Capitell Vermögens-Management AG
Capitell Vermögens-Management AG was founded in 2000 and maintains its headquarters in Frankfurt. It began as equinet Asset Management AG under the equinet-Gruppe until 2010. Daniel Hopp held majority ownership through Privatbank Berlin von 1929 AG before a management buyout in 2016-2017 and retains a significant minority stake. MC Portfolio AG and Westend Bank AG appear as shareholders in 2025 corporate filings. The firm manages portfolios for families and foundations with exposure to equities, fixed income, and private markets. It holds signatory status to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment since March 2023. In 2025 Chris-Oliver Schickentanz addressed a Privatize conference on platform access to private assets. Geographic reach centers on Germany with additional European coverage. Confirmed clients include Buhck-Stiftung and Kurt und Ernst Schwitters Stiftung. Capitell employs professionals across eight German offices. It maintains membership in Verband unabhängiger Vermögensverwalter Deutschland and the DVFA. Michael von Korn of the Hannover office serves as president of Rotary Club Calenberg-Pattensen. The firm organized a client factory tour at Aurubis AG in 2019. No philanthropic vehicle separate from client mandates is disclosed. Capitell functions as an independent multi-family office after its 2010 exit from equinet-Gruppe and the later buyout. Governance includes a supervisory board with Dr. Martin Ollendorff, who previously served on the board of Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg. The structure centers on direct advisory relationships rather than pooled fund vehicles.
