Berenberg is a privately owned, Hamburg based multi-national financial service group, with a 430 year history of independence. The autonomous and relatively new Asset Management division has become a core focus of the business following the hire of Matthias Born and Peter Kraus from Allianz Global Investors in October 2017. These veteran investors were responsible for building the firm’s Growth Equity franchise over more than 15 years and managed flagship European Growth and European Small Cap strategies. Since joining, Born has cherry picked some of the best talents from the industry to form an equity team that works hand in hand with a dedicated ESG team to deliver integrated quality growth portfolios across European & Global large and small cap.
