In a global financial climate defined by geopolitical uncertainty, technological acceleration, and increasingly complex investment needs, Dexbridge Capital is emerging as one of Abu Dhabi’s most distinctive new advisory firms. Founded in 2024 and officially licensed by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Abu Dhabi Global Market on January 13, 2025, the firm combines Swiss-rooted precision with a forward-thinking approach that meets the evolving demands of modern wealth management.
Dexbridge Capital was built by four seasoned co-founders whose backgrounds span the world’s top financial institutions. Together, they share a conviction that traditional advisory models have not kept pace with market realities. Their answer was to create a firm defined by resilience, transparency, and a disciplined, technology-enhanced investment philosophy designed to protect wealth as aggressively as it grows it.
At the helm is Senior Executive Officer and Co-Founder Marcello Mazza, a veteran of more than 30 years in asset management, private banking, and alternatives. His career began in Switzerland in 1993, where he developed a reputation for navigating market cycles with a meticulous focus on compliance and long-term capital preservation. Having advised high-net-worth clients through decades of geopolitical change, Mazza brings a global vantage point that anchors the firm’s commitment to ethical, high-impact advisory.
Chief Investment Officer and Co-Founder Francesca Fossatelli complements that foundation with deep expertise in derivatives and structured products. Recognized in Forbes Under 30 and known for her entrepreneurial work with FreeFinance, she has built a portfolio philosophy that challenges the limits of conventional 60/40 models. Her approach blends diversification, hedging, and dynamic allocation to create resilient performance across different environments. As of 2024, her strategies have contributed to impressive results, including returns of +14.62 percent per annum and 101 profitable trades out of 114 — a metric that underscores the firm’s disciplined execution and risk management.
Co-Founder and Head of Wealth Management Nico Tschanz offers a perspective shaped by Swiss heritage and international experience at UBS in Zurich, London, and Dubai. His work in private banking and family office leadership helped refine his ability to create bespoke, cross-border solutions for clients navigating complex financial and cultural landscapes. His outreach work as a Swiss Abroad Representative to the UAE further deepens his understanding of global families seeking long-term stability in a rapidly shifting world.
Rounding out the leadership is Danilo Mancini, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder, whose background spans Borsa Italiana, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, and his role as COO at FreeFinance. Mancini is responsible for integrating the advanced analytics and data-driven systems that power Dexbridge’s investment insights. His work ensures the firm remains agile in a technology-driven market where speed, accuracy, and transparency increasingly define competitive advantage.
Despite its young age, Dexbridge Capital has already secured milestones that demonstrate its momentum. The firm rapidly obtained FSRA approval, formalized partnerships with innovators such as Landytech to streamline family office reporting, and expanded its advisory reach into,tique advisory, but as a rising force within Abu Dhabi’s financial ecosystem.
What differentiates Dexbridge is the clarity of its philosophy. The firm focuses on capital preservation, stable income generation, and long-term legacy building. Its service offering spans fixed income, CLOs, tailored investment certificates, institutional advisory, and family office solutions — all delivered without product-push incentives. This independence is central to its value proposition: clients receive advice aligned with their goals rather than market trends or sales agendas.
Dexbridge Capital’s Swiss-infused discipline and Abu Dhabi-based agility reflect a dual identity that resonates with investors seeking structure without rigidity. As global markets continue to shift, the firm is positioning itself to help families and institutions bridge short-term unpredictability with long-term strategic clarity. In doing so, Dexbridge is not only reshaping the future of wealth management in the region — it is setting a new benchmark for what modern advisory can look like in a world where resilience has never mattered more.
