Kontora Family Office

Kontora Family Office is a multi-family office based in Hamburg, Germany, specializing in integrated wealth management for affluent families, single-family offices, and non-profit organizations. The firm provides comprehensive services including strategic advice, investment screening, and ongoing monitoring and management of assets. Their approach emphasizes understanding wealth to enable informed decision-making for their clients, aiming for long-term growth and safeguarding assets.

Founded in 2006, Kontora was established to address the scarcity of multi-family offices in Germany, despite a significant number of entrepreneurial families requiring sophisticated wealth management solutions. The firm positions itself as the architect of complex asset structures, offering consultancy on strategic asset allocation, identifying attractive investment opportunities both domestically and internationally, and providing detailed financial reporting. Kontora's philosophy is influenced by models like Swensen's Yale Model, advocating for a diversified investment strategy that includes both liquid and illiquid options.

The firm's investment office focuses on delivering outstanding results through resilient portfolios, emphasizing true diversification across various asset classes. Kontora provides clients with access to highly sought-after private equity, venture capital, real estate projects, and other alternative investments that often have restricted access. They also manage administrative tasks, from documenting assets to financial reporting, making complex asset management more efficient for their clients.

Kontora's team comprises diverse experts across client advisory, investment, infrastructure, and corporate functions. The management team, including Stephan Buchwald, Dr. Patrick Maurenbrecher, and Sybille Arnegger, combines holistic advice with investment expertise. The firm values a human-centric approach, believing that understanding clients' goals and aspirations is crucial for protecting and growing their wealth across generations. In March 2025, Kontora Family Office was acquired by AlTi Tiedemann Global, marking AlTi's entry into the German market and expanding Kontora's global capabilities.
