Quoniam: CEO and co-founder Helmut Paulus leaves for personal reasons
Managing Partner and CEO Helmut Paulus has decided to leave the Company for personal reasons after more than 20 years of service.
Helmut Paulus is one of the co-founders of the Company. In his time as CEO, he helped increase assets under management to more than €30 billion by gaining the trust of institutional investors and by facilitating the stable and successful growth of the organisation into a partner-run business that now employs 130 people at its offices in Frankfurt and London.
Helmut Paulus will leave the Company at his own request with effect from 30 June 2019. The Supervisory Board would like to thank him for his outstanding achievements and his unwavering commitment to making the Company one of the leading quantitative asset managers.
Nikolaus Sillem will become the new CEO, subject to approval from the regulators. Sillem served for many years as a member of the Company’s Supervisory Board, stepping down in March 2019, and headed up Union Investment’s institutional business. Quoniam will continue to operate as a partner-run quantitative asset manager with a focus on major institutional investors in Germany and abroad.
