Our philosophy

Private banking, without the mahogany.

The private bank model is 200 years old and, in many ways, worth preserving: one person who knows your name, your family, and your goals. We kept that. We removed the opacity, the cross‑selling, and the paper.

01
One broker, for years.
Your advisor is assigned on day one and remains your single point of contact. No call centres, no rotating account managers.
02
Every fee, on the surface.
You see our spread, our custody fee, and your total cost in basis points — on every trade and every monthly statement.
03
German assets, German rules.
Custody at Commerzbank. BaFin supervised. Deposit protection up to €100,000. Fund assets fully segregated from Finaxum.
How it works

Four conversations
from interest to managed.

Most new clients are trading within three weeks. We do not rush the first conversations — the relationship compounds, and so does the cost of mismatch.

I
Introduction
45 minutes, by phone.
You speak with a broker — not a salesperson — about your goals, your current custody, and what is working or not. No paperwork yet.
II
Proposal
Two weeks.
We send a written proposal: asset allocation, risk framework, specific instruments, full cost in basis points, and the name of your assigned broker.
III
Onboarding
Three business days.
Identification via VideoIdent, custody opened at Commerzbank, positions transferred in kind from your existing broker at no cost to you.
IV
Managed
Ongoing.
Quarterly reviews in person or by video, weekly written notes, and a direct line to your broker between 07:00 and 20:00 CET.

They are compensated on client retention, not transaction volume. If your match is wrong, we change it in a week. No charge, no conversation necessary.

Clients, in their own words
“I had four private bankers in twenty years. Hans is the first I have ever telephoned on a Saturday morning, because I wanted to, not because something was wrong.”
Dr. K. — Munich
Client since 2020 · Family tier
The portfolio statement finally reads like a book I can understand. My accountant stopped sending me questions.
T. Weber — Hamburg
Client since 2021 · Private tier
I asked for a position in Rheinmetall in March. By Thursday I had a one‑page memo, the spread quoted to me, and the trade at a single click.
Frau M. — Düsseldorf
Client since 2022 · Foundation tier
They said it would be boring. It is boring. My returns, however, are not.
