Quadriga was a completely new sponsor for the Minardi team. It first appeared in the 2001-2002 season when Minardi scored two points through a fifth place by Mark Webber. Quadriga started to sponsor Minardi on the 20th June 2002 when Quadriga was announced to become a new financial/commercial partner of the team. "In the world of investing, the hedge fund industry is surely considered the premier class, just as Formula One is considered the pinnacle when it comes to motor racing," observes company founder and CEO, Christian Baha. "Through our partnership with Minardi, we now aim for pole position in one of the fastest emerging hedge fund markets in the world. We will go full speed into Asia and Australia, with the strength of the Minardi name and the popularity of Mark Webber and Alex Yoong supporting the company's expansion into these regions starting in the summer of 2002."
KL Minardi Asiatech Team Principal, Paul Stoddart, is equally enthusiastic about the potential of the new partnership. "The Quadriga Hedge Funds already have a strong presence in their home market, but the Minardi team will help to establish the brand name in South East Asia," he comments. "These are both young companies driven by an ambition to succeed and a desire to do things a little differently from the competition. We look forward to carrying Quadriga's distinctive green and white 'bull' logo on our cars and to tasting joint success in the future."
Quadriga is an Austrian company with a capital of more than US$200 million and is one of Europe's leading investment groups, offering institutions and private investors alike access to the dynamic world of hedge funds. Quadriga was founded in 1995 by Christian Baha and nowadays employs a fully automated trading system that executes transactions on all international and futures exchanges in the United States, Europe and Asia.
