Verium AG
Verium AG was established in 2011 by Marc Erni, Markus Heeb, and Matthias Huber. The firm draws its client base from several Swiss entrepreneurial families whose capital it manages on a multi-family basis. The firm deploys capital through direct co-investments, SPVs, private equity, real estate, infrastructure, and secondaries. It covers buyout and growth stages. Confirmed geographic reach includes Europe and Oceania. Portfolio activity centers on mid-market businesses and development projects. Sector exposure spans FinTech, AgriTech & FoodTech, PropTech, ClimateTech, Energy Transition & Renewables, Healthcare Services, and Industrial Tech. The firm also holds specific residential assets including Equinox 76 in Rüschlikon and Aeris in Küsnacht. Team size and total deployment figures remain undisclosed. Verium maintains membership in SECA and SAAM. It lists additional partners including George Merk, Dr. Marco Balmelli, and Dominique Frey on its board and investment committees. No adjacent philanthropic vehicles or club memberships beyond the two professional networks appear in public materials. Verium operates as an independent multi-family office rather than a captive vehicle tied to a single operating company. Its structure separates wealth-management mandates from direct-investment committees, allowing parallel execution of liquid and private-market programs for multiple families.
