01 · Origins
The Firm at a Glance
"We set out to build a house that would still be standing in fifty years — not a fund that would be remembered for a single trade."
— Alaric M. Vance, Founding Partner
Our Full History →MMV · Founded in the City of London
Invictus Heritage was founded in 2005 by three partners drawn together by a shared conviction: that the world's commodity markets — energy, metals, grain — were too important, and too cyclical, to be left to generalists.
MMXXVI · A Global House
Two decades on, the partnership has grown deliberately — never quickly. London remains the headquarters; Chicago, Singapore and Dubai followed as the firm built specialist coverage of the world's principal commodity venues.
