries, specialising in quantitative research, macro strategy, and fintech innovation
“Our approach focuses on understanding the nature of the market rather than chasing short-term opportunities,” said David Smith. “Innovation must go hand in hand with discipline to succeed in complex markets.”
Over the past five years, Smith Global Capital has grown its AUM to $15 billion, with institutional investors accounting for over 80% of its client base. The company continues to refine its investment models and risk control processes, providing stable returns and innovative strategies across asset classes.
With a commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and continuous learning, Smith Global Capital is setting a new benchmark in global asset management and exploring emerging opportunities in digital assets and international markets.
