Our namesake is the Alhambra, the Red Fortress, in Granada, Spain. Built on an outcrop of the Sierra Nevada in 1238, the Alhambra was a self-contained city, able to offer long-term refuge for its inhabitants. An enduring symbol of wealth and security, it has served as inspiration for romantic travelers, writers, and artists over hundreds of years. Many of M.C. Escher’s most famous works are tessellations, or repeating patterns, that were inspired by tiles found in the Alhambra.

At Alhambra Investments, our portfolios are designed to exploit the market patterns that have repeated throughout history. Like Escher, we seek balance, to resolve the inevitable tension between growth and preservation of wealth.

Alhambra. A fortress against market storms.
