Decades of experience from international major banks and the family office sector have shaped Martin Krause’s professional path. Even in the early stages of his career, he learned to act independently and make autonomous decisions. Throughout his career, especially during his nearly 20 years at Merrill Lynch, his focus was always on building and maintaining long-term client relationships. Since November 2020, he has brought this deep industry knowledge to Lakefield Partners. Here, he concentrates fully on the proven, transparent investment approach, which consistently focuses on equities, bonds, and cash. With this clear structure and professional support, he is able to efficiently and cost-effectively achieve his clients’ individual investment goals. Supported by first-class institutional infrastructure, his priority is successful client service and high client satisfaction.
