In 1998, Bert Flossbach and Kurt von Storch founded Flossbach von Storch AG in Cologne. Both share the desire for independence and the claim to operate first-class investment management. The roots of the company lie in looking after wealthy private individuals; today the company is the largest independent asset manager in Germany and one of the largest German managers of multi-asset funds. Together with Prof. Dr. Thomas Mayer founded the Flossbach von Storch Research Institute in 2014. The institute conducts research in particular on economic and monetary policy issues. Flossbach von Storch AG is still owned by its founders and executives. Imprint: https://www.flossbachvonstorch.de/de/impressum/
