Management

Managing partner and founder of the company is Christian Schuster.

During his earlier career path, he was active in institutional fund marketing but predominantly in asset management. Stations included an Equity Long/Short hedge fund and a fund management company specialized in ETFs. The development of investment strategies, trading in equities and other securities came along with sales activities.

Mr. Schuster has always worked in small- and mid-sized companies, helping to establish one as the first day employee.
