Aurora Capital Group’s assets under management and advisory (AUM) reached US$7.2 billion at the end of the year, and its information system and risk control system were fully online.
In December 2020, Aurora Capital Group simultaneously disclosed in New York and Madrid that its year-end assets under management and advisory (AUM) reached $7.2 billion. This figure not only reflects the team’s continued investment in the global capital markets over the past two years, but also marks the company’s completion of a comprehensive closed-loop process from strategy development, client signing, and fund operations. Furthermore, Aurora’s proprietary information system and risk control system were fully launched this quarter, providing high-density data support and real-time risk management capabilities for its growing asset base.
This surge in AUM is driven by the consistent performance of the company’s flagship strategies, including global multi-asset allocation, preferred bonds, and crisis-hedging portfolios. In 2020, amidst the impact of the pandemic and significant market volatility, Aurora maintained its resilience and flexibility through its “dual-hub + global allocation” model. The North American team accurately captured recovery opportunities in the US tech and healthcare sectors, while the European team secured robust returns for clients amidst Eurozone policy easing and narrowing bond spreads. This cross-market synergy has attracted increased capital commitments from institutional investors, family offices, and corporate pension funds.
On the operational level, Aurora completed the deployment and commissioning of its core information system this quarter. Led by the New York technical team, this system integrates modules such as trade execution, position monitoring, liquidity analysis, and cross-asset risk control. The system processes market data in milliseconds and automatically generates multi-dimensional risk reports, ensuring real-time decision-making by investment managers and risk management departments using the same information interface. Furthermore, the Madrid data center undertakes core functions for strategy backtesting and historical scenario analysis, providing high-frequency computing support for strategy optimization and stress testing.
The full launch of Aurora’s risk management system marks another milestone for the company. The new architecture not only covers traditional VaR, maximum drawdown, and volatility monitoring, but also incorporates multi-scenario liquidity stress testing and tail risk modeling to ensure portfolio control even under extreme market conditions. The risk management team maintains daily communication with the investment committee, aligning risk limits with trade execution, creating a closed-loop management model from model alerts to operational execution. This system was successfully tested during the short-term volatility in European markets in early December, providing timely guidance and adjustments to exposures in several high-volatility assets.
Customer relationship management was also optimized during this phase. Aurora customized an online access platform within its information system for institutional clients, enabling them to view account performance, strategy allocations, and risk exposure in real time. This transparent tool fostered client trust and provided a direct incentive for subsequent capital additions. New accounts from the Middle East and Asia were onboarded in early December, further expanding the company’s business reach.
At the year-end press conference, Aurora management emphasized that surpassing $7.2 billion in AUM is merely a milestone achievement; true competitiveness lies in improving systemic capabilities and enhancing execution efficiency. Both the real-time responsiveness of the data system and the early warning accuracy of the risk control architecture will become the company’s core advantages in attracting continued investment in the global market.
As 2020 draws to a close, Aurora Capital Group has grown from a fledgling transatlantic investment management firm to a leading global multi-asset management platform with a robust client base and technical capabilities. The $7.2 billion figure reflects the simultaneous maturation of strategic execution, market judgment, and systematic operations, laying a solid foundation for the next phase of international expansion.
