Our Story

In the realm of asset management, tradition and innovation often exist in parallel lanes. But, in the summer of 2023, three old school asset managers dared to merge these lanes into a thrilling new pathway, establishing MidSquare - an ambitious start-up focused on the limitless potential of digital assets.

Born out of a desire to break away from the shackles of conventional asset management, MidSquare sprouted from a desire to explore new frontiers. As founders, with a wealth of experience in traditional asset management, we found ourselves wanting to explore new and innovative ways of delivering the best outcomes for clients. We imagined a radical reimagining of the space, one that wasn’t simply evolving with the times, but actively shaping them.

Embracing the Digital Frontier

This desire led us to a bold frontier: the burgeoning landscape of digital assets. We share an unwavering belief in a future that is not merely digital, but fundamentally shaped by digital innovation. It isn't enough to just understand digital assets; we want to delve deep, exploring the very core of this brave new world — the underlying fundamentals of blockchains and decentralisation.

We see not only a vast untapped market but also a realm teeming with potential to revolutionise the way investors view and interact with their assets. We understand that to truly engage with this new realm, we need to become more than mere spectators. We need to be the torchbearers, empowering our clients to go boldly into the new era of digital investing.
