WHO IS PHOSPHOR
THE FOUNDERS
The Founders of Phosphor come from the world of financial management and the world of entrepreneurship.

Dr. Friedrich Michael Seegy
After completing his studies in the pharmaceutical field at the University of Pavia, he acquired a deep knowledge, first in the pharmaceutical research sector and then in the sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients. In 1979, he embarked on his entrepreneurial career, and after ten years of commercial activity in the pharmaceutical sector within the then European Community, he set up a company specializing in pharmaceutical logistics in Poland. Another ten years later, the company is listed on the Warsaw stock exchange through an IPO, and then it has been sold. Among other initiatives, he co-founded a generic drug company in Poland, which was sold 20 years after its founding. Currently, he has retired to private life.
WHEN AND HOW EVERYTHING BEGAN
Like all the stories even Phosphor has a beginning. The 1998 is the year that seals the principle of a strong bond between mr Valsangiacomo, that in this narrative plays the role of the asset manager, and mr Seegy, the Client. This relationship begins as a profitable business relationship an then transforms in a true friendship based on trust since the beginning. It is this value that laid the foundaments of the philosophy that led the foundation of Phosphor together with the results of the management. These aspects have contributed to the entrepreneur’s desire to collaborate with the asset manager in the creation of a company specialized in providing a service that would respond, in a flexible and clear manner, to the needs of many other savers and investors similar to him. The focus is on the client; the objective is to satisfy his needs by trying, in a transparent manner, to eliminate conflicts of interest or, where this is not possible, to resolve them in his favor.
OUR PHILOSOPHY: TRANSPARENCY AND TRUST
The company name, inspired by Greek mythology’s Phōsphòros, personifying light, embodies our guiding philosophy: to prioritize the Clients’ reassurance by illuminating doubts and needs, placing their interest first. Phosphor’s mission is to assist the Clients in asset allocation and investment decisions with a fully understandable, tailor-made strategy, resolving any possible conflicts of interest in their favor.
Along with its name, Phosphor’s emblem “Towards Light,” a sculpture by the esteemed artist Venia Dimitrakopoulou, enclosed the essence of the company’s mission. “Towards Light” signifies the triumph of persistence and the pursuit of clarity, so too do these values underpin Phosphor Asset Management’s approach to the relationship with the Clients and they are what allowed Phosphor to maintain these longstanding relationships even in moments of financial hardship.
At Phosphor, “Towards Light” isn’t just a sculpture; it’s a promise. A promise to relentlessly pursue transparency, uphold trust, showcasing unwavering commitment to the Client’s financial well-being.
