FERI is a byword for comprehensive, individual, transparent and sustainable advice and support for private clients. With over 30 years of experience, we offer private investors a wide range of asset management services.
For us, your requirements and needs are the basis for planning and optimising your asset structure. We always keep an eye on all legal and tax aspects and try to bring about improvements for you.

The FERI family office is the strategy advisor for your assets. We offer services ranging from strategic asset planning, implementation consulting and results monitoring and controls, through risk management and asset protection strategies to sustainability consulting.
With the help of an asset liability management study, FERI can show you whether a financing system in its current form is sustainable and whether sufficient risk carriers are available or whether a modification of the system is advisable.
During the transition to a sustainable future, FERI guides and supports you in the implementation of a sustainability concept and in the implementation and further development of existing solutions.
FERI’s comprehensive support ranges from optimal asset allocation and investment planning to appointing managers, reporting, monitoring and controls. Clear structures always ensure well-documented decisions and transparent investments.
FERI carries out a cost check in three steps and determines the costs for mandates, depositaries and investment management. In times of persistently low interest rates, these are a key factor in the performance of any portfolio.
FERI uses the three-step manager check to assess the quality and performance of asset managers.
FERI evaluates current portfolios in terms of expected returns and risk and checks whether the allocation still meets the requirements regarding yield and available risk budget. In addition, FERI presents you with alternative portfolios that promise higher returns with the same risk or offer similar opportunities for returns with reduced risk.
To ensure the success of the investment, FERI provides guidance on risk management processes. These range from the preparation of a risk manual and risk inventory to regular reporting and commentary.
In order to identify the risk sources and their distribution in the portfolio of an investment, FERI prepares a risk sheet, which makes this information transparent and clear. It clearly shows what share of the overall risk is attributable to the individual investment funds, segments and asset classes.
FERI offers its clients the entire process of investment consulting and has continuously developed it since the 1990s. Thanks to our extensive experience, self-developed research and analysing tools and the access to around 250 employees in all areas of the investment process, we create significant added value for our clients through our range of consulting services.

FERI and Goldman Sachs deepen cooperation – Two innovative UCITS Hedge Funds successfully launched

Bad Homburg, 1/23/2026
by FERI
  • FERI continues its growth strategy in asset management and further expands its offering in alternative investments
  • Exclusive access for investors to FERI’s hedge fund expertise in the long/short sector
  • Launch of two innovative UCITS hedge funds successfully initiated in cooperation with Goldman Sachs

FERI AG and Goldman Sachs Europe Bank SE have deepened their existing successful cooperation. Building on this, FERI AG launched two new UCITS hedge funds at the end of 2025: the FERI Global Select Long Short Fund (ISIN: DE000A41ACX7) and the FERI Systematic Market Neutral Fund (ISIN: DE000A41AD06). Solely managed by FERI, both funds have been available to investors since November 2025. Since their launch, more than 75 million EUR in entrusted client assets are being managed, and both funds have started with positive performance.

The implementation of the innovative long/short strategy marks an important milestone in the long-standing cooperation and provides professional investors with exclusive access to FERI’s more than 25 years of expertise in hedge fund investments. FERI continues its successful strategy of expanding its own asset management offering when comparable innovative concepts are not available on the market.

Dr. Marcel V. Lähn, Member of the Management Board and CIO of FERI AG, said: “Long/short strategies are an essential building block of a hedge fund allocation. With these two innovative funds, we are consistently further expanding our Multi Asset offering and providing investors with exclusive access to our long-standing investment expertise in the hedge fund space.”

FERI’s objective is to provide investors with access to innovative strategies that unlock return opportunities while also supporting portfolio stability using Goldman Sachs’ equity long short execution platform. The two funds are offered in a UCITS wrapper, aim for a largely market-neutral risk-return profile, and are designed to complement each other.

Michael Schmitz, co-head Global Banking and Markets Public for Germany & Austria at Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE, adds: “The fund launch is a testament to our intensive and trusting relationship, showcasing the strength of our collaboration and our shared vision to deliver innovative investment solutions to the German market.”

Dr. Marcel V. Lähn added: “Our collaboration with Goldman Sachs is a key success factor for us. Together, we create solutions that provide our clients with access to attractive strategies while consistently advancing our growth strategy in asset management.”

Together, the two funds form the FERI Long/Short Strategy, which combines the return opportunities of a more offensive investment strategy with the stability of a market-neutral strategy, thereby creating a balanced risk-return profile.

The FERI Global Select Long Short Fund is a diversified equity long/short strategy with reduced equity market volatility that makes the best investment ideas of globally operating offshore long/short hedge fund managers investable in a liquid UCITS structure , while the FERI Systematic Market Neutral Fund is a rule-based, systematically managed equity long/short strategy with a market-neutral character, based on the proven selection process of FERI Systematic Global Equity.
