Roman Scott's Company

Calamander Group Calamander Group originated as a London based family office in 1997 focused on real estate. It corporatised in 2006. The Calamander Group’s real estate unit has consistently outperformed the large institutional real estate funds typically on offer to investors. It presently manages assets in Singapore, London, and Sri Lanka with a twelve year track record of over 60% annual IRR’s, and has recently partnered with the real estate investment unit of one of the world’s top banks for its Singapore real estate interests. The Group specializes in smaller historic properties in city centre business districts that require conservation expertise, and that produce superior returns.

Calamander Capital provides emerging markets private equity funds in niches where the firm and its partners have unique domain expertise. These include the world’s first Sri Lanka country fund, an emerging Asia bank fund, and the world’s first emerging markets art fund. Such esoteric asset classes provide arbitrage opportunities in smaller, less competed markets, and thus provide higher returns with lower risk. Our minimum target returns are not less than twenty five percent annualized for all asset classes we directly manage.
