By redefining wealth management through innovation and personalisation, Kontora remains at the vanguard of this fast-evolving financial sector


In the vibrant German metropolis of Hamburg, Kontora has emerged as a leading figure in the wealth management sector. Renowned as a pioneering multi-family office, Kontora is committed to surpassing the financial aspirations of high-net-worth individuals, families, foundations, and institutional clients. Leveraging a profound comprehension of their clients’ needs, Kontora extends a broad spectrum of services aimed at transcending the financial objectives and visions of its clientele.

Evolution to a holistic wealth management platform

Originating as a comprehensive family office, and led by founder and Managing Director Stephan Buchwald, Kontora has transformed into a holistic wealth management entity – a testament to its commitment towards innovation and personalised client solutions. Currently, Kontora’s offerings are categorised into three specialised segments: Full-Service Family Office, Investment Office, and Service Office. This structured approach allows Kontora to tailor bespoke solutions catering to the distinct requisites and aims of each client, thereby facilitating highly individualised and efficient wealth management.

The Full-Service Family Office: Setting the standard

At Kontora’s foundation is the Full-Service Family Office, epitomising the zenith of support and counsel in the field of family wealth management. Here, strategic planning and asset management are navigated with unparalleled expertise, establishing a benchmark for industry excellence. This segment ensures that clients receive tailored advice and strategies aimed at safeguarding and enhancing their familial wealth and legacy.

The Investment Office: Expertise in action

The Investment Office showcases Kontora’s prowess in investment management, offering indepth knowledge in strategies across both liquid and illiquid assets, including: Listed Equity, Private Equity, Real Estate, and other Alternative Investments. This office empowers clients with portfolio management services grounded in a proven endowment model, enabling them to achieve stable returns through meticulous market analysis and investment strategy execution.

The Service Office: Streamlining operations for efficiency

Complementing the comprehensive offerings of Kontora is the Service Office, a hub of administrative support, reporting, and operational efficiencies. Clients are afforded a crystal clear overview of their finances, facilitated by world-class software systems, enhancing their ability to effectively manage financial complexities. The outsourcing service, in particular, relieves clients of the operational burdens of asset management, allowing for a focus on strategic wealth accumulation and management tailored to individual needs and objectives.

Innovative outsourcing service: A strategic solution

A key highlight of Kontora’s service spectrum is its innovative outsourcing service, meticulously crafted for single-family offices, foundations, and other asset managers. This bespoke solution addresses the intricate challenges of managing diversified asset portfolios, particularly the hurdles posed by the absence of a unified data source and standardisation issues. Kontora’s outsourcing initiative ensures that these institutions can produce reliable and meaningful reports without necessitating the hiring of specialised staff, the procurement of costly software, or the development of in-house expertise. By managing the entire spectrum of asset management tasks – from data aggregation to analysis and reporting – Kontora guarantees professional and efficient asset management. This service exemplifies Kontora’s forward-thinking approach, offering a robust solution for entities lacking the resources or expertise for internal asset management, therefore enabling them to make informed decisions through Kontora’s extensive experience and expertise.

Ensuring the delivery of customised solutions

Kontora’s relentless pursuit of innovation and dedication to client satisfaction has solidified its position at the vanguard of the industry. By continuously integrating cutting-edge technologies and refining its service portfolio, Kontora stays ahead in the wealth management field. The firm prioritises the long-term prosperity and satisfaction of its clients, ensuring the delivery of customised solutions that meet the dynamic demands of the market.

As the finance landscape continues to evolve, Kontora stands as a steadfast ally in wealth management, navigating clients on every phase of their financial voyage. Through its blend of innovation, deep market insight, unwavering client focus, and strategic outsourcing solutions, Kontora redefines the essence of excellence within the wealth management industry, empowering clients towards a future rich in prosperity and success.
