Tertium Family Office
Tertium Family Office was established in 2018 by Volker Pengel as an owner-managed multi-family office. It serves German and international entrepreneurial families with wealth planning, asset allocation and investment execution. The firm deploys capital across private equity, real estate, infrastructure, private credit, hedge funds and commodities. It executes through direct co-investments, SPVs and fund-of-funds structures. Confirmed holdings include positions in Berlin Biotechpark and Clinaris GmbH alongside co-investor Kalodion. Activity centers on Europe with emphasis on growth-stage opportunities in Circular Economy, Energy Transition & Renewables and ClimateTech. The team includes Thorsten Stelly, Janina Schiefelbein and Dr. Jörg Rahn. Additional vehicles or philanthropic structures are not disclosed in public materials. Tertium maintains membership in the Elite der Family Offices network recognized by ELITE REPORT and Handelsblatt. Tertium functions as an independent advisor compensated solely by client assets under management. This removes product incentives and third-party commissions that shape many wealth platforms.
