Our history

The HQ Trust name derives from Harald Quandt, whose family name is best known for its ownership of BMW. The Harald Quandt family became an early pioneer in family office wealth management and alternative investing in Germany after its single family office was founded in 1982 by Harald Quandt’s daughters. Based on its early successes, the family founded several financial services companies between 1988 and 1992. These firms became the predecessor organisations of what today is called HQ Trust (a multi-client family office) and HQ Capital (alternative investments).

With HQT One you have complete access to your current assets, your asset structure, controlling and all important documents relating to your assets at all times - as well as exclusive research material.

HQ Trust bundles all relevant third-party asset information and documents (such as from banks, tax advisors or auditors) for you in HQT One. We coordinate, structure, control and evaluate the data for you. In addition, you can also contact your advisor at a distance - via digital signature - and manage your assets.

You benefit from our team's decades of experience and expertise in managing highly complex assets.

Your services

For us, family office means professional total asset management – product-independent, neutral and objective. Our investment approach is characterized by many years of experience in alternative investments and diversification across all asset classes.

Family office

We help you with a clear strategy, forward planning, and a professional management of your assets. We pursue the same goal. Our cooperation is designed in partnership.

You decide which tasks you entrust to us and which ones you take on. Our activities include analysis and strategy development, consulting and implementation support, asset control and service for you and your family.

We rely on our experience as one of the leading multi-family offices in Germany.

Private asset management

HQ Trust combines the investment experience of generations. We operate as a family business with exclusive standards and pursue a counter- cyclical and long-term investment approach .

Legal, tax and personal conditions of our clients are included in our daily work.

Alternative investments

Unlike traditional investment concepts that reach their limits in a very demanding capital market environment with low interest rates for safe investments, we can help you realise the potential alternative asset classes offer.

By adding alternative asset classes, portfolios can be improved for an optimal return / risk ratio. Alternative investments include private equity, hedge funds, real estate or private debt.
