Quantumrock stands at the forefront of financial innovation, pioneering the integration of gemstones as a professional asset class. In a manner reminiscent of industry giants like State Street, iShares, and BlackRock, who revolutionized the market with the introduction of the first Gold ETFs in the early 2000s, Quantumrock now propels gemstones into the spotlight. With the successful launches of ETFs for Gold (2003), Crude Oil, Silver (2006), Platinum, and Palladium (2010), gemstones could emerge as the next compelling investment frontier. They are characterized by scarcity, immunity to inflation, stability, and a rich history of delivering attractive returns over centuries. Uniquely, gemstones ignite passion among investors. • Identified and qualified potential leads, including Institutional Investors, mFO, and HNWI for Rough Gemstones Fund, a core product of Quantumrock. • Collaborated with True Global Ventures to drive business development efforts in the United Arab Emirates.
