PYN Fund Management Ltd is an independent, management-owned Finnish fund manager.

Established to manage the PYN Elite Fund, which began operations on February 1, 1999, we do not aim to be a comprehensive asset manager or a fund house. Our goal is to offer investors our unique investment expertise.

We focus on one investment strategy and dive deeply and actively into the stock markets in which we invest. This approach has proven successful for us over the past 24 years.
