Home About Us Cardano Group

The Renaissance man

Girolamo CardanoGirolamo Cardano (1501-1576) was an innovator and one of the most eccentric thinkers of the Renaissance.  He was the very essence of a polymath, making contributions to medicine, philosophy, astronomy, geology, theology and mathematics.

Cardano was best known for his scientific and mathematical discoveries.  Not only did he solve the cubic and quartic equations, he also invented and described mechanical devices including the combination lock, the cardan shaft and the gimbal.

We have a desire to innovate the financial world creating robust solutions in the areas of investment and risk management.

Despite the fact that we live in a world of uncertainty, we can create an environment in which we control our destiny within certain boundaries. Uncertainty is here to stay but we can mitigate the consequences of uncertain events. That was the Renaissance idea, including that of one of its first masters, Girolamo Cardano, and it is also our philosophy.

We measure and minimise our own firm’s carbon emissions. Where we do have emissions, we offset: we are net zero.
