Bantleon continues to grow and is expanding its management company business in Hanover. Already at the beginning of the year, a team of four specialists for overlay- and capital preservation strategies as well as their respective clients moved to the asset manager while in June the acquisition of a convertible bond manager was announced. Now the Management Company, which, as a Master Management Company, manages around 38 billion euros for institutional clients (AuA), is also to grow further.
From 1 October 2024, the IT division at Bantleon Invest AG will get a dedicated seat at Executive Board level, for which Stefan Krapf has been recruited as a proven specialist. Krapf was Member of the Executive Board of Universal-IT Services GmbH from 2009 to 2023 and during this time actively supported the growth of the company. In addition, Jörg Schubert will join the Executive Board of Bantleon Invest AG on 1 October 2024, taking over the role of the Chairman and focusing on further strengthening customer relations. From 1999 until February 2022, Jörg Schubert was already member of the Executive Board of today’s Bantleon GmbH, responsible for the group-wide relationship management for investors in Germany. Since then, he has been a member of the Supervisory Board of Bantleon AG, Zurich, and most recently also Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Bantleon Invest AG.
The Executive Board of Bantleon Invest AG continues to consist of Caroline Specht, who is responsible for Management Company Services, and Gerd Lückel, who is responsible for the company’s portfolio management. Dr. Harald Preißler, capital market strategist at Bantleon and Vice Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Bantleon AG, Zurich, will take over as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
»Many Master Management Companies are losing their most important asset, customer satisfaction, due to misguided efficiency measures, fluctuation or misguided growth fantasies. We are different,« explains Jörg Bantleon, founder and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Bantleon AG. »Our customers have a personal point of contact who can directly access the entire value chain. This enables us to serve our customers quickly and competently, which has earned us top marks for customer satisfaction for years. By expanding the Executive Board of Bantleon Invest AG, we are ensuring that this remains the case even as we continue to grow. I am also pleased that Dr. Harald Preißler, a recognised capital market specialist, is taking over as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. He is already in contact with many of our customers and will be able to do so much more intensively in his new role.«
