Our Story

Bastion Asset Shield launched in 2016 after our founders watched too many companies get crushed by political events they'd dismissed as unlikely. Started small — just 3 people and a lot of coffee. We spent those early years learning what actually works when governments change course. Built relationships across 23 countries. Tested strategies through elections, sanctions, and upheaval. Today we're 34 people strong, working with clients across five continents. Still lean. Still focused. Still driven by the same conviction: preparation beats panic.
