The House
Established in Montreux in 2011. Built on two equal pillars.
Chimera Arbitrage SA is a privately held trade and investment house. We operate where physical markets and capital meet — moving essential commodities from source to industry, and channelling strategic capital into the businesses and projects that need it.
Our two disciplines are deliberately integrated. Insight from the trading floor informs our investment judgement; our advisory relationships open new, reliable supply chains. Counterparties gain a single, discreet partner across the full life of a mandate.
