Vision&, a Zug-based asset manager, hired a Credit Suisse veteran to bolster the trading team after launching its first investment product focusing on the blockchain.

Vision& began its asset consultancy operations in Zug some two months ago, and under the leadership of Lidia Bolla, has launched its first managed investment product, it said in a press release Thursday.

It will offer investments in blockchain projects and startups as it seeks to give investors access to the normally opaque blockchain environment, it said.

To this end it has also strengthened its operative team, with Jan Roth joining as a partner, responsible for sales and trading. Roth previously spent 14 years at Credit Suisse, most recently in the trading and sales derivatives branch. He is a specialist in alternative investments.
