A disciplined Bermudian platform with global asset management ambitions.
Maniacal Securities & Investments Bermuda is a Bermuda-based corporate platform focused on building risk-managed, scalable strategies for institutional and sophisticated investors who think in decades, not days.
The platform is currently focused on raising an international fund targeting up to USD 175 million in commitments. To qualify, prospective investors will typically be required to commit a minimum of USD 120,000 and to accept a long-term, percentage-based return profile. Specific terms, risks and eligibility criteria are set out in the relevant offering documents.
For institutional and sophisticated investors only. Not a public offer or solicitation.
The objective is simple: to build a platform that sophisticated investors recognize as serious, disciplined and structurally capable of managing significant capital over time.
We focus on investors who demand process, governance and long-term partnership: institutions, family offices, insurance balance sheets and sophisticated individuals via professional advisers.
Investment ideas are grounded in research, scenario analysis and an explicit view of downside risk. Portfolio construction emphasizes resilience across regimes, not just headline returns.
The long-term ambition is a multi-strategy platform capable of responsibly scaling capital across public, private and alternative markets, supported by independent service providers and robust governance.
Maniacal Securities & Investments Bermuda is a Black-owned, Bermudian-led corporate platform entering an industry where decision-making power and economic upside have historically been concentrated in a narrow segment of the global population. Our ambition is to help reshape that landscape – not just symbolically, but in the way capital is raised, allocated and ultimately returned to a broader set of stakeholders.
From a financial perspective, building an institutional-grade corporate platform led by principals from underrepresented backgrounds is not only a matter of fairness – it is a way to access distinct perspectives, differentiated networks and new pools of opportunity. We believe this can translate into better sourcing, better risk assessment and, over time, more resilient performance across market cycles.
As global wealth broadens across geographies and demographics, there is a need for asset managers who can speak credibly to communities that have historically been under-served by traditional finance. A Black-owned, Bermudian-based platform is well positioned to align with this evolving investor base while remaining fully focused on institutional standards of governance, reporting and risk management.
Diverse leadership is more than a narrative; it brings additional lenses to how risk, opportunity and long-term value are assessed. By intentionally building a firm that can attract and develop high-calibre professionals from a wide range of backgrounds, Maniacal aims to construct an investment decision-making process that is structurally less exposed to groupthink and blind spots.
Over the long term, the ambition is for Maniacal Securities & Investments Bermuda to stand as a trusted partner for governments and public institutions seeking capital solutions – whether for infrastructure, balance-sheet optimisation or broader development objectives. By combining rigorous financial discipline with an understanding of the communities affected, we aim to help design capital structures that are sustainable for both investors and the public sector.
For investors, selecting a manager is ultimately about process, people and alignment. Maniacal Securities & Investments Bermuda combines a risk-first, research-led framework with a leadership profile that reflects a more inclusive future for the industry. Our goal is to create a corporate platform where performance, professionalism and representation reinforce one another.
Bermudian founder Maurico Symons created Maniacal Securities & Investments Bermuda with a single, ambitious idea: to build a disciplined, globally respected investment platform that can responsibly steward institutional-scale capital over multiple generations.
His long-term vision is for the platform to grow into a global, multi-strategy firm with the capability to manage between USD 500 billion and USD 1.6 trillion in assets under management (AUM) by the year 2075, while remaining anchored in clear risk management, transparent governance and Bermudian roots.
The ambition is that, over the coming decades, Maniacal Securities & Investments Bermuda will be recognised as one of the leading investment platforms in the world – competing at the highest level of the industry in terms of performance, governance, innovation and trust with institutional investors.
Over time, the platform may offer a full suite of institutional financial services – from discretionary portfolio management and multi-asset solutions to bespoke mandates, co-investments and advisory support for complex balance sheets – always with a disciplined, risk-managed core.

The platform is designed to support a family of strategies over time. Each strategy shares the same core DNA: risk-first construction, transparent communication and an institutional mindset – all aimed at building a globally competitive asset management franchise.
Concentrated, research-driven exposure to listed securities across global markets, with a focus on capital preservation during stressed regimes and disciplined deployment when risk is mispriced.
Income-oriented strategies targeting opportunities where structural or behavioral factors create attractive risk-adjusted yields, with a constant focus on downside protection and covenant strength.
Bespoke mandates that reflect the specific constraints, liabilities and regulatory environments of institutional partners – from thematic sleeves to multi-asset portfolios and co-investments.
In the 2026 investment calendar, Maniacal Securities & Investments Bermuda is targeting the acquisition of a diversified real-economy portfolio consisting of 15 restaurant operations, one flagship hotel asset and an associated portfolio of branded products. The objective is to construct a scalable, cash-flow generative platform that can sit alongside financial assets as a long-duration, inflation-aware exposure.
The proposed restaurant portfolio is expected to provide diversified exposure across locations, customer segments and cuisine types, with an emphasis on defensible unit economics, recurring local demand and disciplined cost structures. The focus is on platforms with the potential for operating leverage, brand extension and format replication.
Alongside the restaurant platform, the 2026 plan contemplates the acquisition of a single hotel asset, providing real-asset backed cash flows with embedded optionality around refurbishment, repositioning and branding. The hotel is intended to function as an anchor asset within the hospitality sleeve of the portfolio, with underwriting focused on sustainable EBITDA and downside protection.
The hospitality footprint is expected to be complemented by a portfolio of branded products – ranging from packaged goods to potential digital or experiential offerings – designed to extend unit-level economics beyond the four walls of each location. The intent is to create a vertically integrated, margin-accretive revenue stream that can benefit from the customer traffic of the core hospitality assets.
All potential acquisitions remain subject to valuation work, financial and operational due diligence, financing conditions and applicable regulatory approvals. The 2026 portfolio programme is illustrative of the type of real-economy exposure Maniacal Securities & Investments Bermuda intends to pursue as part of its broader, long-term capital deployment roadmap.
Maniacal Securities & Investments Bermuda is being built as a Black-owned corporate platform that seeks not only to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns, but also to contribute to closing opportunity gaps, supporting the climate transition and improving the safety and fairness of how capital markets interact with Black communities globally.
Over time, we intend to allocate capital to businesses and real-economy platforms that are positioned to create sustainable jobs and upskilling pathways – particularly in communities where unemployment and under-employment remain structurally high. The objective is to back operating models that link financial performance to measurable improvements in employment, training and local economic resilience.
We recognise that long-horizon investors cannot ignore climate risk. As the platform grows, we aim to direct capital toward transition-enabling assets – from energy efficiency and resilient infrastructure to lower-carbon business models – while integrating climate risk into underwriting and scenario analysis. The intent is to support decarbonisation pathways that are economically viable and socially responsible.
As a proud Black-owned corporate platform, we intend to build a structured research agenda around how Black investors, entrepreneurs and communities interact with capital markets – including access to products, pricing, risk disclosure and outcomes. The goal is to identify where structures may be unfair or unsafe, and to advocate for practices, products and policies that protect and empower Black participants while remaining inclusive of all backgrounds.
These impact ambitions do not replace our fiduciary responsibilities to investors; they inform how we design, underwrite and steward capital. The aim is a globally relevant corporate platform where performance, protection and progress are considered together rather than in isolation.
