Boris Schran, Managing Partner at Peakside, said: “Since his start at Peakside in 2020, Frank Schäfer has continuously expanded our institutional business despite headwinds during the pandemic. He successfully closed fundraising of the Peakside Real Estate Fund IV, and that ahead of schedule. With Frank, we are looking forward to bringing another dedicated Partner on board to further enhance our business.” Frank Schäfer, Partner at Peakside, added: “What convinced me of Peakside is its entrepreneurial mindset paired with a deep understanding for the requirements of institutional investors. I will continue to drive the expansion of our institutional business. Apart from our fund and value-add strategies, we are focusing on the implementation of individual mandates and club-deal solutions, particularly as part of manage-to-green sustainability strategies. With that, we will also further diversify our client base.” Prior to joining Peakside, Schäfer was a Managing Director at Tishman Speyer in Frankfurt where he was responsible for setting up the firm’s investment management company (KVG) and the expansion of the institutional investment management business in Germany.
