About Us | HQ Trust

HQ STANDS FOR HARALD QUANDT

We have been managing significant assets for more than 30 years - over generations

As a Multi Family Office, we look after the assets of private individuals, families and foundations. We also advise institutional investors, pension funds and pension schemes.

We have an exceptionally long experience in alternative investments.

All financial service providers of the Harald Quandt Group work strictly independent of banks. You can share in their success.

FAMILY OFFICE AS A TRADITION

Closely linked to Germany’s industrial history

1973 – 1981

Sale of industrial interests

In the post-war years the Quandt family invested in German industrial companies. The holdings, including the Industriewerke Karlsruhe, were gradually sold from 1973 onwards.

1981

Foundation of the Harald Quandt Holding

Harald Quandt's descendants have had their assets and holdings in various financial services companies managed by Harald Quandt Holding since 1981.

1988

Opening up for further clients

The Single Family Office becomes a Multi Family Office: In 1988 Harald Quandt Holding opens up to support other families and institutional investors in the management, organisation and preservation of their assets. Through a minority shareholding in FERI/Sauerborn, the house gains further expertise in the management of large international assets.

2006

Foundation of HQ Trust

After becoming Germany's largest multi-family office, the shares in FERI/Sauerborn are sold. The family founds its own Multi Family Office with HQ Trust, offering a comprehensive range of services.

2016

OUR PRESS CONTACT

HQ Trust in the mirror of the press

Die Nachfrage nach Immobilien ist ungebrochen

Real Estate Fonds bieten eine gute Möglichkeit, in den Bereich Immobilien zu investieren. Kristina Chorna erklärt, worauf Fondsmanager bei der Auswahl einer Immobilie achten – und worauf HQ Trust bei der Auswahl eines Fondsmanagers.

Auskömmliche Erträge in wirren Zeiten

Angesichts von Nullzinsen und einer globalen Inflationsrate von 1,5 Prozent in der Eurozone stellt sich die Frage, mit welchen realen Erträgen Anleger in den kommenden Jahren rechnen können. Reinhard Panse, Chief Investment Officer von HQ Trust, hat sich dazu die Erträge von Aktien und Renten von 19 Ländern seit dem Jahr 1900 angeschaut.

Timing ist alles

Natürlich ist die Börsenregel „Timing ist alles“ eine Binsenweisheit: Gute Tage im DAX zu verpassen, kann sehr viel Geld kosten, aber nur an diesen Tagen investiert sein, ist nicht realistisch. Welchen Einfluss die Top-Tage im DAX haben, zeigt Sven Lehmann bei seiner DAX-Analyse.
