Wealthgate
Wealthgate operates as a multi-family office established by former Südwestbank executives Christian Sammet, Dr. Michael G. Schmidt and Dr. Thomas Neis. The firm provides wealth management, investment advisory and succession planning to families and high-net-worth individuals from its base in Stuttgart. The office deploys capital across private equity, direct co-investments, real estate and proprietary funds. Confirmed holdings include positions in Day One Biopharmaceuticals and Formycon through the Wealthgate Biotech Aggressive Fund. It also manages the Globallytics Fund No. 1, which applies data and text mining, and the Wealthgate Multi Asset Fund. Geographic reach covers Europe, North America and Africa, with a 2023 direct real estate remediation and redevelopment project on a former industrial site in Salt Lake City. Assets under management stand at 473 million USD. The firm maintains additional operating businesses including WEALTHGATE Insurance GmbH and partnerships with BEG Immobilien and REALCON for real estate services. It participates in industry events such as the Börse Stuttgart Anlegerclub and holds memberships in VuV and KUNDENFOKUS. Service providers include V-Bank AG and Baader Bank AG as custodians. Wealthgate creates and sponsors its own investment products under the HANSAINVEST umbrella rather than relying exclusively on external managers. This structure allows direct control over strategy implementation in biotech and quantitative approaches while serving client mandates through a liability umbrella arrangement with NFS Netfonds.
