a·qui·la

[ˈaːkvila] lat. eagle, the (noun.)

Aquila is the Latin word for eagle. The eagle stands for sharp eyes, agility, and a unique perspective from above. These traits are essential for an investment company like us - recognition of the long-term trends, active management of return and risk, as well as flexibility and speed. All in all, great features which our founders want to adapt.

The rotor, our symbol, is in fact the most abstract picture of an eagle.
