Salytic Invest
Salytic Invest was established in 2011 in Cologne as the German arm of the Landert family’s wealth operations. The entity previously operated under the name Landert Family Office Deutschland AG before adopting its current structure. Matthias Jörss became CEO on 1 February 2024, succeeding Dr. Wolfgang Sawazki who remains an advisor. The firm executes through discretionary portfolio management, proprietary fund vehicles and strategic advisory mandates. Asset classes include private equity, private credit, real estate and commodities. Geographic exposure spans Europe, North America and Asia. Supervisory board members bring prior senior roles at Deutsche Bank, Südwestbank and Sal. Oppenheim. The firm signed the UN Principles for Responsible Investment in December 2021. Assets under management stand at $1.73 billion. The firm maintains a single office in Cologne. Matthias Jörss took the CEO role in February 2024. Salytic Invest has received repeated top rankings in Elite Report and Citywire Deutschland assessments. It also participates in the UN Global Compact. Board interlocks with industrial companies such as Maschinenfabrik Berthold Hermle AG provide direct access to operating businesses. This structure allows the firm to combine family-office mandates with institutional mandates under one regulated entity. Succession and governance rest with a supervisory board drawn from banking and industrial backgrounds rather than a single family principal.
