Press release new fund manager Svilen Katzarski
Successful fund manager Svilen Katzarski chooses BlackPoint
With Svilen Katzarski, one of the most successful fund managers of the last 16 years is moving to BlackPoint Asset Management. The 45-year-old will now be strengthening the fund management of the BlackPoint Evolution Fund, which he will manage together with Alexander Pirpamer and Marcel Huber.
One of Germany's most successful fund managers is moving to BlackPoint: Svilen Katzarski is now strengthening the fund management of the BlackPoint Evolution Fund. The investment expert comes from Degussa Bank, where he has worked since 2008. There he headed fund management and was primarily responsible for asset allocation, stock and bond selection, and macroeconomic analysis. During his time there, he managed almost one billion euros in investment funds. Katzarski's track record speaks for itself: During this time, his funds were consistently among the top 1 percent of their Morningstar peer groups - and that across all periods. In addition, his achievements have been recognized with more than 30 awards in four different fund categories. With this new addition, BlackPoint is not only strengthening its fund management, but is also underlining its claim to position itself as a major provider of active fund management in the long term.
Svilen Katzarski, who holds a diploma in economics and a master's degree in econometrics from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, comments on his decision to join BlackPoint: "BlackPoint combines an experienced investment team with a clear, long-term strategy - this opens up new perspectives that suit me very well. I look forward to further developing the BlackPoint Evolution Fund together with my new colleagues."
Alexander Pirpamer is looking forward to the new addition:
"With Svilen Katzarski, we are gaining one of Germany's most successful fund managers as co-manager for the BlackPoint Evolution Fund. His expertise fits perfectly with our business model and is another important step for us - towards long-term success and a new benchmark in active fund management."
For Eduardo Mollo Cunha, Svilen Katzarski is more than just a new colleague: "He is a statement of our commitment and our ambitions. Three years ago we started with a clear vision. Our concept is based on strong principles. These form the intersection of our beliefs: skin in the game, specialization, the power of time and quality, and equality of interests. The focus is on active fund management. And we are convinced that this can only be achieved with the best fund managers."
