With the establishment of an advisory board, the FP Group aims to systematically incorporate external perspectives into strategic issues and has been able to recruit renowned industry leaders Katja Müller, Oliver Behrens, Dr. Armin Sandhövel, Marine Braud, Daniel Kalczynski, and Martin Nijkamp for this purpose.
The FP Group (FP Management Holding GmbH) has established an advisory board to incorporate external expertise into strategic decisions. The committee will provide early input on strategic market and regulatory trends and suggest ways to develop innovative investment solutions that meet investors’ needs. The focus is on complex framework conditions surrounding infrastructure investments in renewable energies, further developing quantitative investment strategies, and capital-efficiently structuring and implementing investment solutions. Through its companies, First Private Investment Management and re:cap global investors, the FP Group provides specialized asset management services in equities, multi-asset, liquid alternatives, and infrastructure investments for renewable energies.
‘The issues we deal with are becoming increasingly complex in terms of content, regulation, and investor expectations,’ explains Tobias Klein, Managing Director of the FP Group. ‘With the advisory board, we are creating a framework that specifically incorporates external expertise into our strategic work. This improves the quality of our decision-making. We recognize developments earlier and can tailor products more precisely to investor expectations. We can also further expand our network and improve our strong competitive position in our core segments.’
