After more than 15 years of service (2001–2007 and 2017–2026), Thorsten Schrieber, long-standing member of the Management Board and Partner of DJE Kapital AG, has decided to let his contract expire in accordance with its terms as of 31 March 2026.
During his tenure, Mr. Schrieber was responsible not only for Sales (Wholesale/Retail and Institutional) and Marketing/PR, but also for Product Management, Investment Operations, Client Service and Institutional Portfolio Management. In addition, he will step down from his mandate as a member of the Board of Directors of DJE Investment S.A. in Luxembourg at that time.
“It has been an outstanding period to accompany DJE on its growth path over many years. Now, however, I would like to take on a new professional challenge at my former place of work in Frankfurt am Main,” said Schrieber.
Today, DJE Kapital AG manages approximately EUR 17 billion in assets under management and employs around 200 people, making it one of the largest independent asset managers and fund managers in the German-speaking region.
Commenting on Schrieber’s decision, Dr. Jens Ehrhardt stated: “Our collaboration on the Management Board was dynamic and inspiring and marked by many shared successes. We will remain on friendly terms going forward, especially given our personal connection spanning more than 30 years.” Prior to joining DJE, Thorsten Schrieber held senior positions at Zurich Invest and served as Managing Director of Credit Suisse Asset Management (Germany) GmbH, where joint projects were already realized.
Over the past ten years, DJE’s flagship fund, DJE – Zins & Dividende, increased its assets under management sixfold to approximately EUR 4.5 billion. This strong development also significantly shaped DJE’s institutional business, which has grown sustainably and expanded into Italy, Spain and Portugal in recent years.
In addition to sales-related successes, Mr. Schrieber’s tenure was marked by major regulatory initiatives, including the implementation of MiFID II and the introduction of ESG standards. “Above all, the cross-functional team spirit of addressing challenges together and successfully has sustainably strengthened our market position,” Schrieber added. A recent example of this innovative strength was the launch of two active ETFs in cooperation with Xtrackers/DWS.
As of 1 April 2026, Management Board member Christian Janas will assume responsibility for Mr. Schrieber’s former areas of responsibility. Christian Janas brings more than three decades of experience in the asset management industry and has been with the company since 2019. In addition to his new responsibilities, he will continue to oversee Individual Asset Management and Online Asset Management.
Day-to-day operations will continue to be managed by long-standing and highly experienced executives. This ensures continuity, stability and consistently high quality, as well as a smooth transition.
