About Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG

Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG (Berenberg) is a Hamburg-headquartered private and investment bank founded in 1590 and organized as a German limited partnership with personally liable managing partners. The firm operates across Europe and the United States, with a notable presence in London and Frankfurt, and serves high-net-worth individuals, family offices, institutional investors, and corporate clients. Its activities span wealth management and asset management (discretionary and advisory mandates, pooled funds, and multi-asset solutions), investment banking (equity research, sales and trading, equity capital markets, and M&A/corporate advisory with emphasis on European issuers), and corporate banking (specialized lending and transaction services). Berenberg holds a German banking license and is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank; operations in other countries are conducted through locally regulated entities where applicable. Client deposits at the German bank are covered by the statutory deposit guarantee scheme up to the legal limit, and the firm also participates in the private banks’ voluntary protection scheme, subject to its rules and changing coverage caps. The partnership structure means the bank publishes audited annual financial statements but typically does not maintain public credit ratings. Revenue and headcount are managed in line with market conditions, and results are sensitive to equity issuance, trading volumes, and regulatory requirements. Access to services depends on jurisdiction and client classification, and terms, fees, minimums, and risk disclosures vary by product and entity.
