With the sale of private bank Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank AG to ABN AMRO completed on 30 June 2025, a new chapter in the corporate development of Hauck & Aufhäuser Fund Services Group (“HAFS Group”) is about to begin: The HAFS Group, consisting of Hauck & Aufhäuser Fund Services S.A. (“HAFS”) and its subsidiaries Hauck & Aufhäuser Administration Services S.A. (“HAAS”) and HAL Fund Services Ireland Limited (“HALFI”), remains fully owned by the Fosun Group. From now on, HAFS operates as an independent AIF management company (AIFM).
“Under the aegis of Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank AG, we created a stable foundation on which we will build our autonomy going forward. Being independent from the bank, we can now fully concentrate on our core business, which is specialised asset servicing for financial assets and real assets. This enables us to respond much more flexibly to the needs of our clients and to offer customised solutions in complex fund model structuring, portfolio management, risk management and ESG advisory,” said Christoph Kraiker, CEO of HAFS.
“With a view to the future, one main focus will be on the expansion of the Luxembourg platform in order to offer an even greater variety of operational and regulatory options within the European context to our clients. Of particular significance in this context will be the expansion of our digital infrastructure, including the implementation of eFront as central core system. The tool will support the development of enhanced reporting options for our clients,” elaborated Christian Mader, CEO of HAAS.
With more than 110 billion euros in assets under management (AuM) and assets under service (AuS), the HAFS Group is entering a new chapter, now operating as an independent entity. The group plans to strengthen its established position within the German-speaking countries (the so-called DACH region) and simultaneously to expand its international business in a pinpoint fashion. Moreover, the HAFS Group will offer new investment products such as active ETF, for instance, in Luxembourg and Ireland in future, responding to the growing demand for innovative, dynamically managed investment vehicles. In Germany, structured products will be refined and aligned more precisely with changing investor requirements.
