Headquartered in mid-town Manhattan, the Thor Group of Companies (“Thor Group”) is an integrated group of related firms, each providing highly specialized professional financial services to individual and institutional clients worldwide in the areas of asset management, futures and equities trading, financial research, management consulting and corporate finance.

The Thor Group of Companies was born on March 18, 1994, when two New York City securities industry executives Oleg Batratchenko and Peter Kambolin cemented their personal friendship with a joint business venture and established Thor United Corporation – a diversified financial boutique servicing the US and international clients.  Over the years, as the operations of Thor United Corporation expanded, the company began to spin off its core lines of business into separate entities, thus forming the Thor Group of Companies.

In June of 1998, Thor Capital LLC, a FINRA (formerly NASD)-registered full service broker-dealer was established and in March of 1999 became fully operational.  In June of 2000, the Thor Group incorporated Thor Asset Management, Inc., an alternative investment management firm headed from its inception by Dr. Alexei Chekhlov and presently managing two funds: Thor Optima Fund Ltd. (off-shore) and Thor Optima Fund L.P. (US).  Further, in November 2002, the investment banking and corporate finance business of the Group was consolidated into Thor Capital Group, Inc., a subsidiary headed by Roman Livson.  At the same time, a regional representative office of Thor United was opened in Moscow, Russia, with the purpose of marketing Thor Group’s products and services in the CIS countries and organizing semi-annual international financial conferences for leading Russian industrialists, bankers and entrepreneurs. Finally, in 2004, Thor Futures LLC was formed as an introducing broker to facilitate futures trading business for Thor Asset Management Inc.
