MG-Trust
MG-Trust was founded in 2019 by Mathias Reinhold Giebken, who serves as Managing Director alongside Hannes Lucas Ressel. The firm manages generational wealth for its founding family from a single location in Bad Nauheim, Germany. Beyond its two managing directors, Jan Hofmann holds signatory authority across MG-Trust and its real-asset subsidiary, MG Grundbesitz GmbH. The firm runs a deliberately unbounded investment mandate. Asset-class commitments stretch across private equity, real estate, private credit, secondaries, infrastructure, and sports and esports franchises, with additional public-markets exposure. Confirmed direct investments and co-investor relationships include syndicate participation in Matador Secondary Private Equity AG alongside Dr. Florian Dillinger, and ownership of a commercial real estate project at Kaiserstraße 169 in Germany. Geographic reach extends to Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa, Oceania, and the Middle East and Central Asia — a footprint unusual for a family office of MG-Trust's age and size. Operational entities anchored to the MG-Trust umbrella include MG Grundbesitz GmbH, which holds a mixed-use property portfolio in Bad Nauheim, and MG-Vermögensverwaltungs GmbH & Co. KG, a parallel wealth-management vehicle. Philanthropic activity flows through the Jugendförderverein Neu-Anspach, a youth-development foundation. MG-Trust's architecture is notably lean: a small leadership trio directs a global, unrestricted mandate without public performance reporting, external marketing, or a LinkedIn presence.

Frequently asked questions
Is MG-Trust structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
MG-Trust is a single-family office that manages the founding family's consolidated wealth. Unlike a venture firm, it does not raise external capital or charge management fees. Its investment scope, however, extends well beyond traditional preservation mandates into early-stage technology, esports, and secondaries — a posture that blends family-office capital with venture-style risk appetite.
How is MG-Trust related to MG Grundbesitz GmbH and MG-Vermögensverwaltungs GmbH & Co. KG?
MG Grundbesitz GmbH is a wholly owned real-asset subsidiary that holds a mixed-use property portfolio in Bad Nauheim and a commercial development at Kaiserstraße 169. MG-Vermögensverwaltungs GmbH & Co. KG is a separate wealth-management entity under the same family control. Jan Hofmann's signatory authority extends across both MG-Trust and MG Grundbesitz GmbH, linking the operating structure to the central office.
