Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBernhard Pfaff is a Senior Portfolio Manager based in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main area with 21 years of experience in multi-asset portfolio management, risk analytics and institutional asset management. He combines a summa cum laude doctorate in economics/econometrics with hands-on roles at Helaba Invest, Invesco and Dresdner Kleinwort, applying portfolio optimization, market risk frameworks and ML/AI methods to pension and multi-asset solutions. His background spans macroeconomic modeling, FX and fixed income model development and investor-facing research, giving him a rare blend of quantitative depth and client-focused portfolio construction. Known for building and maintaining macro models early in his career, he still leverages econometric rigor when translating macro signals into asset allocation decisions. Colleagues value his ability to bridge academic econometrics and practical asset management workflows, particularly in defined-benefit pension contexts. He brings a long-term, research-driven perspective to multi-asset risk and return engineering.
