August 09, 2016

Dr. Burkhard Poschadel (70) has retired as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Prime Capital AG by the end of July. The former CEO & Vice Chairman of GAM, one of the leading alternative investment companies worldwide, has accompanied Prime Capital AG since its beginning in March 2006 and has shaped the company’s set-up significantly. “With Burkhard Poschadel I had an experienced consultant and dedicated strategist on my side since founding Prime Capital. He has provided valuable input in defining the company’s strategy and in expanding individual divisions. For his commitment and wise advice I thank him by heart”, said company founder and CEO Wolfgang Stolz.

At the same time, Alfred Möckel (59) takes over the role as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. The founder and former CEO of Consors Capital Bank AG, former Board member at Consors Discount Broker AG, BHF Bank, Morgan Stanley Bank AG, as well as former Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Frankfurt Trust and supervisory board member of Deutsche Börse AG has been a member of the Supervisory Board of Prime Capital AG since 2007. In addition to his duties at Prime Capital AG Mr. Möckel is since 2004 a “business angel” and also permanent expert in the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, with a focus on growth areas.

Dr. Andreas Sauer (53) completes from August 2016 onwards the Supervisory Board. The former founder, CEO and CIO of today’s Quoniam Asset Management, manages his own investment boutique since 2013 and is also a lecturer at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) for asset management and quantitative portfolio management. “Dr. Andreas Sauer is an acknowledged expert in portfolio management, quantitative research and product development and has an extensive network in Germany, Europe and abroad. He is therefore an ideal consultant for the further development of our asset management business, especially in the areas of Absolute Return strategies and Liquid Alternatives, which is one of our core areas. We have intensified our efforts in the segment of liquid Absolute Return strategies in recent years, have set up investment funds and have thus achieved an innovative extension to our traditional hedge fund strategies”, explains Wolfgang Stolz.

He worked previously as Divisional Board Member of Deutsche Bank and Chairman of the Management Board of DB Investor, Executive Vice President of EON AG as well as in different positions in the industry, consulting firms and auditing companies.
