In the mid-1980s Jochen Sauerborn identified a gap in the market for traditional asset management solutions available to high-net-worth clients.

Instead of taking the usual approach and focussing on the selection of individual equities and bonds, he turned his attention to the bigger picture and invested in a wide range of hitherto little-known vehicles such as hedge funds or private equity, selected the best managers worldwide, and implemented stringent performance and cost transparency for the benefit of clients.

Today UBS Sauerborn is the premier asset management house for high-net-worth individuals in Germany. UBS Sauerborn was formed at the end of 2004 as a result of the merger between Sauerborn Trust, the leading Family Office in Germany, and UBS, the largest wealth manager in the world. UBS Sauerborn is already setting new standards in terms of advisory services and management of complex asset structures and foundations. UBS Sauerborn is a business area of UBS Deutschland AG.
