Systematic implementation of the 2019+ strategy

With the acquisition of Lange Assets & Consulting GmbH, Lloyd Fonds AG is building up its expertise in asset management for wealthy clients as part of the implementation of its 2019+ strategy. LF Assets, the third pillar of the new business model, entails classic product offerings for family offices as well as for private wealthy clients and institutional investors.

Achim Plate, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Lloyd Fonds AG: "I am delighted that we have been able to gain in Thomas Lange and his team. They are experienced asset managers who enjoy a first-class reputation in the industry. As asset managers, we will thus be offering a unique range of services in a dynamic and competitive environment moving forward: Lloyd Fonds retail funds with active asset management, digital portfolio management and individual, direct asset management for private wealthy and institutional clients, as well as for family offices."

Thomas Lange, Managing Partner of Lange Assets & Consulting GmbH, is also convinced of the prospects offered by Lloyd Fonds AG 2019+ strategy: "The fact that we have to change became clear to me with the implementation of the last MiFiD II reform, if not before. I am all the happier that we have been able to find a Hamburg-based solution for our future and will be backed by such a strong team. Looking forward, I will be able to do what I enjoy most, namely attending to my clients' needs and working on ASSETS Defensive Opportunities UI." John Jahr, shareholder of Lange Assets Consulting GmbH: "With this step, the shareholders see the foundations laid for a highly diversified partnership with Lloyd Fonds AG in the future".

Assets under management forecast achieved for LF Assets

Looking forward, growth in assets under management is to be the key driving force for Lloyd Fonds AG's earnings. As reported at the 2018 annual general meeting, the company projects assets under management of more than EUR 1 billion - combined in LF Line and LF System - plus more than EUR 0.2 billion in LF Assets in 2019. Klaus M. Pinter, CFO of Lloyd Fonds AG: "The acquisition of Lange Assets & Consulting, which has total assets of around EUR 350 million under management, will allow us to achieve our predicted target in the segment LF Assets in 2019. I am looking forward to working with Thomas Lange and his team."

Money-market oriented fund to become part of the Lloyd Fonds retail funds

The money-market oriented ASSETS Defensive Opportunities UI fund, which will also be managed through Lange Assets & Consulting GmbH in the future, will supplement Lloyd Fonds' own planned actively managed range of retail funds comprising equity, mixed and fixed-income funds. As reported in November, an experienced team of three fund managers has been recruited for this purpose. Effective January 1, 2019, Christian Reindl, Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Maximilian Thaler, CFA, and Dr. Tobias Spies will be strengthening the Hamburg-based asset manager's newly opened Munich office.
