Herodotus, the great philosopher from ancient Greece, five centuries before Christ, said
“The only thing constant is change"
He was right for two-and-half thousand years. But now his quote hast lost its truth. Change is no more constant. Change has started changing. Change accelerates. It even increases exponentially, not only linear.
The way money exercises its control over the economy is one area where we see an unpredictable development and a rapidly accelerating change. The diamond-industry is another area, where the parameters of the past are losing its control over reality. Both put together, a changing landscape of Finance and a changing orientation and poise of the Diamond-Industry, is bound to bring up new forms and structures which will regulate and organise the interaction of these two economic fields.
The Blue Sky Alternatives Investment Fund, with its trading companies in Liechtenstein, Hong Kong and Antwerp is one of the new manifestations emerging in a quickly changing environment.
The Blue Sky Alternatives Concept is to combine a new form of Finance with a top-service inside the Diamond Industry. At the same time it aims at trying to fill part of the vacuum which was left when a monopolized Diamond-Sector opened up and the price-regulation of De Beers disappeared.
Liechtenstein-based Blue Sky Alternatives Trading AG & Co. KG, with its affiliated trading companies in Hong Kong and Antwerp, is a distribution platform for diamonds funded by the Blue Sky Alternatives Fund. The Blue Sky Alternative Fund is the world's first, and currently only investment fund in diamond to be fully regulated under the European AIFM Directive. The concept forms a bridge between the Finance-Industry and the Diamond-Sector and is distributing stones which are financed by Pension Funds, Life Insurances etc., as well as professional Investors. The companies aim at providing top service with many new opportunities, rooted in a novel financial landscape.
The changes all around are taking over and the statement of Paul Valéry from 1937 seems to be more valid then ever:
“The Future is no longer what it used to be"
