Realcap was born from a deep understanding of the challenges people face in building and preserving wealth across generations. Our founder, Andres Chocron, has a unique perspective shaped by his family's history. His grandfather emigrated from Oujda, Morocco, during the pogroms against Jews, losing their property and wealth. In Venezuela, the family rebuilt their prosperity, with Andres' father establishing a successful company and acquiring properties. However, the rise of populism and the erosion of liberties under the Chavez-Maduro regime forced the family to relocate to their ancestral homeland of Spain, settling in Barcelona. Once again, they witnessed their hard-earned wealth vanish as the political situation in Venezuela deteriorated.

 

This experience, a recurring theme across generations of Andres' family, ignited a passion to understand the dynamics of wealth creation and preservation. He pursued his studies in Economics in Barcelona, and his journey took him to live and work in Spain, Colombia, the USA, and Israel. Finally, in 2023, he settled with his family in Zurich, Switzerland. Obsessed with deciphering the strategies families use to build and safeguard their wealth through changing economic and political climates, Andres recognized Switzerland as the ideal place to establish Realcap. It was here, surrounded by a tradition of financial stability and long-term thinking, that he set out to help others navigate the complexities of wealth management and build a more secure financial future.
