Assenagon expands the management team of its Swiss subsidiary

The independent asset manager Assenagon appoints Matthias Kunze as Managing Director of its Swiss subsidiary. Kunze joins Hans Günther Bonk, Dr. Dr. Heimo Plössnig and Nestor Wildhaber as the fourth member of the Swiss management team.

Matthias Kunze has been Managing Director of Assenagon Asset Management S.A. and Global Head of Distribution since 2020. A graduate in financial mathematics, he began his career in distribution at Assenagon in 2013, focusing on institutional investors, family offices, private banks and asset managers. Kunze's appointment as Head of Structured Sales followed in 2017, before he became Head of Sales across all locations in 2020.

"With Matthias' appointment to the Swiss management board, we are further expanding our sales expertise in the important financial center of Zurich - a logical step to advance our strategic goals in Switzerland," says Assenagon founder and member of the Board of Directors, Hans Günther Bonk. It was only in October 2024 that the asset manager strengthened its sales capacities in the Swiss office with the appointment of Marc Fankhauser. This was the fifth new sales hire in the past year.

"We are delighted to now have Matthias' professional and personal expertise on board in the Swiss management team and wish him every success in his new area of responsibility," adds Vassilios Pappas, founder and member of the Board of Directors at Assenagon.
