About Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank AG

Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank AG is a German private bank formed through the acquisition of Bankhaus Lampe by Hauck & Aufhäuser and subsequent rebranding, combining long-standing private banking franchises with roots in the 19th century. The bank is headquartered in Frankfurt am Main and operates offices in several German financial centers, with additional asset servicing capabilities in Luxembourg. It focuses on wealth management for high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs and family offices, institutional asset management, fund services and depositary functions for UCITS and AIFs, as well as corporate finance and lending secured by securities portfolios. Ownership resides with entities controlled by Fosun International, and the bank is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank; Luxembourg subsidiaries are overseen by the CSSF. Product coverage spans discretionary and advisory mandates, multi-asset and equity/bond strategies, alternative investments and structured products, alongside fund administration, custody and depositary services for third-party asset managers. Digital access includes a hybrid wealth offering marketed under the Zeedin brand aimed at lower entry amounts than traditional mandates, while core private banking typically requires higher minimums and a relationship-manager model. Accounts, cards and standard transactional banking are available but are not positioned as mass-market retail services; lending is primarily Lombard-style or property-related for private clients and financing solutions for institutions and funds within defined risk frameworks. The bank publishes regulatory disclosures under MiFID II and SFDR and offers sustainability preferences in mandates and funds, though methodology and exclusions vary by product. Fees follow the usual private banking structure of percentage-based management and custody charges plus product costs; public fee transparency is limited and pricing depends on mandate size and scope. Statutory deposit protection is provided by the German scheme (EdB) up to the legal limit per depositor and account-holding entity; the bank also participates in the private banks’ voluntary scheme, subject to that scheme’s changing conditions, exclusions and caps. Recent years have been characterized by integration of systems and teams after the Lampe transaction, brand consolidation to Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe, and continued expansion of asset servicing, while the institution remains smaller than Germany’s universal banks and oriented to niche, advice-led business lines with corresponding complexity, concentration and operational risks inherent to private banking and fund services.
