What Is the Dormant Company Acquisition Pattern?
The term "dormant company acquisition pattern" describes a documented feature of the Corinth Group's Swiss corporate structure: five of the six Swiss AGs were pre-existing dormant companies that were acquired and renamed, rather than purpose-built entities incorporated specifically for the Corinth Group. This pattern is documented in the Swiss commercial register through sequential name change entries. [Source: Swiss Commercial Register, Zefix]
Documented Name Changes
The Swiss commercial register records the following name chains:
- Corinth Investment Holdings AG (CHE-102.223.770): formerly Photo Max Wagner AG → Centra Investment AG → current name
- Corinth Management Services AG (CHE-103.982.016): formerly Mario Poltera Architekturburo AG → Rhea Investments AG → current name
- C-Capital Group AG (CHE-108.684.891): formerly CCG Curatio Capital Group AG (renamed April 2025)
- C-Software Solutions AG (CHE-101.372.769): formerly Raytrad AG
- Corinth Investments AG (CHE-114.816.959): formerly Gabari SA
These name changes are verifiable in the Zefix online database and the cantonal commercial registers. [Source: Zefix, Swiss Commercial Register]
Why This Pattern Is Significant
Acquiring dormant companies and renaming them is a legal corporate practice in Switzerland. However, several aspects of this pattern are relevant to the investigation: First, the original companies had entirely different business purposes (photography, architecture, software) unrelated to investment management. Second, the renaming creates an appearance of corporate longevity — a company with a CHE number that was registered years ago appears older than it actually is in its current form. Third, the same pattern is replicated across multiple entities at the same address with the same sole signatory. Fourth, the UK entities show a parallel pattern: companies originally incorporated on 19 May 2019 under names like "JMA DLI Investment Holdings" and "JMA AG Investment Holdings" were batch-renamed to "Three Tuns" branded names.

Comparison with UK Entities
In the UK, a similar batch-renaming pattern is documented: multiple companies were incorporated on exactly the same date (19 May 2019) and subsequently renamed from their original "JMA" and other names to "Three Tuns" branded names. This parallel between the Swiss dormant company acquisitions and the UK batch incorporations/renamings is a structural feature documented across both jurisdictions. [Source: Companies House]
