We are decent people, making a decent return, in a decent way.

Meet Robin Muerer
At age 19, Robin spent an entire summer saving up money for a Greyhound trip across the US. When he arrived in Los Angeles, his feel for good investments led him to this black Gibson guitar. Today, it's a great source of pride and enjoyment, and you can find him strumming on it every once in a while. You'll also find him leading deals in our Munich office, where he is based, as one of our Co-Managing Partners.
