With the human touch.
People whose jobs focus on values, appreciate the human touch all the more. Whether it’s how we interact as a team, with service providers, business partners, colleagues – and, of course, with our clients.
We’re aiming for the best results.
We grow assets by keeping a cool head and having a clear plan. But we’re also aware that personal interaction is pivotal to any good partnership. We bring our expertise to the table when we meet clients for the first time, allocate their assets or manage their wealth. But not just that. We want to understand who we’re dealing with. So that we create enduring bonds across generations.

We’re entrepreneurs who serve other entrepreneurs. Directors Stephan Buchwald, Dr Patrick Maurenbrecher, Henning Landsiedel and Florian Hoffmann blend holistic advice with investment expertise and operational excellence.

Kontora Advisory Board
Our advisory board, established in 2022, advises the Kontora management on strategic issues and brings external impulses into the company.

Hard work and passion are the cornerstones of wealth. And we respect that.
We can only protect a life’s work by understanding the goals, dreams and wishes of our clients. And help them create new opportunities. Which is why soft skills, like understanding people, are just as important as expertise.
It’s an understanding of people that fosters interaction in the first place.
To us, it’s important to get to know our clients. We see them as individuals and don’t offer off-the-peg solutions. Because even 15 years on, we’re always eager to discover the challenges awaiting us before we meet a new client for the first time.
Charta of Diversity
In July 2020, we signed the Charta of Diversity to highlight our commitment to this issue. We’re proud to have people with different backgrounds, experience, and ideologies on our team.
