Auretas Family Trust
Auretas Family Trust was created in 2005 when Spudy & Co. merged with Döttinger/Straubinger. Capital originates from several German entrepreneurial families with holdings in industrial and consumer businesses. The firm provides discretionary asset management, consolidated reporting and family governance services to families, foundations and corporations. Investment activity spans liquid alternatives, private equity fund commitments and direct holdings. Confirmed positions include shares of KKR and Blackstone acquired from 2018 onward as part of a liquid private markets strategy. Additional commitments cover CROWN Premium Private Equity III and Beijing SME Venture Capital Fund of Funds. Geographic reach includes Germany, other European markets, North America and Asia. The firm also maintains real estate exposure through leasehold offices in Hamburg and Munich. The team comprises managing partners Randolph Kempcke, Peer Otten and Britta Weidenbach as CIO. Additional offices operate in Munich. In December 2024 Auretas received the ELITE der Family Offices award from Elite Report and Handelsblatt at the 22. Vermögenskonvent in Salzburg. The firm belongs to Verband unabhängiger Vermögensverwalter Deutschland and participates in the European Multi-Family Office Symposium. Auretas operates through a holding structure that includes Auretas Alternative Assets GmbH and Auretas Beteiligungstreuhand GmbH. This architecture separates client mandates from proprietary vehicles and allows the firm to act as both advisor and co-investor alongside external managers.
