Mutavchi Arkadiy: Investor’s Key Projects and Tacticum Investments

In the article hereunder, we will talk about Arkadiy Mutavchi’s career path and his key business and investment initiatives: his corporate career, the first experience in entrepreneurship and investment, beneficial sale of his own business, major and successful investment transactions, and finally Tacticum Investments. We will also bring up the milestones of his biography.

Childhood Years

In January 1970, the investor-to-be Mutavchi Arkadiy was born into a family of legal professionals. Living in Ungheni, he studied in secondary school. The small town where Arkadiy was born was located along the border between the Soviet Union and Romania. It was an unremarkable ordinary settlement, with minimal infrastructure and classic principles of life. Here, Mutavchi Arkadiy spent his childhood.

Adolescent Years

Arkadiy Mutavchi, born and raised in an intelligent family, showed signs of analytical thinking and was interested in learning foreign languages. Having graduated from secondary school, and then having finished his military service, he entered Kaliningrad State Technical University.

When he was a fourteen-year-old teenager, he decided to take his first part-time job as a spare hand in fish husbandry. It is particularly remarkable that his work had absolutely no negative effect on his studies.

Having successfully graduated from school, Arkadiy Mutavchi was conscripted into the armed forces, where he did his duty to the Motherland for two years.

Living in the Capital

In 1992, the Soviet Union collapsed, and Arkadiy Ivanovich, having grasped the opportunities that opened up in post-Soviet Russia, decided to move to Moscow, at that time a major financial center of the former USSR. This decision became the starting point of his career in the financial sector.

For five years, from 1992 to 1997, Arkadiy gained continuous experience in various managerial positions. He took an active part in land property purchasing and established successful imports of goods from the Federal Republic of Germany. In addition, he spent significant time in the manufacturing sector, where he maintained a position of Commercial Director, managing production processes and organizing commercial operations.

The next milestone of his career advancement was work in the metallurgical sector, where he assumed the position of Deputy Director. In this role, he successfully implemented the company’s strategic plans, actively participated in the production management and coordinated business activities with other departments of the enterprise. Further in the article, we will describe this experience in detail.

Higher Education

Arkadiy Ivanovich Mutavchi received two university degrees, as well as a PhD degree:

·    In 2021, Mutavchi became a qualified legal professional, having received his education at the Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

·    In 2004, after studying as a postgraduate student, Mutavchi successfully defended his dissertation for the Candidate degree in the field of jurisprudence. Arkadiy decided to follow in his parents’ footsteps and acquire an appropriate education. In his Candidate’s work, he researched into a very complex topic, for which he had to undertake an in-depth analysis. It is worthwhile to say that Arkadiy Mutavchi, after receiving a higher legal education, decided to change his business occupation and switch to the economics direction.

·    In 2004, without wasting any time, the aspiring investor underwent an additional qualification and became a specialist in the field of economics.

·    In 2015, he successfully defended his second senior thesis, now in a new branch of study, which allowed him to fully immerse himself in a new business activity.

Commitment to Profession

Before devoting all his business time to investments and creating the Tacticum group, he actively tried  himself at many business dimensions. The following can be called the main stages in Arkadiy Mutavchi’s business biography:

Working at the Sijata Enterprise

After successfully completing his military service, Arkadiy Mutavchi wasted no time and started working. He was offered a job at an enterprise which was a joint venture of the USSR and Hungary. There, he held a managerial position. At that time (1990-1991), the enterprise was considered very prestigious. Having got an appointment of a manager, Mutavchi was actively digging into import and export operations.

International Sales

After Sijata, the young specialist decided to accelerate the acquired skills and try his hand at trading, this time at the international level. Having been invited to the Safety company, Arkadiy Mutavchi purposefully focused on imports and worked in this direction for about 2 years.

First Investments

Arkadiy Ivanovich Mutavchi gradually devoted himself to investments. This happened in 1994, and at that time, he established his first investment account, and it was then that he became totally immersed in finance.

In the post-Soviet space of the early 1990s, investment activity was just beginning to emerge. However, the future shareholder of Tacticum Investments managed to see good potential in this.

Successful Partnership

In 1994, Mutavchi Arkadiy found a partner with whom he teamed up to conduct joint activities. Together with the partner, he invested part of his capital in a land parcel. This was an investment that turned out to be seriously successful. Finding investors turned out to be not difficult at all. Relatively soon, the land was sold, and a recreation center was built on it. The first land business added to the investor’s collection of successful projects.

Working with Stalservice

Having gained good experience, Mutavchi kept on going. As recently as in 1995, he reached an agreement to cooperate with a manufacturer and supplier of drilling rigs. In that very organization, the rising investor assumed the position of deputy director for legal issues, and later became a director. In his new position, Arkadiy Mutavchi spent 2 whole years (from 1995 to 1997).

Deputy Director at a Metallurgical Plant

In 1997, Mutavchi Arkadiy was offered one more interesting position. That time, he took the title of a deputy director of the Metal-Impex company. His official duties were to monitor the operation of job-processing contracts. But he did not occupy this position for too long. He who would later become a shareholder of Tacticum Investments decided to start his own business. He had a good job title and salary, but personal development was his major priority. This was precisely the main goal of Mutavchi Arkadiy.

Delving into Personal Business

In 1998, Mutavchi Arkadiy abandoned all his positions and concentrated on developing personal business initiatives. He gradually moved in the chosen direction. The soon-to-be shareholder of Tacticum Investments S.A began his business journey in the late nineties.

Working at Shelda

Mutavchi Arkadiy became the founder of Shelda and occupied the position of General Director there. The enterprise focused on trade in rolled metal products. The future shareholder of Tacticum Investments S.A remained in his new role until 2000.

Working at Profintex

At the beginning of the two thousandth, Mutavchi Arkadiy Ivanovich became interested in petroleum products. He launched a new venture, which turned out to be successful. In 2002, he sold all of his own shares, which allowed the soon-to-be shareholder of Tacticum Investments S.A to accumulate impressive private assets. It became the basis for his future investments.

Vice Presidency at Kungur

Mutavchi Arkadiy Ivanovich was actively gaining proficiency using his accumulated experience. At that moment, he assumed the role of vice president of the company and continued its further development. The promising company was actively developing in various directions. But the 2008 crisis could not but make itself felt. Mutavchi Arkadiy Ivanovich began to think about starting up his own company.

Investor

Having gained the appropriate qualifications, Mutavchi Arkadiy Ivanovich became a professional investor. His intense activity in this direction started in 2014.

In 2015, the aspiring shareholder of Tacticum Investments bought out the management company Trigrad and became its director.

Mutavchi Arkadiy did not work in this direction for too long. He made a profitable deal and bought the company Long Term Investments Luxembourg, which was later rebranded and received the name of Tacticum Investments.

Tacticum Investments

Mutavchi Arkadiy became the main shareholder of Tacticum Investments in 2019. All the skills he had previously acquired, as well as his practical experience, were successfully steered in the right course. This is how his own investment company was born.

However, the situation was not simple; the global COVID19 pandemic had become a test for Tacticum Investments S.A. A number of companies (including Pirelli) in Tacticum Investments’ portfolio were declining in value. Moreover, Pirelli’s decision not to pay dividends further complicated the situation. Therefore, Arkadiy decided to adjust the strategy and having chosen the right moment, advantageously sold part of his assets.

Today, Tacticum Investments S.A. is a thriving company specializing in both portfolio and direct investments.

Tacticum Investments S.A. is actively developing and replenishes with high-class professionals from all over the world.

Personal Life

Despite his complete immersion in the business, Mutavchi Arkadiy is a family man. Together with his wife, he is raising three children. In his free time, he reads and collects rare books.
