its business with institutional investors
Asset management company Altira AG (Altira Group) has appointed Matthias
Graat to its Management Board with responsibility for customer service,
marketing and sales. Besides overall responsibility for customer service,
Matthias Graat's main role, beginning 1 June 2012, will be to personally
look after institutional investors including pension funds, insurance
companies, occupational pension schemes and family offices. This new
appointment to the Altira board underscores the importance of its business
with institutional investors. A series of renowned professional investors
has already joined the Group as partners - as illustrated by the recent
placement of a solar fund with equity of EUR 118.5 million in the German
insurance sector.
Matthias Graat has more than 25 years of experience in managing and
advising domestic and international investors. Most recently he was
co-founder and managing partner of private equity company Triginta Capital,
where he was responsible for management and advising for international
investors as well as establishing and expanding strategic joint ventures
and partnerships. Before that he was partner at a private bank focusing on
medium-sized companies, where his responsibilities included the acquisition
and integration of another bank. That followed a number of senior posts at
banks such as Bankgesellschaft Berlin (now LBB), HSBC Trinkaus as well as
at Deutsche Bank.
'Matthias Graat has a proven track record in dealing with institutional
investors, particularly when it comes to alternative asset classes. His
experience and excellent network will help us to improve our positioning in
the market even more. His appointment once again puts customer service and
sales among our top priorities,' says David Zimmer, CEO of Altira Group.
Matthias Graat will be taking over some of his responsibilities from Oliver
Brandt, who until recently ran Altira Advisory GmbH as its managing
director and is leaving the company at his own request effective 31 March
2012. He will continue to be available on a consultancy basis until
Matthias Graat takes up his post. David Zimmer: 'We are sorry that Oliver
Brandt is leaving us and thank him for his work in extending our
institutional business. We wish him all the best in his future career.'
