The story
behind our brand name
It began with the word “Emunah”, which is a synonym for trust, truth, conviction, and faith. By sharing these exact values – we became EMUN. We adhere to the ideals of the Renaissance, which drew its attention to the humankind itself, to the present moment and higher learning. The fate of multitalented Renaissance artists was intertwined with their patrons who were comprised of distinguished families who supported the arts. The example of the Medici dynasty speaks for itself.
At EMUN, we draw on the legacy of the Renaissance. In the service of every family, we employ a multidisciplinary approach as well as the sense for order, from which preservation strategies of family values and the art of investment are born.
EMUN family office was established in 2011 and has since expanded through the addition of the EMUN investment company.

Investment
philosophy
OUR GOALS ARE MUTUALLY ALIGNED WITH OUR CLIENTS
The core foundation of EMUN’s investment philosophy is to solely invest in things that we understand or would invest our own funds into.
We strive to ensure that our clients understand our recommended investments by providing concise and regular reports.
As such we do not grow at the expense of our clients, our fees are fair and transparent and our client’s investment results are always our top priority.
DIVERSIFICATION
As part of broad diversification, we emphasize strategic allocation and optimal distribution of assets. We search for the best investment solution with a focus on suitable strategic asset allocation. We do not choose short-term trends, as it is crucial for us to preserve values and limit potential losses. We primarily invest in the developed and historically proven capital markets of the United States and Europe.
INDEPENDENCE
We only work with top banks, investment companies, and asset managers from across the market. We are truly independent when it comes to choosing the right investment strategies and tools as we do not receive commission from the sale of any products. Therefore, any commission that is earned is transferred to our clients’ accounts.
Philanthropy
We have long supported culture and education. We work closely with the Via and Via Clarita foundations and aim to develop and cultivate philanthropy in Czech Republic. We also encourage our employees to act charitably so that together we can improve the quality of life of those around us.
The world of philanthropy, which we hold close to our hearts can also be presented to our clients. As a result of understanding the importance of introducing future generations to philanthropic activities, we strive to inspire them to structure their family’s activities to have the widest possible social impact. Hence, supporting our clients’ cultural and educational projects.
For their philanthropic foundations we suggest suitable strategic allocations inspired by the best practices from abroad.
