The Team

A team that strives to be contrarian by staying small

François Sicart, Patsy Jaganath,

 and Allen Huang

We are a boutique operation. We have no sales force and no business agenda. We have no corporate parent imposing short-term goals and quotas. Our overriding motivation is to succeed by serving our clients well.

The team consists of five members, including three founding partners of Sicart Associates.
