About our name

Our firm derives its name from the Galápagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean. It was the careful, methodical and detailed study of the islands’ extraordinary flora and fauna that led Charles Darwin, unhampered by preconceived ideas and unafraid of challenging the prevailing wisdom of his day, to express the notion that in a fiercely competitive setting neither strength nor intelligence are the key to the survival of a species but, rather, their ability to adapt to constant changes in their environment.

Intense competition is not the province of nature alone; the same degree of competitiveness is found in our global economy. Emulating Darwin, we at Galápagos Advisors believe that the ability to adapt to an ever-changing environment is the key to survival and success in business and in the economy.

Just as Darwin did in the Galápagos Islands, we carefully study our surroundings and seek to learn from such study. Like Darwin, we are independent thinkers; we do not follow the crowd; we are neither captive to preconceived ideas nor afraid of challenging conventional wisdom.

Our aim is to enable our clients to adapt to changes in their financial environment so they can pursue their dreams and ambitions unencumbered by fear of the unexpected. We focus entirely on meeting their needs at the lowest possible level of risk through a personalized and impartial approach to the accumulation, preservation, enjoyment, and eventual disposition of their wealth.
