In this position, he was responsible for twelve billion euros in various multi-asset investment strategies. From 2000 to 2009, Romig worked successfully as Head of Multi Management at Allianz Global Investors (AGI). The banking and business administration graduate began his career in asset management at ADIG Investment in 1997 and previously worked in the banking sector for Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank and Consorsbank, among others, from 1990. During his career, he obtained the titles DVFA Investment Analyst (CEFA) and Hedge Fund Advisor (EBS/BAI).

Major rating companies such as Morningstar, Lipper, Scope, Citywire, MountainView and FondsConsult have repeatedly recognized the outstanding performance of the funds for which Romig is responsible with international ratings, awards and prizes.
