Hauck & Aufhauser Asset Management Services

Hauck & Aufhauser Asset Management Services

Hauck & Aufhauser Asset Management Services operates as the investment management division of Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe, a private bank founded in 1796. The bank's lineage reaches back to the 18th century, making it a fixture in German and European wealth management, though the wealth origin of its underlying client base remains undisclosed in public filings. The firm's strategy spans multiple asset classes, including private credit, hedge funds, and real estate, with a focus on direct investments, co-investments, and secondaries across stages from seed to growth. Known portfolio exposures include European infrastructure and energy transition assets. Geographic concentration is on Germany and the broader European Union. Altss estimates AUM at approximately $13B (as of 2026). The firm does not publicly disclose team size or additional offices beyond its Frankfurt headquarters. Adjacent vehicles include the private bank's broader wealth advisory and trust services, which cater to HNW individuals and institutions. No recent operational events (last 24 months) have been publicly reported. The firm's structural differentiator lies in its hybrid model: an asset manager operating within a 200-year-old private bank, combining long-term balance sheet capital with co-investment and secondaries capabilities — a relatively rare mandate among German private banks, which typically focus on advisory and fund-of-funds allocation.
