Lloyd Fonds strengthening sales personnel and structures - COO Sales and
Marketing to leave the Company
Hamburg, May 26, 2008. Lloyd Fonds AG has completed the extensive
restructuring of its sales structures and personnel resources. The
Hamburg-based provider of investment products is thus responding to the
growing consolidation of and increasingly closer links between fund issuers
and sales companies. At the same time, personnel resources for sales and
marketing have been reinforced at all levels and strengthened with the
establishment of a separate company. With the completion of these
reorganization efforts, a strong basis for continued growth has been
created. 'The market is demanding clearer structures, swifter decisions and
greater independence in the individual departments, particularly sales,'
explains Dr. Torsten Teichert, CEO of Lloyd Fonds AG. 'With our just on 40
sales employees, we now have a highly professional and potent team able to
implement our expansion strategy in the market place.' Following the
restructuring of Lloyd Fonds' sales operations, Dr. Marcus Simon, a member
of the Management Board, will be leaving the Company at his own request
effective August 31, 2008.
Improved customer orientation
Following the share acquired in listed financial services group Feedback AG
in January, a further step has been taken to implement the Company's
strategy. Dr. Mattia Janari, formerly managing director of HCI Hanseatische
Capitalberatungsgesellschaft mbH, who has many years of experience, has
been signed as the new sales company's managing director. He will be
supported by Silke Harms and Sebastian Ziegler, two long-standing
executives at Lloyd Fonds AG, who will also be joining management. In the
interests of heightening efficacy and enhancing product communications,
marketing activities have also been integrated in sales as part of
restructuring. Looking ahead over the next few months, personnel resources
in the sales area will continue to be reinforced.
Dr. Simon to leave the Management Board
Following the implementation of the new structures, Dr. Marcus Simon will
be leaving Lloyd Fonds AG at his own request. CEO Teichert will assume
responsibility for sales and marketing on an interim basis. With the new
strengthened structures, sales activities will be assured of greater
independence. The vacancy now arising on the Management Board is to be
filled before the end of the year, with preliminary talks already being
held. 'We regret Marcus Simon's decision but are pleased that he will
retain friendly ties with us,' said Prof. Eckart Kottkamp, Chairman of the
Supervisory Board, commenting on Dr. Simon's exit from the Company. 'Marcus
Simon has played a crucial role in supporting the Company's growth strategy
and enriched it with his ideas. Since the beginning of the year, he has
been responsible for restructuring our sales operations.' Simon, who came
from policy buyer cash.life to join Lloyd Fonds' Management Board in 2006,
was initially in charge of finances and, as of 2007, sales.
