Overview
Georg von Opel established Hansa as the vehicle for family wealth management. The office operates from St. Moritz with a mandate centered on long-term capital preservation and appreciation. Hansa deploys across public equities, private equity, real estate, hedge funds, natural resources, and insurance-linked strategies. Confirmed holdings include St Martin Tower in Frankfurt, residential assets in London and Hampshire, a Majorca villa, and Engadine properties in Switzerland. The firm also maintains positions in art through Galerie von Opel and Westerberg Race Horses. Allocations reach growth-stage companies and extend to Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, and South America. The team includes Chair Lucia Waldner and long-term associate Gustav Stenbolt. Additional vehicles comprise The Georg and Emily von Opel Foundation. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Hansa maintains a hybrid structure that combines direct ownership of operating assets with external fund commitments, allowing the family to retain control over real estate and collectibles while accessing third-party managers in venture and private equity.
