Dr. Markus Höller

Education: Studied Economics in the Bachelor's and Master's programs at the University of Augsburg, followed by a Ph.D. at the University of Munich.

Investment Experience: With over 17 years of active experience in the capital markets, his investment journey is far from coincidental; it was shaped by a family tradition in stock trading. Growing up in this environment, he developed a keen sensitivity to market movements, risk management, and asset allocation from an early age.

He has participated multiple times in academic conferences and industry roundtables, where he presented case studies on major German corporations such as Siemens Energy, Bayer, and Infineon. In these discussions, he emphasized the importance of identifying "undervalued assets" and "structural turning points" in turbulent markets.

Since 2011, he has worked at BlackRock as a Sales Manager and ETF Product Specialist, developing a deep understanding of the U.S. ETF ecosystem, liquidity structuring mechanisms, and capital flows.
