A doge is an elected chief of state lordship, the ruler of the Republic in many of the Italian city states during the medieval and renaissance periods, in the Italian "crowned republics".
The word is from a Venetian word that descends from the Latin dux (as do the English duke and the standard Italian duce and duca), meaning "leader", especially in a military context. The wife of a doge is styled a dogaressa. [1]
Our investment strategy prioritizes both growth and income, emphasizing a long-term approach rather than quick turnovers or market timing. Historically, we’ve achieved solid returns of 10-15% solely through cash flow, with our assets typically doubling in value every five years.
