Germany's largest independent wealth manager with multi-asset investment focus
Flossbach von Storch is Germany's largest independent wealth manager, built on founder-led ownership since 1998 and now scaling through deliberate digitalization. The tech stack (Aladdin, Bloomberg, Power Platform, SQL) reflects a traditional asset-management foundation, while active projects around digital wealth management, process automation, and platform architecture signal a shift toward modernized operations. Accelerating hiring across engineering, design, and product roles—alongside pain-point focus on business digitalization and scalable processes—indicates the firm is moving beyond legacy systems toward tech-enabled growth.
Flossbach von Storch manages assets for high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients, specializing in multi-asset strategies and alternative investment analysis. Founded in Cologne in 1998 by Bert Flossbach and Kurt von Storch, the firm remains owner-managed and has grown to lead the independent wealth-management market in Germany. In 2014, the company established its own research institute to investigate macroeconomic and monetary-policy themes, deepening its analytical capability. The organization operates across portfolio management, fund administration, client acquisition, and internal operations, with current growth initiatives focused on digital communication, wealth-management platform development, and enterprise modernization.
Primary tools include Aladdin, Bloomberg, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, SQL, Excel, SharePoint, and Adobe Creative Suite. GitHub Copilot is in use for development workflows.
