FERI is further expanding its expertise in the area of volatility strategies and strengthening its Volatility Strategies team with the addition of Christoph Sporer. In his new role, he will be involved in the management of volatility funds and the further development of investment strategies with immediate effect. He will also play a central role in dialogue with investors. Sporer will thus make a significant contribution to further strengthening the interface between portfolio management, strategy development, and client service.
"With Christoph Sporer, we are gaining a proven expert who complements our team both professionally and personally. Especially now, when the demands on fund management, strategy, and customer service – also in the international environment – are noticeably increasing, his expertise is particularly valuable in our growth segment. Christoph not only brings with him in-depth knowledge and experience in the development and management of volatility strategies, but also strong expertise in dialogue with investors. This ensures that we will continue to be able to offer our clients innovative, successful, and robust concepts of the highest standard in the future," says Dr. Marcel V. Lähn, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of the FERI Group.
Christoph Sporer has many years of experience in institutional asset management with a particular focus on systematic option strategies. Since 2004, he has worked as a portfolio manager for multi-asset and absolute return strategies, including at Berenberg and Bankhaus Metzler. Since 2011, his focus has been on the development and implementation of volatility strategies. Sporer holds a degree in business administration (JLU Giessen), is a CFA® charterholder, and is a member of the CFA Society Germany.
“I am very excited to be part of FERI's success story. I find the opportunity to actively shape the further development of volatility strategies particularly exciting—both on the investment side and in direct exchange with our clients,” says Christoph Sporer.
FERI has been a pioneer in the development of volatility strategies for many years. With the introduction of OptoFlex over twelve years ago, FERI has significantly shaped the concept of systematic option premium strategies and made them accessible to both professional and private investors. The internationally award-winning product family has been consistently expanded with US EquityFlex and EuroEquityFlex and now manages client assets of more than three billion euros.
“For us, volatility is a separate, liquid alternative asset class that benefits from market fluctuations. Strategies for capturing volatility premiums are therefore indispensable in the portfolio context of both institutional and private investors and are therefore a fundamental component of our multi-asset investment approach,” says Lähn.
FERI's specialized volatility strategies team now consists of eight experienced experts with an average of more than 16 years of professional experience. Thanks to this broad expertise, its long-standing competitive performance, and the consistent further development of its products, FERI underscores its market leadership in this area and its ability to successfully implement complex capital market strategies in the interests of its clients.
