Germany's Lennertz Adds To Team

German family office Lennertz makes three new hires.

Lennertz, the Hamburg-based family office and wealth management group, this week hired Torsten Schlüter, Julia Stöcker and Katharina Dittmer, three experts in regulatory issues and portfolio management.

Since it was founded in 2015, the LCO team has grown from four to 30 members, the firm said in a statement yesrterday.

As managing director at Lennertz, Schlüter will be responsible for risk management and all alternative investment platform regulatory topics, the firm said. Previously, the 56-year-old held the same position at Adrealis Service Kapitalverwaltungs-GmbH and Hansa Treuhand Group.

The second appointment, Julia Stöcker, will be responsible for asset management at Lennertz. Her responsibilities include portfolio management, manager selection and furthering the development of asset management processes, the firm said.

The 40-year-old business graduate and CFA charterholder will join HQ Asset Management, a subsidiary of the Harald Quandt holding. Previously, she worked for six years in portfolio management at Rothschild & Cie in Zurich, where she managed extremely wealthy clients' portfolios and several bond funds.

Meanwhile, Dittmer previously worked for Deloitte and EY auditing banks and other financial service providers and advising listed companies on internal control systems. At Lennertz, Dittmer will take over compliance, the firm added.

"With the three new hires, we are continuing the growth of our team and company in key areas," said founder and managing partner Philipp Lennertz.

Lennertz carries out venture capital, private equity, blockchain venture and real estate investments.
