Matthias Kirchgaessner

Head of Research HF/PC, Plexus Research

With founding the PLEXUS Research GmbH as a sister company to PLEXUS Investments, I took over the Managing Partner role. As the company name suggests, we are specialized in researching investment ideas and conducting due diligence on those we find compelling. Due to the broad network and conducting research in alternatives for close to 20 years, my primary focus is on hedge funds and private debt with the aim of finding well balanced risk-adjusted returns.

Before PLEXUS, I have been active as a consultant in the field of alternatives with my company Cross Atlantic Alternative Asset Consulting. Before founding CAAAC in 2011, I was the lead Product Manager for managing customized FoHF portfolios under Allianz Hedge Fund Partners in San Francisco, Allianz Alternative Asset Management, and the successor company NEXAR Capital in New York. Prior, I was a Product Manager with former Deutscher Investment Trust (dit) and Allianz Global Investors (AGI), responsible for product strategy, product development, and implementation in Frankfurt.
