FERI is a byword for comprehensive, individual, transparent and sustainable advice and support for private clients. With over 30 years of experience, we offer private investors a wide range of asset management services.
For us, your requirements and needs are the basis for planning and optimising your asset structure. We always keep an eye on all legal and tax aspects and try to bring about improvements for you. As we work strategically on a long-term basis, we place a strong focus on comprehensive future and succession planning. Foundation consulting is also part of our strategic asset structuring.
The FERI family office is the strategy advisor for your assets. We offer services ranging from strategic asset planning, implementation consulting and results monitoring and controls, through risk management and asset protection strategies to sustainability consulting.
With the help of an asset liability management study, FERI can show you whether a financing system in its current form is sustainable and whether sufficient risk carriers are available or whether a modification of the system is advisable.
During the transition to a sustainable future, FERI guides and supports you in the implementation of a sustainability concept and in the implementation and further development of existing solutions.
FERI’s comprehensive support ranges from optimal asset allocation and investment planning to appointing managers, reporting, monitoring and controls. Clear structures always ensure well-documented decisions and transparent investments.
FERI carries out a cost check in three steps and determines the costs for mandates, depositaries and investment management. In times of persistently low interest rates, these are a key factor in the performance of any portfolio.
FERI uses the three-step manager check to assess the quality and performance of asset managers.
FERI evaluates current portfolios in terms of expected returns and risk and checks whether the allocation still meets the requirements regarding yield and available risk budget. In addition, FERI presents you with alternative portfolios that promise higher returns with the same risk or offer similar opportunities for returns with reduced risk.
To ensure the success of the investment, FERI provides guidance on risk management processes. These range from the preparation of a risk manual and risk inventory to regular reporting and commentary.
In order to identify the risk sources and their distribution in the portfolio of an investment, FERI prepares a risk sheet, which makes this information transparent and clear. It clearly shows what share of the overall risk is attributable to the individual investment funds, segments and asset classes.
FERI offers its clients the entire process of investment consulting and has continuously developed it since the 1990s. Thanks to our extensive experience, self-developed research and analysing tools and the access to around 250 employees in all areas of the investment process, we create significant added value for our clients through our range of consulting services.

  • FERI Investment Management strengthens competencies in the areas of alternatives and traditional investments
  • Interface function between investment management and advisory units is expanded
  • Expansion of range of multi-asset investment solutions

The multi-asset investment company FERI has strengthened its investment management team with two new directors as part of its structural development.

Nicole Grützmacher has been a Director at FERI since the 2nd quarter of 2024. In her new role as Senior Alternative Investment Specialist, she will expand innovative investment solutions in the alternatives sector in an advisory and creative capacity. She structures the customized interaction between client needs, product management and advisors. With over 25 years of experience, including at BNP Paribas, Harald Quandt Capital and Bethmann Bank, she brings extensive expertise in private markets, private equity, real estate and infrastructure to the field of alternative investments.

Nikolaos Soumelidis, CFA, also joined FERI in the 2nd quarter as Director and Senior Portfolio Manager Multi Asset in the Traditional Investments division to drive the expansion of single stock-based equity portfolios. Soumelidis was most recently Senior Portfolio Manager and Co-Head Sustainable Equity Mandates at BNP Paribas S.A., where he managed individual portfolios for foundations, UHNW clients and family offices. Prior to joining BNP Paribas, he held senior positions at ODDO BHF Trust GmbH and BHF Trust GmbH.

"The expansion of our investment management team is a further milestone in order to meet the sustainable growth in the individual asset classes. The two experts will enable us to offer our clients even more targeted and excellent investment solutions,” explains Dr. Marcel V. Lähn, Chief Investment Officer of the FERI Group.

The investment management team is both the engine room and the heart of FERI's multi-asset investment strategies.

"We are looking forward to working with Nicole Grützmacher and Nikolaos Soumelidis. As proven investment specialists, their expertise will greatly help us to verify and expand our portfolio of innovative investment solutions,” adds Carsten Hermann, Head of Asset Management.
