My name is Ivana Gosevac and I am the founder of Algora.

After many years working in the financial industry, I founded Algora in 2024 to bring my broad and versatile experience directly to clients. Algora is a boutique firm dedicated to delivering tailored solutions in investment management, consulting, and financial advisory. My approach is rooted in rigorous analysis, strategic thinking, and a commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes tailored to each client’s needs. Recent projects include developing active asset allocation models, analyzing global macroeconomic risks, assisting in regulatory transition and advising on a company valuation.

Experience

I have over 15 years of experience in investment management, financial consulting and company / asset valuation, at leading asset managers and advisory firms. My expertise covers a wide range of asset classes within investment management and industries in the corporate finance advisory area.

As Co-CIO and Senior Portfolio Manager at Ostrica Vermogensbeheer, I co-led strategic and tactical asset allocation decisions for EUR 800 million in assets under management. In this role, I developed economic models, crafted investment strategies across asset classes and managed a team of portfolio managers to achieve attractive returns for the investment funds and client portfolios.

Prior to that, I spent seven years at NN Investment Partners (now Goldman Sachs Asset Management), where I managed approximately EUR 25 billion in pension fund and insurance assets. I specialized in liability-driven investment (LDI) solutions, designing innovative strategies for interest rate and inflation hedging. I also developed bespoke tools, such as the “LDI tuner,” to help pension consultants and clients optimize their strategies, and published research that received industry recognition.

My career began in corporate finance with Duff & Phelps (now Kroll), where I conducted valuations for private equity portfolios and companies, strategic company transactions, and tax structuring purposes. Prior to joining Duff & Phelps, I was a Super Quant intern at the Quantitative Strategies department at Robeco Investment Management where I completed my master thesis in predicting equity returns.

Throughout my career, I have combined quantitative expertise with a deep understanding of market dynamics, delivering solutions for pension funds, institutional investors, small and large companies and private wealth clients. I am a CFA charterholder, I hold MSc in Investment Analysis (cum laude) degree from Tilburg University and a BA in Business Studies - Finance and Accounting (First-Class Honours) degree from Sheffield University.

Next to my passion for financial markets, I spend my free time playing tennis, practicing pilates, creating photos and paintings. I live in Amstelveen with my husband Michiel and our dog Ollie.
