Our aim is to fulfill the expectations of a family as individually as a single family office.

We are as efficient and professional as only a multi family office can be.

Your Family Office Bank: How can we advise you?

Although they represent high living standards, large family assets also pose difficult challenges. They comprise a wide range of different asset classes. The preservation and accumulation of assets over generations is no easy task and requires diverse services, sound knowledge and objective advice.

Marcard, Stein & Co provides the full range of family office services required to comprehensively manage highly diversified family assets. Based on two important characteristics we differentiate clearly from other participants on the German market: Marcard, Stein & Co is the only private bank to focus its expertise entirely on its core business as a family office. 

Moreover, Marcard, Stein & Co holds a full banking licence. Thus we are part of the in-depth control systems of a bank in the German banking system and we can also provide you with the full range of products and services of a bank.

Our Services for your individual Family Office

Our Investment Philosophy
The experience of over 220 years of history has taught us that a uniform, conservative investment philosophy geared towards value preservation is the basis for the preservation of wealth and lasting prosperity.
Family Strategy
The head of the family must ask himself in what legal structure the family wealth can be preserved for generations to come. A key influencing factor here is also the development and safeguarding of a family culture that is consistently committed to the preservation of family wealth over generations.
Financial Structures
When determining the strategic asset allocation for the total assets, we combine the wishes and objectives of our clients with our experience in how risks can be avoided and returns secured in the long term.
Tax and Legal Structures
Tax and legal structuring issues are worked out by our experienced family officers for the family's individual issues and solutions are proposed. These are implemented in collaboration with the relevant experts from the legal and tax law professions required depending on the issue at hand.
Exclusive Investments
A family office must enable family members to have personal contact and direct contact with decision-makers and experts from the business world.
Capital Markets
In the area of capital markets, we assume responsibility for the tactical allocation of our clients. This includes controlling and managing the asset managers as well as the portfolios and mandates managed by the client themselves, for which we receive the autonomous management mandate if there is no adequate provider on the market.
Real Estate
Our real estate management team was established over 15 years ago and manages our clients' physical and fund-based real estate portfolios. Our services cover the entire real estate management spectrum, from strategy, control and operational implementation of real estate asset management to owner representation and all control and reporting functions.
Private Equity
We support our clients' investments across the entire spectrum, from private equity to direct entrepreneurial participation. Our expertise is characterized by successfully completed individual projects in which we have played the key role between the various internal and external teams of experts in order to protect the interests of the asset owners in the best possible way.
Risk Management
The aim of our investment process is to diversify the structure of the total assets as broadly as possible so that the assets have an optimized risk/return ratio and also perform consistently in the context of various scenarios.
Reporting & Controlling
A prerequisite for any good decision is to make it on the basis of up-to-date information. This is why we have developed a highly sophisticated reporting and controlling system. It ensures that if a decision needs to be made, all relevant information is available without any particular delay.
Research & Publications
Regularly analysing the economic environment is an important contribution by the experts in our Investment Office in order to derive the key implications for strategic and tactical asset allocation.
Concierge Service
Knowing your assets are in good hands is one thing. In addition, knowing that you are in good hands with us with any other questions is another.
