Deutsche Bank

Family offices navigating cross-border complexity often find that a single banking relationship cannot cover investment management, structured financing, and succession planning simultaneously. Deutsche Bank Wealth Management, the private banking arm of Deutsche Bank, addresses this by combining a global balance sheet with locally executed client coverage. The division sits within Deutsche Bank’s Private Bank, which reported EUR 685 billion in assets under management as of December 2025, giving it institutional depth that smaller private banks cannot replicate.

The offering is structured around four pillars relevant to family office principals:

• Discretionary portfolio management built on a Chief Investment Office view, with a modular framework blending core strategic allocation with thematic and high-conviction satellite positions
• Fund solutions spanning public and private markets, including access to capital markets products such as equities, fixed income, FX, and structured products
• Tailored financing covering real estate lending, leveraged buyouts, sports assets, and private equity liquidity solutions
• Wealth planning for founders and families facing succession, liquidity events, and long-term continuity

A dedicated family office track within the platform addresses the specific governance and financing needs of established family offices, including an annual Family Office Financing Report published by the Private Bank. The bank explicitly serves entrepreneurs, global families, and multigenerational wealth holders, and its inquiry form segments prospects by investable assets starting at EUR/USD 2 million, though the family office offering is clearly oriented toward significantly larger mandates. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined through direct engagement. Buyers seeking a technology-first platform with self-service reporting tools will not find that here. This is a relationship-led, advisory-driven model suited to families that want institutional access and cross-border banking capability under one counterparty.
